I am not even sure how old this model is but has any one had a pair for several seasons that could give me an estimate on life span? I am a little hesitant to go with a predominately synthetic upper. Also does any one know if temperature is an issue in regards to flexibility?

Thanks,
Jon Maret

They have been out for a year or two. I have the model before it and they are still kicking it. Sportiva makes a good durable boot. I wouldn't wear these down to really cold temps as they are not the warmest boot in the world but good for moderate ice climbing temps. Below about 10-15 F I think they might get a little cold. Flexibility should not be a problem at any temp.
