SOURCE Product Reviews

I love this Hipster Pack, it is great not having a hot pack on my back. It has easy, quick access for snacks on the go and heaps of extra storage for essential bike fixing gear.

These are my fourth pair of Source sandals, and I'm sad to say this Urban model is definitely not my favorite. The style is nice, but the straps are much thinner and shorter  than the classic, stream and stream sport that I own and love, and the soles are more along the quality of good flip flops than what I've come to know and love of Source.

Best sandal ever, good arch support.

NO FRILLS, RELIABLE MEN & WOMEN OUTDOOR ALL-TERRAIN SHOES

~ What ~
With triple-layered soles plus patented X-Strap anchoring points, these all-terrain sandals come in 8 colors and 13 sizes for men and 6 colors and 7 sizes for women. Lightweight with 3 adjustable Velcro straps that offer the option of being a slip-on shoe, they include A.R.T4 Grip Top Soles and A.R.T2 Grip Outsoles with permanent odor control. Each pair arrives in a reusable zippered bag with a matching strap design hangtag.

~ Why ~
These shoes are so cool. I walk our dog miles a day so have to have trustworthy, comfortable shoes that can put up with wear and tear, and these basic sandals are excellent at providing enough cushioning on the soles with plenty of adjustable straps. My husband loves that he can adjust each strap to accommodate his feet and they do not slide around. Being able to convert the shoe into a slip-on is an added benefit. Adding the zippered bag is a thoughtful feature for storing or traveling.

~ Why Not ~
Some may not like the simplicity of this shoe, but you could check out the thicker, padded, and heavier sole type that SOURCE offers. Others may not like the patterns offered and prefer solids or different colors.

~ Wish ~
It would help if cleaning and care instructions were included.

~ Want ~
If you are looking for a perfect pair of straight-forward, no frills, basic outdoor sandals that can be worn without your feet getting sore wherever you go, these are a great choice.

Thanks to SOURCE for these shoes that I am under no obligation to review.

WELL-DESIGNED, COMFY MEN & WOMEN OUTDOOR ALL-TERRAIN SHOES

~ What ~
With triple-layered soles and triple-layered straps plus patented X-Strap anchoring points, these all-terrain sandals come in 5 colors and 12 sizes for men and 2 colors and 6 sizes for women. Lightweight with Velcro straps, they include A.R.T1 Grip Top Soles and A.R.T2 Grip Outsoles with permanent odor control. Each pair arrives in a reusable zippered bag with a matching strap design hangtag.

~ Why ~
These shoes are phenomenal. I had bought a pair of inexpensive sandals from a “membership warehouse” that I had to tape gel inserts into the soles because the bottoms were so hard on my feet, but the SOURCE Gobi Sandals fit comfortably with plenty of padding not only on the sole but within the straps. My husband loves that he can adjust each strap to accommodate his feet and they do not slide around. Adding the zippered bag is a thoughtful feature for storing or traveling.

~ Why Not ~
Some may not like how bulky or heavy the shoes are, but they are so well-made and padded that you do not notice their weight when wearing or you could buy the no frills/basic type that SOURCE offers. Others may not like the patterns offered and prefer solids or different colors.

~ Wish ~
I wish there were more than only two color selections for women. It would help if cleaning and care instructions were included.

~ Want ~
If you are looking for a great pair of outdoor sandals that have good traction and can be worn a long time without your feet getting sore, these are an excellent choice.

As a long time user of Source bladders I looked to them when I decided to buy a dedicated pack and bladder system for mountain biking. Ordering and communication was first class and my package arrived in a very acceptable time frame. The product is very well made, is an excellent size for my requirements and so far has been fantastic. I love the wide mouth bladders, makes refilling so easy.

Love these sandals. Waited years to replace them, long past when I should have because they just weren't available in the U.S. Ended up with Teva, but really no comparison -- these are worlds better. Minimalist, perfectly placed strap design without plastic hardware makes them comfortable and secure. Easy on and off, especially for flat footers like me. Glad they are back!

We bought two Convertubes with Sawyer filter to go with our 1L Nalgene water bottles. We used them in our recent trekking trip to Nepal. The convertubes worked fine in most days. However, in the last few days, we had difficulties in getting the water through with one of convertubes. We were not sure what the reasons were. We thought about the possibility of the filter got clogged by dirt in the water. But if that were the case, then both convertubes should have the same problems but that was not the case. Also, the water to be filtered was from the Himalaya mountains and was quite clear from the look of it. But overall we were reasonably happy with it.

I'm wearing them now. Exceptional fit and comfort and built to withstand serious bush bashing., these sandals are durable enough to last years. My brother in law has a pair that are at least twenty five years old and they look as good as new. Every indication that mine will also last the distance. Hard to get locally in Australia . Give your au distributor a gee up. Regards Peter TD

Great functionality for all kinds of travelling. Useful. Neutrally taste of water. Easily foldable. No bulky drinking goods in your luggage. No leaking out of bottle due to a drinking valve. Heat resistant.
I would buy this bottle always again.

Had an original pair for many years. The version is even better

The iVis Blaze has great visibility day or night. Even filled to capacity (3l) it is comfortable to wear. The storage pouch has more than enough capacity for small tools, a headlamp, snacks or whatever. The shoulder strap encasement keeps the hydration tube and mouthpiece clean and out of the way. I find just two shortcomings. The first concerns the bite valve. It has to be twisted open to unlock which necessitates using two hands to get a drink. Source offers a “tooth-pull” valve for their military hydration packs that I highly recommend because it allows getting a drink using only one hand. The other shortcoming concerns is that the pack doesn’t have strap keepers for the chest strap, which leaves it dangling out.

Recieved quickly and the product worked a treat as expected! Was perfect for icy trekking conditons.

Excellent produit conforme à mes attentes.Trés pratique et peu encombrant dans le sac à dos.
Je recommande vivement................;

Système simple et efficace pour rendre étanche la poche à eau, couleur orange permettant de bien voir dans le sac à dos

Excellent

I bought my first Source Hydration pack approx 4 years ago. Used it on many hikes and especially motorbike rides ranging in length from 1 days to 6 months(several of 2-3 months) always had good use from the product until last year. Towards the end of our 6 months m/c trip thru Europe problems developed. The tube with the valve started to block up and after stripping the whole thing down found the problem was a light brown film blocking the tube and valve, I have no idea where this came from , because I am very fastidious about the quality of the water going in. I suspect it MAY be part of the antibacterial treatment of the plastic the bags are made from. Anyway I have replaced the bag with a new one (functioning well) and will see how long this one will last. I suppose 4 years of frequent use is not bad!

I already bought my 2nd pair of Gobi Women Sandals. After many years of trekking in desert and mountains I needed new ones. I use them primarily for hikes in dune landscapes and over hamadas of Sahara.
