How to use

To use the boots, ensure the internal Fast Lock System is adjusted to your foot volume for a secure fit. The external YKK zipper should be fully closed to maintain the waterproof integrity of the gaiter. When using crampons, ensure they are correctly fitted to the sole's attachment points. The removable liner can be worn independently inside a tent or at base camp for added comfort and warmth.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the size is appropriate for use with thick mountaineering socks.
• Ensure compatibility with your specific automatic crampon model.
• Consider the intended altitude and temperature range of your expeditions.
• Note that the boots are resoleable at authorized centers to extend their lifespan.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the exterior gaiter and check the YKK zipper for debris to ensure smooth operation. After use, remove the inner liner to allow it to dry completely, which helps maintain the effectiveness of the insulation materials and prevents moisture buildup.
