In reply to Tricadam:
read. good stuff in there. I especially like the boots in carrier bag before putting through waterproof trousers.
I haave 3/4 length zip and size 47 boots so are a but cumbersome.
Also if using crampons, is it practical to remove them, put on waterproof trousers and then put crampons back on?
I am worried i could tear the trousers otherwise.
They use the step in system? with a metal bar at the front for a toe welt.
Also is a front bail like a basket for the boot an advantage over a step-in crampon in any cases?
