Can you pls compare to the North Face Ice Storm 400 Boa. How significant is the "laceless" system...is it a big benefit??How waterproof are these boots really with the mesh on the outside??

The only noticeable difference between these two pairs of boots is the lacing system. If you like the convenience of just slipping your boots on and spending maybe 10 seconds tightening the cable, the Boa lacing system is for you. However, if you're worried about it failing (which has a very, very low probability), go with the traditional laces that could easily be fixed in the field. Also, with regard to waterproofing, that is all coming from the Gore-Tex lining...so as long as the Gore-Tex remains in good condition, you're all set.
