Untitled ReviewThey ROCK for french technique, and make descend steep ice/snow a breeze, as the ankle flex is teriffic. They stayed dry after 4 days on glacier, it was only after a all day downpoar descending in mud and slush that my feet sarted to get wet. They are said to be waterproof, but since I'm in the cascaded I'm going to add a second part waterproofing agent.
Now that I have these my plastics are only coming out when it gets really, really cold.
