I'm Tom from Cotswold Outdoor Harrogate.
And today I'd like to talk about
the Salomon men's X Ultra Mid Gore-Tex.
The Ultra mid Gore-Tex
has been fully updated and revised
in its latest iteration
with an updated Contragrip outsole,
as well as the active support
fit lasing system.
The X Ultra Mid is
a really comfortable shoe.
And for those wet days, it still has the
Gore-Tex membrane to keep your feet dry.
One of the best features
about the Ultra Gore-Tex,
it comes in a wide
fit as well as a regular.
It would be a bit more professional
if I could have like had it float up
like like keep my core engaged
and just be like.
The men's Ultra Mid
Gore-Tex is a great mid height boot
for those days when you don't need
the full support of a full height boot.
And you want to get away with a light
and fast adventure.
The human foot will sweat something crazy
like ml of moisture
just in a few hours of trekking.
That moisture has got to go somewhere.
It will sweat because you've got
a solid membrane on top of it.
So the best thing you can do
is have quality socks,
quality socks will do three things.
They will move moisture
away from the skin.
So at the end of the day, you peel
off the sock and it is full of your sweat.
But what you haven't
done is got macerated skin
and then leading onto blisters,
which you would get wearing
like normal cotton socks
or something that can't wick
the moisture away, can't move it away
from the surface of the skin.
They also loft in the right places
and compresses in the right places
so that it will give you a nice effect
and it'll be much more comfortable.
And of course, the other thing
it does is give you cushioning
that's really important
because you're not necessarily
going to get that from them
or enough of that from the boots .
And that's why you've got padded zones
within good quality socks as well.
So if you want to improve
the breathability, you need to buy better
socks. On the day you buy,
it is completely waterproof.
It's about how you treat it
and something like that.
Something that has got mesh,
which you wear it on a honkin day.
It's not the water
that's going to kill it.
It's all the dirt particles
that get washed in with it,
because then those dirt particles
grate against the Gore-Tex membrane
and then that way a hole in it,
and it's no longer waterproof.
And that's why you need to really look
after lightweight models and say,
look after in terms of using the Nikwax
fabric cleaning gel in terms of using.
Let me go out and grab it.
Let me grab it. The Nikwax cleaning gel
with a green top using something like
the proofer by Nikwax as well.
There are lots of different types
available with their purple top.
This has got leather on it.
So this is perfectly fine to use the wall
sweeping wax for leather model.
Yeah. So it's really important
to look after them And of course,
looking after him is not like absolutely
smashing them regardless of the weather.
Because if you do take them out
on honkin days and you do get lots of dirt
like in-between those layers of mesh,
then obviously it's going
to prematurely wear the mesh out,
but then also the Gore-Tex lining.
So if you're looking for a companion
for a lightweight adventure,
look no further than the X
Ultra Mid Gore-Tex.
Thanks very much for watching today.
