Jim Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Finally wore out the old T2s and looking for something new. God those new boots look beefy. I'm looking for something versatile; day tours at Rainer, long days in the spring in the Cascades with some hiking, and a 6 day Sierra traverse this spring. Suggestions? Thanks. Currently have BD Crossbows as my all-around but also looking for some phat boards for pow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckC Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 How about the Scarpa T2 Ecos or whatever they are called? They look similar to the T2s. Feathered Friends had a bunch of demo Garmonts on sale a week or so ago that you might check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidahites Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have a pair of Scarpa Matrix for sale. Used maybe 6 times, then trashed my knee (not using the boots though). I believe they are size 27.5 Mondo http://www.backcountry.com/scarpa-matrix-at-boots-mens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 That doesn't look like a tele boot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That doesn't look like a tele boot to me. No, that would be an Dynafit compatible AT boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I retired a pair of Crispi CXAs last year and tried on a pair of T2 Ecos and BD Seekers. I have a midwide foot and the Ecos seemed a bit sloppy. Got the BDs and after cooking the liners, I have really enjoyed the step up from the CXAs in performance, all day comfort, and lighter weight. I ski them with World Pistes and Works Stinx and they can drive the midfat really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks Scott. Likely headed that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Parker Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you are shopping used or demo boots, the Garmont Synergy is not too beefy but I can still steer my fat K2 Anti Pistes with 'em. Time tested good boot....but the best boot is the one that fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you make the switch to NTN, you can get a $100 rebate when you by a pair of Scarpa, Garmont or Crispi boots and new bindings before January 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Oh, that's getting awfully close to the devil of a downhill binding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-rock Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Current T1's are not much heavier (if at all) than the old T-2's, depending on the year you have. They have a walk mode, and aside from really long traverses are suitable for touring. Plus they make a great resort boot if you plan to ride the lifts once in a while. Mountain gear has the last of the '09's on sale right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'll try a pair on, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 After more yaking and trying things on I went with: K2 Coombacks BD Push 22 Designs Axl Trial report coming soon. Thanks again for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
