Montane Men's Prism high-top

Product Information

Invest in some warm Prism ankle booties style slippers providing warmth and comfort at home, in the camper van or in your tent. If you are not sure about anything to do with this procedure, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help. They are thin compared to puffy down botties so the insulation better be good :) The materials see durable enough. The following photo shows that the bottom of the sole is dependent on the Hypalon “sticky rubber” composing the sole. When I (and most climbers, backpackers, and backcountry skiers) get into camp, I like to shed my trail shoes, approach shoes, or boots and put on a pair of booties.

The Hypalon panel on the sole of the sock ensures that the Prism Bootie stands up to some pretty rough treatment around the hut. Since there was enough insulation to keep my feet somewhat cool (vs taking the booties off and finding the hot stone sent me scurrying for the shaded part of the stonework quickly — unusual for someone who occasionally walks on coals), I concluded that the booties would pass the snow-walk test. WHERE OTHER BOOTIES ARE MAYBE AS WARM, THEY ARE EITHER DOWN WHICH COMPROMISES THEM, OR HAVE BULKY SOLES THAT THAT MAKE THEM HARD TO USE.Sample products are made as a representation of the finished product and are usually only made in one or two sizes.

PrimaLoft® GOLD Insulation with Grip in the inner sole panel provides better stability and prevents insulation slipping. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs).At this point, although finding the soles to provide a good grip on the sandstone and the quartzite, I was suspicious of the gripping on slick surfaces. Some have been quite warm (in one case, as warm as my double climbing boots), while others were warm enough only when around the fireplace in a cabin. If, as in Antarctica or the Alaska Range, I have to wait out a storm, having warm booties is soothing and more comfortable.

The overall percentage of lower impact materials is to help you to make more informed choices and to draw comparisons between products . People say they are a bit tight to get on,I didn't find that to be the case,I have quite slim ankles though. Microfibres trap body heat, making PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation the most thermally efficient synthetic insulation on the market. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and to being transparent with consumers, to give you confidence about the origin of your Montane products.A long-established heritage of staying true to its British roots has led Pertex® on a path of continuous innovation to deliver the best end-use focused fabrics in the business.

The fit and finish is really good, and the best thing about them is that the material selection allows your feet to breathe a bit, I had a couple of pairs by Northface and because of the way they assemble them, they coated the backside of the fabrics with a layer of PU which may have made them a bit waterproof, but unfortunately they become a non-permeable membrane and sweat bath. You don’t really expect a tight or exact fit in a bootie that is intended for relaxing around camp, but you do expect that it will not be so loose that you walk out of them on the one hand, nor do you expect that they will fit tightly and snugly like a sock that is stretchable and your nominal size. Our hut slippers are perfect addition to your kit when camping adding luxury and warmth to your stay. USED INTELLIGENTLY, PRIMALOFT BOOTIES KEEP YOUR FEET IN GOOD CONDITION LONGER AND MINIMIZE THE OLD PROBLEM OF WAKING WITH COLD FEET, SOMETHING PREVALENT WHEN NOT USING BOTTLED OXYGEN.

And, of course, since we did not wear our boots inside the ger, the booties provided comfortable foot cover. I only included mention of the failure to include my full experience in testing the booties, not because I believe it to represent actual production quality problem.
