All great feedback thank you. I know the plastics comment was a bit off hand just knowing that the double leathers are really coming on strong. Im becoming convinced that doubles of some kind are probably the way to go. Any one have any ideas for finding cheap used Invernos or similar? Really thanks for the feedback. As for the Trangos in Ecuador.....good thought for some of the lower spots for sure...Ive got those too....and it looks like now Ill have three pairs of boots!

I am planning a trip to South America at the end of Nov through Dec. We will be on a few routes in Ecuador and then heading to Argentina to attempt to Aconcagua. Im trying to figure out the boot situation. Right now, the warmest boots I own, and love, are the La Sportiva Nepal EVOs. Ive seen recommendations for plastic double boots, but, who really wears plastic anymore? Im curious if anyone can recommend a tried and true method of ramping up the cold weather rating on the EVOs…super gaitors? Overboots? Am I crazy to think I can get away with the Nepals? Any and all feedback is welcome! Thanks!
