I like'em

Used these in snow last week in the high sierra mountains and they performed flawlessly. The heavy denier on the inside of the leg did a great job of protecting against nicks from crampons, not even a mark from all the crampon spike rubs throughout the day. My leg punched through some soft snow all the way down to my waist and no snow penetrated. Hooked up real tight an secure with a pair of backpacking boots, I never had to readjust. Even glissading down the mountain in sloppy wet snow nothing got in. The strap around the arch held up without a scratch even with a lot of waking around on sharp rocks.
I'm 5'11" and wear a size 10 boot, have thick strong calves and a Large fits perfect.
