User Review: Garmont Epic Karbo GTX
|
Rating: 
Materials: these boots have never seen a cow pretty much all moden synthetic materials
Use: instructing in snow and ice
Break-in Period: none great straigt out of the box
Weight: nice and light
Price Paid: 270 NZD
I'm fortunate enough to have only paid 270 NZD for these boots which are not normally sold in NZ.
I've been using them for about two months now mainly on Mt Ruapheu In NZ north Island. They have been great for ice climbing with an really stiff sole from the carbon fibre shank. Really good for post and pigeon holing in all hardness of snow.
However the cuff has taken a bit of a battering from rubbing on my gaiters and is looking a little frayed. The Vibram sole gives good grip on snow and the Gore-tex liner has lept my feet dry, however the lack of insulation makes for cold toes if stood instructing for any length of time.
The boots take crampons well and the rubber rand shrugs off rocks and crampon points. Impressively stiff nice and light.
But a bit chilly to stand around in.
