Anyone got any recommendations for a decent hiking boot. Looking at Danner's but not sure if i am just buying into a name.

[BloodnThunder]

@spitfiredealer I think Diemme makes a pretty solid hiking boot.  I have personal experience with the Frye Rogan hikers.  Owned them for seven years.  I'm not sure they are quite as quality as Danners but they can take a real beating.  I've put them through hell and they still have life in them (resoled once).

I would have said Diemme was more a fashion boot in the same vein as Fracap tbh. I may be wrong though. I have some Fracaps here and I love the look of them, and they are very well made. Not sure i'd trust them to get me through a tough hike here in the Alps though. The vibram christy sole looks good but wears out super fast.
La Sportiva and Scarpa make good tough boots. Would look pretty shit with a pair of 634S out on the town mind Depends what you're looking for.

^ agreed when it comes to just about every model Diemme makes.  But check out the Tibet.  It's definitely not just a fashion boot.

i was always under the impression Diemme were a fashion boot too. Need a pair of boots for walking with good grip and keep my feet dry ish. Won't be something i would wear out on a night out but at the same time don't want a pair like this

I think I read somewhere that the 777SII might be on the horizon. So, are they a possibility?

[Giles]

It's a possibility.

I wanted to nail the 777 cut first.

Next 777 (after the 21oz re-run) is 14.125oz indigo…..

Then, who knows...

[4c]

14.125oz sounds good Could have used those all summer or today for that matter. (It's going to be be 105 today >:()

I need a good umbrella. Please advise.

Against wind, rain, or both?

What's the difference between a beanie and a watch cap?

I think that a beanie is a more encompassing term for a knit cap. I see a watchcap specifically as a military styled beanie with a turn up like the Papa Nui Convoy.

So beanie = umbrella term, watch-cap = specific version of beanie? I can live with that…

That's gonna help a lot when I show it to my teen and pre-teen sons who insist on wearing theirs on top of their heads even in -10C
