| | Backpacker Magazine - Asolo Fusion 95 GTX |
 | | All six models in the Fusion line are intended to blend the support of a backpacking boot with the light weight of dayhikers. |
 | | The model we tested, the Fusion 95 GTX, is the sturdiest of this group, featuring a suede and Cordura upper lined with Gore-Tex. Mind you, Asolo doesn't bill the Fusion 95 as a hardcore backpacking boot, but as a mere weekender. |
 | | After testing a number of heavy boots last year and then scrambling with the Fusion 95 on cliffs, scree fields, and firm sidehills, I'd rate the torsional stiffness and ankle support of the Fusion right where it needs to be for full-on backpacking. |
