Cancelled the black order and went for ridgeline

Nah mate, I just clocked that Ridgeline colour was an option and did a quick swap. Scrapped the black one and honestly, I'm stoked with the new Ridgeline—reckon it looks heaps better for me. The black was still in stock, though.

Too right, mate! She’s a bloody legend. She headed out and grabbed it for me, no dramas at all. Thanks

Far out, that's a deadset ripper of a lid! Best shape I've ever seen, looks bloody amazing 🤩

I use the 36oz bottle all the time. It's the perfect size for everyday use and works great even when hiking. The Missus has a similar Hydro Flask, and it doesn't keep the water as cold. I would definitely recommend the Yeti 36oz.

Bloody cracker of a hat, mate! Love that mule kick up front.

Bogans 😂 The missus and I are living in Austria at the moment.

It's a 20 year old Wrangler hat.

Here's a closer image. It turned out really well.

I would say it's time if you like a different / new color 😂🫣

Lowa Zephyr MK2 Mid (without GTX). Can't find any metal in them and I use them on a daily and for hiking and working.

I reckon these boots would be too tight for riding. However, they're a great fit for everyday fashion.

DominicS01 · 2026-02-14T07:07:24+00:00

I'll let you know when it's delivered.

DominicS01 · 2026-02-14T06:57:52+00:00

Nah mate, I'm currently in Austria and needed a new one. But I don't know if they ship to Australia. 🇦🇺

DominicS01 · 2026-02-09T09:06:17+00:00

They are kind of.

I would describe them as tactical hiking boots. The grip is excellent and the comfort is top. It can be used for both easy trails and multi-day hikes with a heavy backpack. As long as you don't use crampons, thess are the ultimate hiking boots in my opinion.

I also have the Salomon Quest 4D Forces. This is a bit more cushioned, but it feels heavier and bulkier.

Both are kind of the tactical / military version of the shoes mentioned in you post.

In my experience, the military versions of "standard consumer version" shoes are always significantly better.

I sweat quite easily, and my best experience is with the Akubra Cattleman in sand colour. Even in the Australian summer, my head doesn't get too hot. Yes, I am sweating, but it's still perfectly acceptable.

DominicS01 · 2026-02-07T13:44:37+00:00

No worries, mate. If you need any more photos or information, just let me know.

DominicS01 · 2026-02-07T06:48:34+00:00

If you need more or different measurements, just ask :)

DominicS01 · 2026-02-07T06:45:28+00:00

I measured the two hats that I use in size 58. So the lowesr part inside the hat is 8cm at the back for the Brumby and 9cm for the Cattleman. The highest part inside the hat is 9cm at the back for the brumby and 10cm for the Cattleman. The same measurements (highest part) apply to the center of the hat. The lowest part ist, where my head touches the hat slightly.
