Meg Cooke's review

Yes, I often wear a full carbon race boot in the backcountry (especially in the spring). Why? Firstly, because it's stiff, and it's actually really comfortable. Secondly, in the spring time is a big factor. Having a super light boot means moving faster, more objectives ticked off and tbh keeping up with the guys more easily.
