Garmont Mega Ride G-Fit Alpine Touring Boot - Men's
Garmont Mega Ride

Ranked #289 - Alpine Touring Boots
March 29, 2006
For the most part, these boots are what I was expecting. A fit similar to my Adrenalines, but much more comfortable to tour in. Somewhat surprisingly, the boot becomes reasonably rigid when fully buckled with the power strap fastened.
I also have the same complaint with the Mega Rides as the Adrenalines, namely the rivets used to attach the buckle strap to the boot suffers significant damage from the ski edge. It would appear that Garmont chose a soft alloy like aluminum. I've emailed Garmont asking for advice on how to handle, but in the meantime I've covered the rivet head with a small patch of Kevlar.
