Hopefully, the forecast of a strong El Nino this winter for the Pacific Coast will provide an opportunity for more testing of the booties, at which point I will add an update. They are not the warmest booties in my collection, but are warm enough for use in snow and air temperatures down to 10°F or so with a heavy pair of wool socks. They are thin compared to puffy down botties so the insulation better be good :) The materials see durable enough. Whether you're a first-timer or a top athlete, since 2015 we've been sharing with you our love of good gear and our passion for the steep trails we love to run around on. If you are not sure about anything to do with this procedure, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help.

Pertex®’s approach closely matches Montane’s own focus of engineering lightweight, breathable clothing and equipment for endurance sports in extreme environments. WHERE OTHER BOOTIES ARE MAYBE AS WARM, THEY ARE EITHER DOWN WHICH COMPROMISES THEM, OR HAVE BULKY SOLES THAT THAT MAKE THEM HARD TO USE.

In our many years of selling samples, we have found that 99% of them are exactly the same as the finished production version.

The ultra-fine fibres form tiny air pockets that mimic the compressibility of goose down, trap body heat and are breathable, allowing moisture vapor to be transported through and away from the skin. It's got a fleecy lining and a durable Hypalon bottom that provides traction, durability and resistance to moisture and chemicals.Take them with you on expedition in the Himalaya or a multi day adventure in the Scottish Cairngorms. The overall percentage of lower impact materials is to help you to make more informed choices and to draw comparisons between products . The Prism Bootie outer is made from 100% windproof PERTEX® QUANTUM Rip-stop fabric with a superior DWR to keep things dry. To be considered for a refund, the products must not have been worn, other than to try on for size indoors.

Obsessed by product and pioneering fit-for-purpose designs, we have worked with Pertex® since our beginnings in 1993 to create weatherproof garments that allow you to push your boundaries.If, as in Antarctica or the Alaska Range, I have to wait out a storm, having warm booties is soothing and more comfortable. Despite the wet grass brushing against the outer shell during the couple hundred meter walk from our ger to the dining ger, the inside of the booties stayed completely dry.

The sole is made from a tough Hypalon rubber for increased durability and allows you to walk in and out of the tent without having to change your shoes. Unlike some bulky models we’ve tried, these pack down so small and weigh so little there’s no need to justify bringing them. The Fair Wear Foundation is a clothing industry specific, non-profit organization that ensures sustainable, fair and safe labour conditions in factories.

PrimaLoft Gold is an ultra-fine microfibre insulation that is exceptionally warm, soft and lightweight when wet or dry. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs). When I (and most climbers, backpackers, and backcountry skiers) get into camp, I like to shed my trail shoes, approach shoes, or boots and put on a pair of booties. This allows my feet to rest from the beating they take from the approach (no matter how comfortable the approach footwear is), and in winter, to stay comfortably warm.
