    I still have an ancient pair of Thinsulate ones I used to wear when I spent lots of time in hostels. Great bit of kit.

    I've owned a pair of rab camping slippers for the past two years. I swear by them. An amazing buy and will never be without another pair. I wear them everywhere, camping, campervan, after a run and around the house. Great review and I couldn't agree more.

      I actually looked for a pair of Rab ones originally but always seem to be out of stock, so took a punt on these cheap ones and did the job.

    An interesting review of the slippers but i think UBFEN is more rugged and have a good grip. I've been using them since November, 2020 and they are SOLID.

    • @StephenJReid

      Are they still lightweight? Usually a compromise between weight and ruggedness

      @@StephenJReid they flatten, but that’s it, they have proper treads on them which add a bit of weight, the rest is down, bit like sleeping bags for your feet lol

  • @Hightower600
    @Hightower600 Год назад +1

    Another positive, you're well over 2 metres tall and they keep your feet insulated because you don't fit on your sleeping mat. I normally use the Montane ones as they pack down to nothing but I've a pair of Rab ones too but they're too bulky, much better for car camping perhaps.

    Been thinking about getting something like this for winter but by the looks of it theyre really only suitable for in the tent.
    In Scottish winter i don't think they'd last long outside the tent.
    Wet n slippy puts me off

    • @StephenJReid
      @StephenJReid  Год назад +1

      Have a look around at some other brands, North Face make a pair with grip. I have used these in shallow snow and damp ground and they’ve been ok. But they will get damp eventually
      Fine for the money and fine for a lot of the kinds of winter camps I tend to do, but there are more premium options out there.
