Loon’r’s Sidekick is a boot for the short, cold trips that do not call for a full hiking setup. Featured in GearJunkie’s 23 October emerging-gear roundup, it combines a moulded lower with a lined upper and an uncomplicated cuff strap. The maker’s current page says the black Midnight Disco version ships now.

## A practical split in materials

The important distinction is where the weather protection sits. Loon’r specifies a waterproof, one-piece EVA lower, paired with a synthetic upper described as water-resistant. That is not a claim that the whole boot is waterproof, and it should not be read as one.

The fixed faux-shearling lining gives the Sidekick its winter character. A rip strap at the cuff opens the upper for entry, then closes it around the leg. The official photographs show the same substantial lower wrapping around the toe and heel.

## Check the size, not just the headline weight

The weight changes with size. Loon’r’s table runs from 250 to 346 grams; the 289-gram figure applies specifically to M7/W8\. That makes a size-specific comparison more useful than treating one number as universal.

The maker positions the Sidekick for cold-weather use, but we have not wear-tested it or independently verified a temperature limit. Think winter errands and camp-side convenience rather than a demonstrated substitute for technical footwear.

## Price and availability

The current US price is US$119.95\. Midnight Disco and Moss Pit variants are marked available in the official catalogue checked on 26 October, though this is not a completed checkout or a guarantee of later stock.

The fresh editorial hook is the 23 October coverage and current shipping information, not a verified first-sale date. Malaysian retail availability and landed pricing have not been established.
