Discovering XTRATUF
INTRODUCITON
Meet Jade & Scott, founders of Helm Wind Outdoor Skincare based in the Lake District. Jade and Scott discovered XTRATUF on their honeymoon in Alaska and couldn’t believe their luck when they spotted XTRATUF on UK shores!
I hadn’t heard of XTRATUF until 2019 when my husband and I went to Alaska on our honeymoon (which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who loves wildlife, dramatic landscapes and friendly folk).

This is me (Jade) and my husband (Scott) hiking Kachemak Bay.
Whilst in Alaska, we noticed that absolutely everyone was wearing these ‘brown wellies’, from the fishermen coming off the boats to people kicking back wearing them in the bars, styling them with a pair of jeans and a checked shirt. - In fact, it was more unusual to see an Alaskan in trainers than in XTRATUFs.
We thought they were brill (and a great memento from our trip) so Scott ended up buying a pair to bring home with us.
At the airport on the way home we stumbled upon the book ‘The Salmon Princess – An Alaskan Cinderella Story’
