slow 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think I need new boots this winter, my boots are almost 7years old now... I was researching and am interested in GARMONT XENA, which has two sets of soles ski mountaineering soles and ISO Alpine soles. anyone here using Garmont boots? Are they good?

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ive been thinking about some Garmonts too Slow.Will try some on when I find em...prolly at Rappies. My boots are about as old as yours but prolly stink a lot worse Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I hope they at in residence at FTs, cos they are NOT coming in the car with us up to Hakuba Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 EVERYTHING is at FF's place mate. Once my new bindings show up Ill be sending him my Toons as well. Just bringing up that box of Sake you sent me Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Looks like i inadvetedly bought myself a new board. Some kid on another snowboard website in canada wanted a 4-season old k2 Travis Parker, and i happened to see one at the local shop on sale for 2 man. I got it for him, but when it came to shipping charges (we were looking at 27000 yen)he got cold feet and decided to quit, leaving me with the board. I wasn't planning on getting a new board, and it is a tiny bit shorter than i normally ride (a 154), but damn, it says "Wild Style" on the base in hot green letters, so i might just keep it and use it on the groomers.

sock_monkey 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Slow, the interchangeable sole is great. I have the Adrenalins and love 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 the board is sick, and there are almost zero topsheet graphics, so i am looking forward to the crazy stickers Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Im looking at those SM. Reports look excellent. Like the walking mode and the interchangeable sole too. 8 man worth eh? Have em for 8 years 1 man a year isnt bad... Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 8 man! ouch. i got mine for 65000, steep but worth it. the breakdown is more since your sure to need to replace the liners at least once in 8 yrs of use happy feet are key, and if you want to enjoy touring at all, trust me, any AT boot with vibram and walk mode will be a miles ahead of an alpine boot.

Fattwins 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Id love the new garmonts! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 they might be a little bit cheaper...wait, maybe Im thinking of the newest model they have out that I saw in F.L. Anyways, still a bit expensive but as you say quite worth it. My Lange's weigh about 5kilos each it seems like and are a pain traversing and skinning. Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 the new ones are the Endorphin and yes they would be 8 man. Not sure if its worth the extra price over the Adrenalin, but I haven't tried them. i know they weigh a bit more and are stiffer. What model Lange are you in now? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 SM, thats right mate. Thanks Im in the Banchees 120 (5). Stiff downhill boot. I bet Rappie'd have the Adrenalin's for about 6man or so as well as his prices are similar to states. Link to post Share on other sites
