G5 - Mountaineering boots

Description

La Sportiva have developed the future of mountaineering and it has never been more comfortable! The G5 Mountaineering boot from La Sportiva is super light and warm, waterproof and with an integrated gaiter. However the first thing you notice when you put it on is how comfortable it is. Mountaineering boots are traditionally clunky and stiff around the ankle however La Sportiva have managed to make the ankle flex on the G5 perfectly soft while still giving support. The BOA dial-in lacing system also works an absolute charm not only to get instant even tension over your foot, but also to adjust while wearing gloves. 

This boot is perfect for those looking for something a little warmer than a leather boot but still want the lightness and dexterity of a single boot. Perfect for New Zealand Winters, Nepal peaks up to around 6500m, Canada, Patagonia and colder Europe climbs.

Here's what La Sportiva have to say...

Ultra technical, waterproof boot for high altitude mountaineering and for working outdoors in cold temperatures. Quick and easy to fit, it features quick-drying materials. The rear flex zone facilitates walking on all types of terrain, even on uneven terrain. The weather protection is maximized thanks to the waterproof Cordura® gaiter with heat sealed zipper and Velcro cover and the inner waterproof membrane. Volume and weight are reduced to a minimum: the protective edge is made of a super lightweight material, PU TechLite™ while the midsole is made from insulating carbon honey-comb tech 3 mm. G5 is the ideal product for prolonged stays in both static and dynamic winter mountain environments and combines the thermal insulation characteristics of a double shell boot to those of lightness and containment of volumes of a single shell boot. Gimme Five, G5.
