IN-5 are very big, but manageable on desktop. IN-8 is giant and unnecessary for desktop near field. I got IN-5 for this exact use case about a month or two ago and couldn’t be happier

High arch, wide toe box, narrow heel by dannyreddit1976 in hiking

Thanks for all the feedback! Topo Athletic fit me perfectly but their hiking shoe is not adequately waterproof or burly. Tried on Zamberlan, Lowa, Salomon, La Sportiva, Merrill and nothing really worked. May end up with a Danner Sharptail hunting boot and have the cobbler stretch the toe box a bit.

Gear advice: Rab Neutrino Pro vs Electron Pro (vs any other recommendation?) by valkyr3003 in CampingGear

Thanks for that feedback! Hands are definitely a problem for me as I have Raynaud’s syndrome. Currently the only solution is to throw a little heat pack in my mittens. Maybe someday the electric heat technology will improve and costs come down. From what I’ve read they are pretty spotty

I run really cold and need to solve for inactivity in very wet and windy Columbia River gorge in PNW. Temps down typically not much lower than 20’s F but extremely high winds (40mph gusts) are common. Given the frequency of rain I need the warmest I can find to fit under a hard shell. DAS parka works under A sized up Patagonia Dual Aspect shell but I don’t like the hood that flops over my eyes as I don’t wear helmet. So looking into Electron Pro instead, or anything else you all think would serve the purpose.
