Madshus Panorama MNT BC (NNN-BC)

— Show original

Good and reliable boots with a working heel! My full-leather BC boots rub easily, no matter how much you get used to them and look for the right size. The protection that goes up high on the shin is also useful. The ankle support is too stiff, and they are somewhat heavy. I've been using them for the second winter now.

High enough for quite snowy conditions. Mono fits narrower feet well.

Otherwise good boots, but after only four uses the upper is really worn out. The fabric is losing color where the plastic ankle support meets it and the part of the boot at the toe that bends when skiing has already broken so quickly.

the most advanced cross-country ski boots I've used (25 years of cross-country skiing experience). The rubber edging on the outside of the leg part of the overalls improves the durability of the overalls, this is a great improvement on earlier models.

Size met expectations. The velcro fastening of the upper part, without the fastening ratchet familiar from the side mono, feels more functional than in the older Glittertind BC model from Madshus.

My previous bibs were Glittertind models of the same brand, but they had the problem that the edges of the bibs broke (at the tail) within three years and their waterproofness disappeared. In this new model, the edges are better reinforced. Well, future winter hiking trips will show how the skis work in practice.

I have had Madhus bc monos before. Back then the number 44 was suitable, now the monos of the same number were way too small. I changed to a size bigger, which were quite tight at first, but took shape after a couple of skis. They feel warm on the feet.

Sturdy backcountry overalls, top product.

Excellent shoes, but they fit over a size smaller than expected! My 12 year old Glittertind shoes, the ones with one ankle wrap band, were size US11.5/EUR46 and roomy to my feet while the Panorama MNT EUR46 state US12.5/29.5cm but were too small, so I had to return them. The EUR47/US13/30.3cm that I had to order instead are the right length. (They are still tight because I could not use them yet but I expect them to become spacier and more flexible like to old ones did.) The insole of the 47 is exactly the same size as my good old 46 Glittertinds. Strangely, the insoles of the Panorama MNT EUR46 have a handwritten 45 on the bottom while the EUR47 have 46 written on them!
