Salomon XA Forces Mid tactical and trekking boots review
I was really curious about Salomon’s hiking shoe / running boot. Partly because I’ve been training and racing in Salomon trail running shoes for years, and partly because I’d never had boots from them before, even though I’d heard a lot of good things about their gear. The third reason was that for my increasingly frequent rucking sessions, the Salomon XA Forces Mid boots looked like a perfect choice. Theoretically. Of course, the real test is always out on the trail. Summary 4.67 MAGYAR

Varusteleka Sarma TST RP80 military and bushcraft backpack review
When I was young, I had an external-frame backpack – it was very “cool” back then, and I used it a lot in the Tatras, Transylvania, and the Hungarian mountains. During my university years, internal-frame packs became much more “cool”, I even made one for myself, and hitchhiked all over Europe with it. Lately I’ve had to realize that neither is better or worse than the other – you just have to choose the right one for the specific use case. That’s why I picked up a really strong and large external-frame pack: Varusteleka Sarma TST RP80. After several months…

Mil-Tec Teesar 100 military / bushcraft backpack review
At the end of October I managed to get my hands on a real specialty, the Teesar 100 backpack from Mil-Tec, which is different from a general load-carrying pack in almost every way. It was a joy to hold it in my hands, but it was an even bigger joy to use it. The adjectives in the title may sound strange for a backpack, but it will quickly become clear why we are not talking about a “simple” hiking pack. Summary 4.1 MAGYAR

Wisport Crafter 55 military backpack review
When the Elite Challenge preparation started (2021), I wanted a backpack that was small, compact, very durable and practical. I planned different workouts for myself, most of which included backpacking tasks. After a long search, I chose the Wisport Crafter 55 backpack from the Polish company Wisport, because it was exactly what I wanted. How much did it live up to my expectations? After 3 years of use, I can say a lot about it… Evaluation 4.66 MAGYAR

The "Millennium Falcon" of ultralight rain jackets - NORTHERNLITE Superlight Rain Jacket
If weight and quality matter, this could be your rain jacket! I was quite surprised when, during an interview, a recently launched Finnish outdoor company, Northernlite, asked me if I would share some thoughts about their new Superlight Rain Jacket, which is currently under development. I was surprised because I represent a different style than them - but it was still nice and of course I said yes. The company represents more of an ultralight hiking style, and I ... well, I don't like lighter gear. Plus, it's a prototype, which makes the test even more interesting. Evaluation 4.9 MAGYAR

HOKA Anacapa Mid 2 Gore-Tex review: hiking boots or a new type of trail running shoes (+video)
Ever since I was a child, hiking boots have been a robust, strong shoe that "can withstand everything" in the field. Ever since I've been cross-country running (this can also be measured in decades), since then the classification of shoes has become more nuanced, I've used several cross-country running shoes that were a little heavier than their counterparts, but still qualified as running shoes. Testing the HOKA Anacapa 2 Mid GORE-TEX boot was also interesting because it is a boot that is typically a cross-country shoe. Partly from recycled materials. Evaluation 4.67

BACH Specialist 75 backpack with extra comfort and military durability
Extreme terrain? Dense thicket? A heavy burden? This bag has no obstacles. The BACH Specialist 75 is a real backpack specialty that I tested this summer. Big, strong, durable, but still light, and hiking with it is a real experience! A hiking bag that, thanks to its design and design, gives you much more than what you might need on a normal tour, but is also very competitive in terms of price and weight - while providing outstanding support even in more difficult situations. Does such a thing really exist? The test shows. Evaluation 4.84

PANTAC Molle Forward Deployment Pack tactical backpack review (+video)
Pantac Molle Forward Deployment Pack is a massive, robust backpack optimized for carrying heavy loads for long-distance walking and deployment. It does not provide the comfort of hiking bags at all, but it shows its true values in its material and implementation when you have to carry a really heavy load for a long time, even in extreme conditions. Both its exterior and interior design were designed for this purpose.

MARDINGTOP 70 backpack - more than a trekking, but only almost a tactical (+videó)
In our series, I am now presenting you a transitional bag - the Mardingtop 70 is suitable for use in bushcraft, airsoft, adventure travel, but it is more of a durable and easy-to-use hiking bag. It was my companion on several days of tough hikes and camping trips, and apart from a few minor inconveniences, it didn't cause any problems, and even served as pleasant surprises. I already had experience with another bag from the brand, unfortunately, most of the faults indicated there are also found in this bag, but the company has already repaired other (perhaps newer) backpacks! I…

I chose the bag to prepare for the Elite Challenge in 2021, as well as to raise backpacking training to a higher level. I wanted to test and try out a medium-sized backpack designed for serious use. I looked through the descriptions and tests of many bags, and finally decided on this one. Let's see, after a year of intensive use, was my decision right?

Haix Nepal Pro Desert tactical and military boots review
What is the difference between a hiking boot and a military boot? With the help of Haix Nepal Pro, we are looking for answers to this question in this test, taking into account that shoes are made for a wide variety of different needs in both categories, so it is not possible to draw a sharp line between them. We started the test from the tour use side... (one version of the HAIX Nepal Pro boots is semi-official footwear of the Hungarian Armed Forces, but the test was born regardless of this fact)
