This all new model is the current state of the art - and is the lightest high mountain boot by over a pound! The amazingly light (225 g) inner boot is formed from water repellant and breathable micro-perforated foam backed by pile insulation and lined with tri-dimensional polyester knit.
The new model has very contained external volume, for being an insulated double boot for high elevation, and with its weight 15% less than the previous version it becomes the lightest boot of its category.
Removable foot bed can be replaced with your choice of aftermarket foot bed - including custom orthodics or the popular HOTRONICS for "over the top" warmth.
There is also a strip of reflective tape on the backstay (so you can easily locate them for pre-dawn starts) and a fast and easy speed lace system with secure velcro tab that can be "one handed".
The 1105 g outer boot sports a breathable Cordura gaiter w/ Kevlar reinforcements and XSV climbing rubber rands backed by insulating foam and a waterproof Riri Storm Zipper. The outer boots structure is crafted from Cordura with dual-density closed cell PE thermal insulating foam lined with thermo-reflective aluminum facing. This combination is extremely warm, fast drying and conforms to your foot well - so you can really climb hard (really)!
The OLYMPUS MONS EVO sole is made from a brand new special low density Insulating Vibram with climbing rubber toe inserts and is backed by a HP3 midsole - which will accept most popular crampons. Inside a carbon fiber stiffner and 2.5 mm of PE thermo insulating micro foam with reflective aluminum facing contribute to your warmth and lightness of step.
Price Range - $825 - $850

My Favorite BootFor me I would like the top of the boot to be a bit higher. At the hight it is I feel like a cuts in a bit. Tightening up the boot a bit usually solves this feeling though.
After spending 8 hours straight in the boot snow shoeing and having climbed ice in it I can say I would buy this boot again. Now I just have to take these babies where they belone - high altitude.
(Note: Even though I got these boots at half price they are still insanely expensive.)
