Dude! BTDT...for 2 seasons. A new paint job and a new zipper don't make it a new boot Other than that same boot, love 'em or hate 'um. Me? Not one of my favorites and for the record I really liked the older "tweety bird" look.

 

My boots on the crux chimney on Pineapple Express/Blue Moon, winter 08/09.

A little offtopic ... but any opinions on the LS Trango Prime ??

 

It looks to be the only techy,light,insulated boot LS offers in a sz37 ...

[Dane]

The entire Trango series are good boots if they fit your feet. Prime was a little wide for me.

 

Prime was hashed out a bit several times when they first came out. Prime is a good lwt all around mtn boot. For that I use the Trango Evo..the red boot. It is cheaper and easier on the feet. Need more? I use the Trango Extreme Evo for that.
