Bad construction

By sam Engelstad Ranked #240 - Cross Country Skiing January 9, 2009

The brand new boots are comfortable and warm enough, but the third time out, the power strap snapped at the point where the Velcro ends. On a minor note, the metal loops that hold the front end of the gaiters in place, also came off. The loops´ metal has a small gap, and the metal must have been soft, because as I put on the gaiters, the gap opened and the loops came off the boot. I fixed that by putting on small key rings instead. But the power snap isn´t that easily fixed. My last pair of Alpina lasted for ten years.
