Alternative to Specialised Pathfinder Sport 700x38c Tyre

I have currently on my Specialized Diverge the Specialized Pathfinder Sport 700x38c tyres, which I am very happy with but would like to have a spare as embarking on LEJoG. However, in the UK they have been super seeded by the Pathfinder Sport Reflect but it would seem these are impossible to get in the UK at the moment for 38mm size. What is a good alternative to these tyres that I can be confident in the event of significant tyre cut?

I find Bontranger Gironas to be very similar. This one is 38mm

You should take a look at Tufo Thundero, they are great!

+1 Thunderos, HD version for extra protection. I’ve had 40s and my current 48s, both roll very nicely.

The Hutchinson Caracal tests crazy fast in the 40, I built a bike with them the other day and test rode them, on pavement felt like a road tire. My coworker is running a set of the 45s on his gravel bike and says they grab well enough in corners on dirt (being compared to Pathfinders and G-One RSs). Could be a good move

Thanks for all the guidance will look into the options - thanks again
