La Sportiva Trango S EVO Mountaineering Boot
La Sportiva Trango S EVO'About 3/4 of my SAR team colleagues have a pair of these. The Trango S EVO's are light, comfortable hikers, yet have the support for moderate crampon work and high angled environs. They seem to excel on moderate rock and scrambling, making them an great boot for the mountain rescue application. The Trango S are not insulated, so extended periods in snow my result in cold feet. These boots are made with cutting edge design and materials for unparalleled weight and performance, making them a little vulnerable to wear and tear. I usually burn through a pair in a year, but the Trango S performance is worth it.

Don uses for: Three season rescue work, especially on high angle terrain and moderate rock.

Weight: 2lb 10oz /Pair
