This comfortable and extra warm back country ski boot has an integrated gaiter with a two-way zipper for enhanced ventilation, making it ideal for use on long, cold trips, as well as in loose snow. The boot is a further developed model of the bestseller Gaiter / BC A/P/S GTX. The new inner boot has a improved heel shape to prevent blisters. The new construction also ensures even better stability during descents.
The boot is winter lined with a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX membrane and has heat-insulating midsole to keep your feet dry and warm. Furthermore, it is reinforced with Kevlar in exposed areas and is suitable in even the most demanding ski trip in the mountains. Extra toe reinforcements protect the leather from sharp ski edges.
Note that certain snow/crust conditions are an extreme strain on the boots materials, and with use under such conditions, increased wear is expected.

Size chart
Place a paper close to the wall and with bare feet place the foot on the paper, with your heel to the wall. Since it is important to stand up straight, preferably have someone help you draw a line in front of the longest toe. Remember to measure both feet as they might not be identical. With a ruler, confirm the measurement in centimeters and add additional space accordingly. For Backcountry, Touring and Expedition add approx. 1.5 cm

Good mono. Perhaps the most breathable gore shoes I own. A trip of a couple of nights in about -20 degrees below zero is the coldest trip so far where these have been used. The toes remained warm, but in my case the limit is getting pretty close. A small minus of the ridiculous flap as an insole. I changed to a better one and it might also improve the thermal properties. However, there were some challenges with the sole. The toe of the shoe is too low and if there is too much thickness in the insole, the toe becomes cramped. In the spring, it was also tested in muddy conditions for a four-day trip. At least in the first winter they held water convincingly.| Overall rating |
High-quality overalls. I have skied small runs about ten times and they have met my expectations. I ended up with these because of the integrated gaiters. I haven't worn them in snow up to my knees yet, but the leg warmers can be tightened very well and the snow hardly gets into the pound. My foot size is usually between 43-44 in shoes and I got the 43s. There is plenty of room for wool socks etc. in addition to normal socks. A few runs in -30'C and the toes stayed warm.
