Hey Lambone--what up? Just had that "all-synthetic upper" thing in mind and got thrown for a loop when I discovered that they're not... I tend to agree with you on the likelyhood of the velcro/gaitor crap not making the long haul. If I had to guess, I'd say that I'll end up with a pair of the Extreme S; just figured I'd fish around for some opinions. So, who's Pro Mountain Sports? Is that a shop out your way or is that Purdy's group? Don't worry about the woody collecting dust: I'm on the case (and getting those leashless tools sussed out to boot--think Cooke). Things are looking good on this end; we're getting stacks of moisture and cold, with nice sunny days in between. I'm hitting the Beehive this week and the Sphinx this weekend--should be tits. When's your first trip back here?

I've had a pair of Trango Extremes for a few years now and they're about beat. I was prettty set on replacing them with the new version (the Extreme S), but just read the fine print and discovered that they're not entirely synthetic, but use leather as well. I'm kicking around the idea of getting a pair of the Trango Ice, since they are entirely synthetic uppers, but I don't know if I dig on the power strap and built-in gaitor garb. Add to this, the fact that the lasts appear different from my old boots and I'm quite confused. I'll hopefully be able to try out both models this fall at a demo or two, but until then, some opinions would be great. Bear in mind that it will mainly be an ice/mixed boot, but also used for alpine climbing (primarily in the rockies). Thanks

hey, hate to get back on topic, but you could consider these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3626701611&category=30107 They're not mine or anything, so I'm not just spamming you here, but a good tool at a good price. Something to look at. If you're willing to spring some more bucks and want something a bit more versatile at a decent price, check out the Aztars or Rages. cheers
