Changing of the Seasons

You’ll notice in the Walking Boots Sale that manufacturers like to rate their walking boots in seasons, from 1 to 4, by the terrain they are suited for. These seasons should act as a vague guideline for their appropriateness to what you need them for.

Season 1 is known as ‘active’ in that they are used for general, straightforward walks. You will not be attacking the big hills or steep slopes in these as they do not provide much support for your ankles and are going to be the lightest out there. As they do not expect too much action, they are not very good at keeping the water away from your feet but are very flexible.

Season 2, or ‘walking’, takes it up a level by becoming sturdier. The ankles will receive more support and your feet will be slightly more protected from water but they are still unadvisable for more extreme situations. A little flexibility is lost at the expense of a firmer sole but you will stick to the path more with better grip.

Season 3, or ‘hiking’, equips you with everything most people would need to take on the mountains. Here, you ankles are best protected, allowing you to adventure almost anywhere along the trail. It is also more likely to be made of leather rather than other materials to provide more protection and support.

Season 4, or ‘mountain’, are Walking Boots usually reserved for the serious, professional mountain tacklers. Taking you “above the snowline”, they are ready for absolutely everything. Unless you are planning to assault an incredible challenge, you will likely never need to think about these. They are highly rigid, made from leather and will be uncomfortable if you are wearing them outside of winter.

How To Look After Waterproof Clothing

If you have invested some of your hard earned cash in buying decent waterproof clothing, it is well worth taking good care of it in order to make it work efficiently for you for as long as possible.

Don’t be tempted to stuff your waterproof gear in a plastic bag at the bottom of your wardrobe. Whilst that won’t be disastrous so long as it is kept in a dry place, you are far better off hanging it up in the wardrobe, just as you would any other jacket or trousers.

By the very nature of the activities that you use your clothing for it is going to get dirty and it is that dirt which is going to stop the rain beading on the outside surface and is going to impact on the breathability of the garment. After use, make sure that you shake off any dried mud or use a soft brush and also clean any small areas of dirt with a soft cloth.

If clothing needs to be washed, make sure that you read the instructions carefully and do not on any account use non-biological washing powder. If you are reluctant to use the proper product recommended by the manufacturer then you could try biological soap flakes so long as they have no perfume, dergent or softener.

To keep your ladies waterproof jackets as waterproof as the day you bought them, you will need to re-proof the items at some stage. As soon as you notice that water is not beading properly, then is the time to re-proof. Just when that happens depends upon how often you use your clothing, how dirty conditions are and how much UV it has been exposed to from the sun. You can buy sprays to re-proof (although it is almost inevitable that you will miss the odd patch) or alternatively use a wash-in liquid which will give a much more even coverage.
