Pros:
Good Value, High Quality, Warmth
Best Uses:
Light weight backcountry, Moderate hiking
I took a new pair of the XCD Traverse boots out of the box and used them on a 20 mile trip that included all types of skiing - trail breaking, steep uphill, 3000' of downhill, plus a few miles of trail walking and was totally pleased. The other members of my party used stiff plastic boots and had to carry a second pair of boots for the hiking at the bottom of our run. If your looking for one boot that can handle a mix of uses then this is a great solution.
