If you’re the kind of hiker that tackles rocky, steep, uneven terrain with pace the Hedgehog Fastpack II Shoes are for you. They’re lighter than the classic Hedgehogs, but are still packed with technology to support, cushion and stabilise your journey through rugged terrain.
The soles are zonally fine-tuned with Cradle: the toe area gives added stiffness over technical rock; the midsole is packed with shock-absorbing XtraFoam for support when carrying heavy loads; and the heel shape is optimised for comfort. The OrthoLite insoles maintain their cushioning power over the long term and the durable Vibram XS Trek outer soles deliver the optimal balance of traction and durability without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
On top of all this, the synthetic nubuck upper is waterproof and the mesh is abrasion resistant, ideal for rocky and gravelly terrain. Basically, the Hedgehog Fastpack II Shoes are incredibly versatile, able to handle wet and muddy as well as dry and stony terrain.

Few brands inspire confidence like The North Face. Year after year they make some of the best ski wear on the market. Bold colours, flattering fits and this year there’s something even more exciting in the line-up, a new fabric they’ve developed to deliver superior comfort, FUTURELIGHT. An added bonus of FUTRELIGHT is its eco-friendly credentials. Recycled materials go into the product, the waterproof coating comes from PFC-free chemicals while the factory is solar powered. The North Face is named after the coldest, most unforgiving side of a mountain. But it was actually founded in 1966 at an altitude of 150 feet above sea level, on a beach in San Francisco’s North Beach area. Their mission is to provide the best gear, support the preservation of the outdoors and inspire exploration. Judging from this year’s collection, which matches style and rugged protection, they’re still very much on track.
