Milipol 17 – Meindl X-SO Corium GTX

November 22nd, 2017

Although German brand Meindl’s X-SO Corium GTX isn’t a tactical shoe, it gets a mention here on SSD for its use of Gore-tex Surround technology. I have a pair of shoes from another manufacturer with Surround and I really like the membrane which offers venting out of the sides of the sole in order to cut down on the hot feeling many get while wearing footwear with Gore-tex.

Meindl refers to the color as Black, but its really a deep Grey hue. Sizes 6-12 UK.

I really like a feature they’ve incorprated into the design. Wrist warmers are great, but they make it difficult to check your watch. UF PRO has introduced a watch window.
