Ok thanks, I may go check out a few more outlets. After reading a bit about it, looks like a pair of great light duty hiking shoes. Looks attractive and light enough for normal use, with the added benefit of keeping ur feet dry during our local rainy weather, lol.
Welcome. I am wearing this everyday since the purchase to worn in the shoes. So far, I have purposely step into puddles of water, walked in streams of water etc (last week was the storm week) and true enough, it is really waterproof.
But this is not without down side. The membrane is breathable. So one may need to wear heat tech socks or thick socks if in cold places.
So far the Spider rubber has yet to fail me. I fell down before wearing other brands (even Saloman and Cat the normal version, not the heavy metal toe protection version). That's why I have been sticking to this.
The closest ones I have worn is Timberland (with the GSR sole). It came as surprise because they didn't mention waterproof but I found out that it is quite resistant as my feet are still dry after stepping into water. It served me very well in my last year's Hokkaido trip. But they have since changed the sole.
As for the jacket, since my Zara one disintegrated, I was looking for one that is wind resistant/proof, keep warm (not down) and waterproof. Just got one Northface Triclimate one. I can take out the inner fleece to wear as light sweater. Not bad at all.
