Montane Men's Prism high-top

Product Information

The Prism Booties are a lightweight and packable ‘end of day’ bootie, perfect for popping on your feet when you make it back to your tent, to a bothy or just at home after a hard day in the mountains. When I (and most climbers, backpackers, and backcountry skiers) get into camp, I like to shed my trail shoes, approach shoes, or boots and put on a pair of booties. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs). You don’t really expect a tight or exact fit in a bootie that is intended for relaxing around camp, but you do expect that it will not be so loose that you walk out of them on the one hand, nor do you expect that they will fit tightly and snugly like a sock that is stretchable and your nominal size. Take them with you on expedition in the Himalaya or a multi day adventure in the Scottish Cairngorms.

K. weather, Montane and PrimaLoft® work together to produce iconic clothing and equipment such as the super versatile Prism Jacket. I only included mention of the failure to include my full experience in testing the booties, not because I believe it to represent actual production quality problem.

USED INTELLIGENTLY, PRIMALOFT BOOTIES KEEP YOUR FEET IN GOOD CONDITION LONGER AND MINIMIZE THE OLD PROBLEM OF WAKING WITH COLD FEET, SOMETHING PREVALENT WHEN NOT USING BOTTLED OXYGEN. During our last few days in Mongolia, we stayed at a ger (aka yurt – the typical Mongolian dwelling) camp, the grass was very wet from the night’s thunderstorm and heavy dew in the morning for the walk to the dining ger, giving a good test of the water repellency of the Pertex shell.

Engineered to provide insulation for the worst cold and wet weather conditions possible and the ‘go-to’ choice for adventurers looking for protection in extreme conditions. Lightweight, but comfortable, foot covering for use in and around camp is a very desirable thing to have after a day of hiking or climbing, as well as waiting out a storm in the tent. Designed to be a durable high top boot style slipper with a non-slip sole designed for use in mountain huts, bothies, camping or out in your van.Offering ultimate warmth to weight, this mid and high loft insulation is coupled with incredible packability and softness.
