Particularly when you have to join 30 other participants who have to cover
approximately 85 kms in 60 hours, as part of a seven day trip to the top
of Kilimanjaro.

A demanding, 4100m (13500 ft) ascent, over generally rough terrain,
arriving on the summit to a breezy, -14 degree welcome is just what
brasher fan David Bennett, of Bennett Safetywear did early this year, when
he raised £3,500 for Oxfam by taking on Kilimanjaro.
Accompanied by walking pal, Ad Rooijakkers, an ex-PSV football playing,
ex-Dutch marine, (we're are not making this up), they were shod in brasher
Trailmaster GTX's.
As David recalled:
"The Brasher boots were fantastic- not a single blister or even
the slightest red mark on either of us! And at the summit where the
temperature was about -14C my feet were a lot warmer than my hands!."
You can see a little more about David's trip here.

Apologies David this seemed like the easiest way to join in with the chat about Trailmasters and Kili - hope you had a good a time as we did.
Did you use the Rongai route? looks very like the view we saw from Mawenzi.
So I thought I would just drop everyone at Brasher a quick note to say how pleased I have been with my Trailmasters. I recently summited Kilimanjaro in them. They performed brilliantly in the wide range of conditions both terrain and temperature on the mountain. Needless to say they are a bit battered but still look like they will look after me for a good few years yet. A great product. Regards Mark
