Montane Men's Prism high-top

Product Information

The next photo shows the stuff sack with both booties stuffed inside with a ruler to show the compact size and tiny amount of space they would take in an ultralight backpack. By way of contrast, the “lost label” booties have a heavy cordura cloth sole (making them more of an in-tent bootie), the 180S has a bolder texture semi-sticky rubber sole (which allows a midnight stroll in the snow), and the Montrail’s outer shell has a nobbly structure reminiscent of miniaturized Vibram lugs (which, along with the waterproof outer shell, allows some wandering around a snowy campsite). Pertex®’s approach closely matches Montane’s own focus of engineering lightweight, breathable clothing and equipment for endurance sports in extreme environments.

If, as in Antarctica or the Alaska Range, I have to wait out a storm, having warm booties is soothing and more comfortable. Take them with you on expedition in the Himalaya or a multi day adventure in the Scottish Cairngorms. The following photo shows that the bottom of the sole is dependent on the Hypalon “sticky rubber” composing the sole. Montane also uses PrimaLoft®’s performance yarn in its Primino range to create supremely comfortable and ultra fast drying baselayers.From your local crag to the summit of Everest, at Tiso, you’ll find the climbing and mountaineering equipment you need. The above information relates only to the product materials, and does not reflect the full life cycle of the product, such as transportation, washing or eventual disposal. OUTSIDE OF SHARP END USE THEY MAKE A NICE CAMP SLIPPER, GOOD FOR LOUNGING AROUND BETWEEN TRIPS UP HIGH (MAYBE BRING 2 PAIRS TO LEAVE ONE STASHED AT A HIGH CAMP) AND ACTUALLY FIT OK INSIDE YOUR OUTER SHELLS FOR SHORT TRIPS OUTSIDE.

The Prism Bootie outer is made from 100% windproof PERTEX® QUANTUM Rip-stop fabric with a superior DWR to keep things dry. IT’S VITAL TO GET YOUR LINER BOOTS OFF WHEN YOU CAN, SO THEY CAN DRY OUT AND THE FOAM CAN DECOMPRESS, BUT LAYING ABOUT IN DAMP SOCKS ALONE IS A LEVEL OF EXPOSURE TO BE AVOIDED.

The same was true for the Ice River in Eagle Valley (aka “Yolyn Am), which usually has a large amount of ice year around, home of the “Bearded Eagle”, located in the Gurvan Sayhani nuruu mountains in the south of Mongolia. They don't sag down from my ankles keeping me warm and keeping walking easy but do require a bit more effort to get on over my heals. Over the years, I have acquired and used a number of pairs of camp shoes, slippers, and booties with more or less insulation (down and synthetic), with and without soles that allowed walking on rocky ground, dirt, mud, and snow, and even just used dry socks for sitting in the tent during a storm. Offering ultimate warmth to weight, this mid and high loft insulation is coupled with incredible packability and softness.

The boot is insulated with 160g of Primaloft Gold that keeps your feet warm and dry and is also easily packable, and Grip Control in the inner sole prevents this insulation from slipping to provide better stability and last. A long-established heritage of staying true to its British roots has led Pertex® on a path of continuous innovation to deliver the best end-use focused fabrics in the business. They work directly with brands, factories, trade unions, NGOs and governments to establish a living wage and a working environment that’s free from gender-based violence, discrimination and harassment.

Despite the wet grass brushing against the outer shell during the couple hundred meter walk from our ger to the dining ger, the inside of the booties stayed completely dry.
