[QUOTE="mtntrapper1, post: 700477, member: 47396"] BearDog, Good points, I have used Meindl, La-Sportivas also in the past, just prefer Scarpa's as tougher overall and fit "for Me". I have a buddy that just returned from a great Alaska archery Moose hunt. He and all the guides were wearing Scarpa's. My last pair lasted almost 8 years, that's a record for me. I tear up most normal boots in 2 to 3 seasons, and Scarpa's are bombproof, very waterproof, and if you need tougher and lighter, for snow and steep rock, ice and snow, their Koflach plastic line is unbelievably tough, warm, light and comfortable. I have an old pair that is still going after 20 years and one resoling. I use Berghaus rubber rand gaiters on them also in snow and wet conditions/ stream crossings. they are waterproof to the height of the gaiters that way, if you fit tight on your upper calf below the knee and waterproof pants, you can go fast even up to your knees and stay dry. Its an old Mountaineering method that works great in hunting applications. [/QUOTE]
