• Unique short sleeve & clip pole system lets the user easily peg the tent to the ground before building up the walls, thus keeping it secure in high winds while pitching.

Merrell Outbound Mid Gore-Tex The Merrell Outbound Mid Gore-Tex boots are fantastic backpacking boot.  Light yet supportive, they are the do-anything go anywhere boots.  The super aggressive tread holds in just about any terrain, and the waterproof breathable membrane keep your feet dry in the soggiest conditions.  I have put numerous miles in these boots, through cactus infested deserts to soggy mountains, and have not been disappointed.  The boots still look and perform great, and are looking like they will be good to go for a long time to come.
