Rab Down Hut Slipper

Product Information

Not all camping slippers are waterproof, and some are even not supposed to be used outdoors at all. If your camping slippers are waterproof, they will have some kind of membrane within the outer fabric and feature a rubber sole to lift them off the ground. As far as we know, there are no fully waterproof camping slippers out there, but if there are, we will be sure to let you know. Are Camping Slippers Worth It?

Surprisingly warm for their weight and well constructed with a reinforced sole area, these slippers could make a perfect gift for someone with cold feet to even use around the house. The Fleece lined inner warms your feet up rapidly even when putting this on with cold feet in wintry conditions. The trouble is, your tootsies will soon cool down and, especially if you’re camping on cooler days, they’ll soon start to feel the chill. Rab’s Cirrus Hut Slippers are soft and insulated, and designed to slip on after a hard day on the trail or on the hills, so keeping your feet both comfortable and warm. The Rab Hut Slippers are one of my favorite types of slipper for taking camping for their simple but effective construction and durable nature. The Pertex Quantum ripstop fabric can withstand light showers and a few steps on wet grass but is not designed to be worn like lightweight hiking boots. The main features to look for in tent slippers and booties are the insulation type, the sole durability, warmth, and waterproofing. This is how we prioritize the specifications of camping slippers: InsulationNo matter how comfortable your boots, it’s always a nice feeling after a long walk to unlace them and free your feet from their confines. The sole unit is a non-slip material, and the Cirrus Hut Slippers also have a 600 denier reinforced nylon lower edge wrapping all the way round them. The sole is semi stiffened and has a cushioned EVA footbed.

The Rab Hut Boots are almost identical to the low-cut slipper version below the ankle, but the boot version continues up the leg for added warmth and comfort. If you are someone who really appreciates being warm on a cold day or night, then these synthetic down booties might be for you. It should be noted that these boots don’t just keep your ankles warm but also make your feet warmer which can make them a bit too hot for summer nights. The cushioned sole coped well with gravel paths on camp and gave enough grip even on damp surfaces. As well as being warm and comfortable in winter, the Hut Slipper from Rab does not overheat on warmer nights and are great for lounging around. We regard these as one of the best camp slippers and would recommend them to anyone looking for their next pair of camp shoes to wear at the end of a hike. As already covered above, the insulation type should be one of your first considerations when looking for some warm camp footwear inside your tent. Down insulation offers the best weight-to-warmth ratio but synthetic insulation works better if it gets wet. Choose wisely, and get in touch if you have any questions. Sole Rubber soles with grip are what you need to wear your bushcraft slippers outdoors, as this ensures they stay dry and you don’t injure your feet on sharp objects lying on the ground. Fabric-soled slippers are the better choice to wear inside your shelter as they are less likely to damage your tent floor or air bed. Synthetic Vs Down Camp Slippers

Some camping slippers are better designed to be used outdoors than others, and the major contributing factor for this is the sole material. No matter how well-enforced, fabric soles will never work as well as rubber or PU soles. If your slippers are designed to be used outdoors, they will have a solid rubber sole with some kind of tread underneath for grip. If your slippers don’t have this, they are designed for your tent and not walking outside. Are Camping Slippers Waterproof? MATERIAL: PERTEX Microlight Rip-stop outer fabric, Soft brushed microfleece lining, Adjustable ankle If you are anything like me, you will buy these for camping and end up using them every day at home, around the house or garden. If you have ever tried a pair of Teva sandals, you will know how lightweight and comfy they are. These hiking slippers are even comfier. The outer fabric of the uppers is 30 denier Pertex Quantum, with a subtle ripstop pattern in the material. The lining is soft-feel 20 denier fabric and insulation comes from PrimaLoft Silver Insulation Luxe, which retains its warming properties when damp better than down.
