How to Choose the Best Rain Jacket

Feeling overwhelmed by rain jacket options? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
 

Key features to look out for when choosing a rain jacket.

  • Waterproof (obviously), but do you also need a jacket that's windproof, breathable, lightweight, and durable?
  • Materials to look for: GORE-TEX, NGX, Pertex.
  • Pit zips for ventilation.
  • Packability - even the world's most waterproof jacket isn't ideal for hiking if it takes up your whole pack when not in use.

Choosing the best hiking boots

Whether you plan to trek in the mountains or explore a
nearby national park, your footwear can seriously make (or break) your
experience. To get it right, you'll need to find the perfect fit in either
boots or shoes designed specifically for your intended purpose.


Top things to consider when choosing hiking boots

  • Choose boots for your foot shape.
  • Consider hiking socks.
  • What kind of terrain will you be on?
  • How long will you be in your feet?

Salomon Walking & Hiking Footwear

Salomon is a global leader in mountain sports equipment, and their walking and hiking footwear is engineered to provide superior stability, protection, and comfort across all types of terrain. At Kathmandu, we've curated a collection of Salomon shoes built with precision and durability, specifically for those who spend long hours on their feet, whether you're taking a casual weekend walk or tackling challenging multi-day hikes.

From agile, supportive walking shoes to robust, protective hiking boots, you'll find innovative features like the Quicklace™ system, advanced Contagrip® outsoles for superior traction, and Gore-Tex® membranes for guaranteed weather protection. Salomon ensures you have the necessary balance of comfort and protection, allowing you to focus purely on the path ahead.

Engineered for Stability and Grip on the Trail

Reliable Traction with Contagrip® Outsoles

The foundation of every great outdoor shoe is its grip. Salomon’s proprietary Contagrip® outsoles use a combination of different rubber densities and aggressive lug patterns designed specifically for varied surfaces—from slippery, wet rocks to deep, loose mud. This technology ensures you remain stable and confident on challenging trails, reducing the risk of slips and giving your walking and hiking stride maximum assurance.

Lightweight Comfort for Long Distances

Even their toughest hiking footwear is designed with a lightweight and agile profile. Utilizing cushioning technologies like EnergyCell™+ high-rebound foam, Salomon shoes reduce fatigue over long distances. The streamlined fit wraps your foot securely, ensuring comfort and responsiveness during your all-day hike or extended walk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which Salomon shoe is best for casual walking?

Models with a less aggressive tread and more flexible design, such as the X Ultra low-cut series, are excellent choices, offering great cushioning and everyday comfort with trail-ready durability for casual walking.

Are Salomon shoes waterproof?

Many Salomon models available at Kathmandu feature a GORE-TEX (GTX) membrane, offering complete waterproofing while remaining breathable. Check the product title and description for the "GTX" designation to confirm protection during hiking in wet conditions.

How does the Quicklace™ system work?

The Quicklace™ system is a minimalist, strong lace that can be tightened with a single pull. It allows for fast, secure adjustments on the go, which is ideal for fine-tuning your fit during a hike or long walk.

How do I choose between a low-cut shoe and a mid-cut boot?

Choose a mid-cut boot if you are carrying a heavy pack or need maximum ankle support on rocky, uneven hiking terrain. Choose a low-cut shoe for speed, agility, and well-maintained walking trails.
