Functional Luxury

Trails in upstate New York
Waited two (2) years for a pair of Baffin Pro in 13 Wide and it was well worth it.

First day, fresh out of the box, we covered eight (8) really steep hard rocky miles with a forty (40) pound pack on my back and my feet could not have been happier.

This is the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. The leather lining is truly a functional luxury feature. These are serious boots designed for carrying a heavy pack.

Only draw back is if you want to go fast & light this boot is too stiff.

Touring The Haute Route, Zermatt to Chamonix

Image
Tete Blanche, Walliser Alps, Switzerland
The crossing of the Walliser Alps, from the Matterhorn to the Mont-Blanc, is an epic adventure. Beyond our backcountry skiing ability but too good an opp to turn down!

While technically, the Haute Route is not difficult, brutal 4 to 6 hour climbs take a lot out of you. Go in April or May, when the days are longer, so you have the extra time to rest your legs before these epic descents. Because that's where the big fun begins.

Seven unforgettable days, breath taking views and pristine powder as we tackle the ups and downs to Chamonix: 
Day 1: Make the 90 minute climb up to the Britannia hut 9,900 feet.Day 2: From the Britannia hut we make the 5 hour climb up to the Adler pass. Skiing the steeps down to Zermatt.Day 3: Hop on a cable car in Zermatt (5300 feet) with the cable-car to the Klein-Matterhorn (12,600 feet.) Head up to Breithorn (13,745 feet.) Lock in your skis and drop down to Schwarzsee (8,525 feet.) Finish the day with a 2-hour climb…

Zephyr Deserts in Afghanistan

Image
Dear LOWA;

I purchased a pair of Lowa Zephyr Desert boots when I learned my unit was going to Afghanistan.

After walking over 450 kilometers through the rugged terrain consisting of rock, wadi lines that soaked our boots daily, and desert with thorny bushes, I discovered that my boots had finally started to wear out.

They lasted longer than other boots I have owned and I plan to get another pair soon.

Even though they are rotting from constant immersion in mud and water they are still comfortable.

Thank you for making such a quality product.
