Search and Rescue Standard

By don bowie Ranked #11 - Men's Mountaineering Boots October 17, 2008

About 3/4 of my Search and Rescue team colleagues have Trangos. They are light, comfortable hikers, yet have the support for moderate crampon work and high angled environs. The seem to excel on moderate rock and scrambling, making them a great boot for the mountain rescue application. The Trango S are not insulated, so extended periods in snow my result in cold feet. These boots are constructed with cutting edge design and materials for unparalleled weight and performance, so they're a bit vulnerable to wear and tear. If you're looking for more durability, I suggest the Glacier or Glacier Evo, but if you're looking for performance, look no further.
