Has anyone compared these boots with the La Sportiva Glacier? Is the main difference that these are waterproof? I'm trying to decide between these boots, so would love any input on how they compare to one another.Thanks!

Depending on usage, the Trango is more of a GTX mountaineering/climbing boot designed for moving fast over technical terrain. The Glacier is suitable for mountaineering, difficult hiking on rugged terrain, snowfields and glacier travel. It also uses a "Dri-Lex" lining as compared to GTX. To add to that, they are quite different boots, I have owned both. The trango is way lighter and more nimble, it also climbs technical rock way better. The glacier is more of an easy mountaineering/heavy backpacking boot. It is heavier and way less nimble.
