Chriznitch Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 anyone tried these yet? I am looking for a versatile boot warm enough for Rainier-type conditions. They are much lighter than the Nepal Evo's (3lbs 12 oz vs. 4lbs 9oz) Quote
kweb Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I wear the Trango S EVO GTX Boots which are very similar to the Extremes minus any insulation. Have worn them twice up Rainier. Have to wiggle my toes for 50% of the ascent to keep em warm. They feel light as a feather and are great on rock scrambles. If the Extremes where avaliable when I bought the S EVO's, I would have bought them instead. Quote
sweatinoutliquor Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Nepal evo ~5lbs Trango extreme evo light <2lbs? Seems too good to be true!? http://www.sportiva.com/products/prod/336 Quote
Chriznitch Posted January 21, 2007 Author Posted January 21, 2007 yeah--that's a typo. They are under 4 lbs, which is pretty good. So, Nate, what do you think of the Evo Ice? Pretty warm? Quote
sweatinoutliquor Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Ice evos are pretty rad... Light and comfy out of the box, but needed to put a new set of footbeds in them (the ones they come with are garbage). I haven't climbed in them under postholing conditions where I could see how warm they would keep me, but I do feel like they would handle any late spring neve climb without being cold! You should check them out if you get a chance... Not as insulated as the nepals, and no gore tex, but I think you would probably like em, especially if you are getting up to CO to hit the ice up a few times a year! Hey, are we going to see a TR from you soon!? Quote
