We've already told you about Brasher's new Trailmaster, 'further
up the mountain' three/four-season boot for 2004, but they've also
been hard at work on their fabric boot range.
The FMB 1 (above) and FMB 2 GTX (below) - oi, no Germaine Greer /
Suzanne Moore jokes at the back, he said obscurely - are new designs
both of which use water-proof and breathable Gore-Tex liners to er,
keep your feet dry.
The FMB1 - priced at £80 - is the lower cut of the two and
constructed from suede and fabric with ventilation panels, brass
hardware and non-clogging Brasher soles. It's aimed at hill and
valley walkers particularly in warmer conditions.
The higher cut FMB2 costs a tenner more and has a higher cut ankle
for increased protection along with a stiffened insole,
water-resistant and breathable 2.2mm sude leather and a Gore-Tex
lining. Brasher reckon it's better suited to rougher terrain or
carrying heavier loads due to the added support. Looking at it, it's
actually mainly a suede boot, but there you go, why spoil a good
name?
Both Brasher FMB models will be available from early next year.
