Scarpa T2 Eco Telemark Boot

Scarpa T2 Eco Telemark Boot

Rating for this product: 4 June 1, 2010

Just picked these up for a sweet price at Mammoth Mountaineering (40% off - can't beat it!). I have very wide feet with pronounced bunions, and while the conventional wisdom is that Black Diamond and Garmont boots are wider, I found these T2 Eco's to fit the best. The moldable liner is a big plus as well.

I had one day of area skiing and two days of backcountry in the boots and was amazed at how comfortable they are. Whether skinning, boot-packing or making turns, I had no hot spots, no pain, no hassle. They are nice and light for touring while burly enough for most situations coming down.

My only issues are with:

1) the bolts coming loose, which I experienced on day three and now realize from reading these comments is a common problem.

and 2) the boot flexion at the bellows. Perhaps I still need to break them in, but I felt I was having a tough time keeping the ball of my foot down on the binding plate of my rear ski in a tele turn. Could be my lazy form, but I found that even when I was concentrating I appeared to mainly be on my tippy toes. Anyone else have this issue?

Osprey Packs Stratos 24 Backpack - 1300-1700cu in

February 27, 2010

I'm a fan of this pack but I find that it's not that comfortable to wear biking. The frame construction, which allows for that great airspace, also tends to jut up into the back of my neck when in a biking position. I recommend you try it out in the store and sit on a bench (or better yet a bike) to see how it feels.
