CORRECTION FROM FIRST SUBMISSION: After many years in Fabianos used in the Cascades, Coast range, and the High Dez I replaced them with the LaSportiva. I was concerned they would not handle the job. However, the Vermonts are great, simple, tough enough and extremely well made re: workmanship and materials. They are great for high volume foot. I would not recommend them above timberline in the wet stuff and snow but they will do the job in most situations. Water resistance at this time is unknown. A imnor issue is the scree cuff is not snug enough for my use however, but the great sale price over rode the cuff issue. Lowa Scout has a better cuff. I hope The North Face doesn't screw up LaSportiva as it's my understanding NF just bought the company. Buy them!!!
