Retailers Trip to Meindl Factory
On a recent trip to the Meindl factory in Kirchanschoring, Southern Germany a selection of Outdoor retailers had a chance to take a closer look at how Meindl make their boots.
The majority of Meindl's boots are still handmade in Germany or their other factories closeby. From selecting the leather hides, to laser cutting, stitching and assembling the boots. The whole production process was on show to the visiting party and hopefully a little more knowledge on boot production was learned.
The advantage of these trips for retailers is that a greater understanding and knowledge of footwear production is gained. This insight can then be passed onto the customer, giving the end user greater confidence in the advice given by their local Outdoor Shop.

SOURCE WIDEPAC 2 Litre
It’s good Great price, with a rolltop opening, which makes filling and cleaning super-easy. You get an autoseal link between the feeder pipe and bladder, and the bite valve has a cap to prevent accidental squeezing. This means that there were no leaks in my test. Better still, the water taste was good as any here.
But You may prefer a simple screw cap, and some locking bite valves are neater.
Buy it if You want the best-tasting and most easily cleaned hydration system.
