Jack Pyke Tundra Boots

Jack Pyke Tundra Boots

JP’s Fieldman Boot has proved very popular, but now they have launched what I’d term as a rugged, robust all-weather winter design – the Tundra - resplendent in their own English Oak Camo.

Though the outer is almost fully covered in the pattern, the Tundra isn’t all about cosmetic cool. Standing 10 ½” high it’s a formidable design with three pairs of captive lace retainers and four pairs of speed hooks to allow easy ON/OFF usage, aided by the wide throat.

GOOD FLEX

story continues below...

Under the lacing system which draws the boot to your foot tight but has a good amount of flex due to the design of the captive retainers, each one is made up of heavy duty fabric the lace passes through. There’s also a padded bellows tongue which is comfortable and protects but isn’t overly stiff.

The Tundra’s outer is made up of 900 D coated heavyweight Cordura. The design overlays panels of the same material onto the base layer of the material that makes up the boot so the entire mid section is double strength, while the instep is a single layer affording freedom of movement as you walk. So where you need the main support on a boot such as this it’s doubled, with an extra panel of 900D Cordura to give added protection, yet with another added bonus it also allows it to be light in weight.

The sole is full rubber with a well designed and structured cleat layout with a useful toe rise where it meets the extra strengthening given by the generous outer rubber toe cover. Closer inspection shows that the English Oak camo pattern actually reaches down to cover the rubber rand right down to show the slightest side view of outsole. 200g of Thinsulate insulation is used for warmth and a HydroGuard membrane make the boots to be fully waterproof and breathable.

There does seem to be a trend now for camo boots so yet again are we in part following our American counterparts? In this respect I’d say no as they fit in perfectly with everything JP do in clothing for the hunter in this pattern – in fact I reckon they’ll be so popular they’ll need to bring them out in English Woodland too!
