Decided to downsize and go 50/50 with Cochise. That leaves me with some boots to offload.

MTN Lab. Like the boot. Just too much ankle room for my LV ankles. 25ish days on shell. 10-15...

Thought I would throw it out here before heading to gear swap. Revamped my boots this year. So got a couple unwanted toys in BZN…

Glad to hear it! That is a perfect sconi rod. How long you out that way?

SFB - Agreed. No bueno for access to public land in general, not just fishing.

Guide - Only been in MT for two years but explored SW MT pretty well. PM if you are planning to head down this way....

Hit a couple shops to slip into some different 27 shell. Most of the fitters give me a “maybe?” On whether a 27 could work, after we did some measuring and shell fitting. ...

Thanks all. Fitter thinks we are close with current shell, so we are band-aiding it while we hunt for the right shell fit in with 27s or narrow throated or race 28s. He echoed your guidance....

Question: when measuring shell fit for the ankle hold, where is most appropriate measurement and how much space should you ideally looking for? Typically in a 28.5 lv (in most brands) I have ~15...

Thanks Brutah. Appreciate the insight.

Not much. other than what they call Smart Routing (maybe Garmin has this). I spend a lot of time in and around spotty cell coverage. The Somewear uses the available on grid connection if...

FWIW. My vote is for Somewear vs. mini. Garmin is the obvious dominant player and if you use other Garmin products and just want as small as possible...go mini. But I have had a chance to look...

Brutah - do you think this was this due to the 4mm of horizontal travel in the heel? Wondering if it’s the travel or the flex in the alpinist heel tower?

Thanks Riff. Understood. I appreciate the insights (and the disclaimer). My question was around u-spring binders in general, so the response was inline.

Picked these up in a ski trade/buy. Never skied them. Seller said 35ish days, this seems about right. Outside of the wear marks on the risers, they look to be in great shape.

I had a...

Did a search, couldn’t find much on this.

Picked up an Alpinist earlier this year to lighten up a setup.

Thanks DM. The MTN LAB came before the Mach. They sat on the shelf for a few years when I moved and took some time off touring. Moved back to the mountains and looking to get back into touring. ...

Been on the struggle bus with some MTN Labs for awhile now. Fit (vague ankle) and flex...just can’t get confident on them. 28.5.

Thanks Immortal. That was my assumption. Thanks for the confirmation.

Dealing with the same issue. Left a couple voice messages an an email. The recording said to make a reservation before coming to the hill, so I am unclear if I should wait for a response or just...

Stepped up and coordinating.

Considering ZGTP as replacement to MTN LAB that I am giving up on, I have lv ankle and given MTN ankle room and what I find to be a strange flex pattern, I cannot get comfortable/confident in MTN. ...

Interested. PM incoming.

I have struggled with delta on some pin bindings and same sensation. If you are doing a remount for +2, maybe with inserts and play around with toe shims? Others might chime in with ideas on how to...

Got a friend looking to go on some tours this season. New to it. Thought this might be a quick way for her to at least get exposed to it before investing.

Might just remount with a frame...

FWIW...I found the Mach LV to be lower volume over the instep as well. Solved by grinding boot board and removing elastic/vinyl from liner.

That looks like a fun time. I need to make my way up there. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear it happened again but glad you found another pair to move him into.

Solid boot. If it fits well, I am sure it will work!

Love these boots but have had to mod the liner/boot/board a bit to make work (racey fit and some spurs and boney bits needed to be worked around).

Had to mod the liner a ton but through trial...

Unfortunately I had to replace a couple pairs of the earlier generation. Boots would fail on the lower shell by the walk mode. You could only see it by pulling the liner and shining a flashlight...
