Distance Fast-packer Mid — Women's

CRN-FTW-016 · In stock $199
Sizes 66.577.588.599.51011

The Cairn Backcountry Distance Fast-packer Mid is engineered for high-mileage thru-hiking and fastpacking, particularly in arid environments where exceptional breathability and quick-drying capabilities are paramount. Its non-waterproof Cordura AFT mesh upper ensures maximum airflow and rapid moisture dispersion, complemented by welded TPU reinforcements for critical abrasion resistance. Underfoot, a dual-density EVA midsole integrates a protective rock plate to shield against trail hazards, while the aggressive Vibram Megagrip outsole, with its 4.5mm lug depth, provides tenacious grip across varied terrain. The mid-cut design offers additional ankle support without sacrificing agility, built on a women's specific last with a gusseted tongue and a wide toebox for long-haul comfort. Weighing 750g per pair, these 3-season mids strike an optimal balance of protection and weight for extended efforts. Expect a secure, agile fit with ample room for natural foot splay over extended distances.
