Időközben elkelt a kis bakancsom, remélem felhág még pár havas bércre bakancs-életében.
Mountaineering Footwear) (Trekking Peak trips only): For modern day climbers, plastic boots are now
standard equipment. They are lighter in weight, warmer and more waterproof than leather mountain boots.
Also, you can sleep in the removable inner boots to ensure warm toes in the morning! Climbing and trekking
at altitudes of up to 6000 meters/20,000 feet, the temperatures can be very cold indeed (as low as minus 10
degrees), and leather boots are really not suitable for these cold conditions. Plastic boots are also designed
to take step-in crampons, quickly and efficiently, and this combination of plastic boots and step-in
crampons is by far the most sensible option when considering a trekking peak climb. Asolo and Koflach
are examples of excellent plastic boot manufacturers, and each of these companies make models of
plastic boots which have been designed primarily as winter walking boots. Recommended - Asolo Supersoft
and Koflach Viva Soft.
