Does anyone have any experience with the 285s? They look to be what I have been searching for, and I am trying to decide between them and the new Golite Sun Runners which should be out soon. Any information would be appreciated!

I am using some Roclite 315 weighting... 295gms/p, so near to the Roclite 285 weight, and it is a true pleasure to hike with.
Your feets feel so light that you almost want to run with...
There are a little slippery on wet ground (tree trunk, rocks), so would not recommand them on too rocky ground.

Overall a winner, you won't be disappointed!

I have a pair of the 285's, but I have only worn them around the house and on a couple short hikes so far. I like them a lot, they are very light and comfortable. Can't wait to really try them out this spring.
