Ahnu Report

Posted by derrick on July 15, 2008

If you’ve been following along you’ll remember that Ahnu sent me a pair of Tamalpais II water shoes when they heard I was a famous gear killer.  The challenge obviiously is to see if they can hold up to my  poor care, or I should say lack of care in general. I have to say, they are holding up really well so far. A good sign. Usually I’d have at least one hole somewhere in my shoes by this point in the season. So far the Tamalpais’ don’t have as much as a loose string. Of course they do look lived in now as compared to the “spring collection” shine you see in the catalogs. Thing is, gear does not really look good until it looks lived in. Especially when it’s still all in one piece. The nice bit about the Tampalis is that they feel just like a nice part of comfortable running shoes. So much so that I’ve had to take a double take a couple times to be sure I was wearing the right shoes when I hopped into my kayak. Anyway, so far so good. I’m really pleased at how they are holding up and how the feel so far.

Tamalpais II from Ahnu

Posted by derrick on April 19, 2008

This week I received a pair of Tamalpais II multi-spot shoes from Anhu. The plan is to put them through the paces this season and see how they hold up. The Tamalpais II are designed for light hiking, trail running and of course just bombing around in. They are also the shoe that the folks at Ahnu thought a paddler would like. Throughout the summer I’ll pop in and show you how they are surviving the paddling life and share some experiences with them as well.
