piscomac Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Looking for a pair of Winter Mountaineering/Alpine boots that can withstand anything from slogging in the Lower 48 to South American high altitude stuff. Currently, I own a pair of Scarpa Freney XT's and while their great, the insulation is poor. I live in Minnesota, am climbing Mt. Hood this January, and need something warmer. Please help! What do you all recommend. I'm looking to spend less than $500. I've looked at a few options and would love your feedback/suggestions. Do they make Koflach's anymore? La Sportiva Neputse La Sportiva Nepal EVO's ??? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chase986 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Scarpa omegas without a doubt. Great in wet/cold weather and are extremely comfortable and easy to climb in. There really versatile as well, I use them for vertical ice climbing as well as mountaineering. There also right around $500 and itll be the best boot you ever buy. Very similar to the invernos but there noticeably lighter and the myth is that their not quite as warm, but scarpa also carries a high altitude inner booty if your really worried about it, but they are plety warm for any advenure ive been on, check em out.

Chad_A Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Might want to look around for the Omega's predecessor, the Alpha. Good boot for what they are; just don't expect the thermo liners to be durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
