I have a pair of Koflach Degre that I love, but was thinking of buying the La Sportiva Spantik for a trip to Bolivia in May. Does anyone know if they are warmer than the Degre or how they perfomed for them compared to the Degree?

The Spantiks are stiffer construction, so they will climb steeper terrain better- and are a little warmer than the Degree. In my experience, the fit is quite different between Koflach and La Sportiva- and as you know, fit is key. Buy a few pairs and wear them inside your house for a day. You might want to consider the La Sportiva Nupste or Baruntse. The Nupste is very warm and will both climb AND slog pretty well.
