Showed alarming amounts of wear during a single 25-day trek in the Nepal Himalaya where I've used Vasque products successfully, previously. The leather stretched to such an extent that it became too soft to provide much protection or support. The rand has begun to lose contact in many places.
An excellent design that needs better materials, primarily the uppers.
