Honestly I have no clue. I know it’s the South Island and I will fly into Christchurch. I won’t know much for details until November or so when todd gets off of the mountain in BC

Think they have Blk ones also
I run hanwag just not those, I run chillkat and Yukon. Had great luck with them.

I got these online from a site that a lot of guys on Rokslide have used. I got them for $197 shipped. So I’ll take ugly for $100 off

Nalgene makes the HDPE ones that are almost indestructible. Also cheaper then the other ones.
96oz flexible canteens are great for camp.

I don’t blame you, that’s hell of a deal.
I’m curious to see how narrow the last is. I love hanwag because in wide boots they don’t increase the heel pocket, just the forefoot. Yukon’s have been resoled once already.
