What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the Outpath BC Classic Boot on a wet, snowy trek off the groomed trail and the waterproof gaiter and zipper actually kept the snow out the whole day. The glass fiber cuff gave me real confidence on a few sidehill traverses I wasn't expecting."The Outpath BC Classic Boot from Salomon is built for skiers who treat the groomed trail as the beginning, not the whole story. This is a boot for broken out forest roads and rolling, ungroomed terrain, the glass fiber loaded cuff and 3D Skate chassis delivering heel hold and lateral control that carry real confidence into variable snow. It feels closer to an alpine touring boot than anything built for logging miles in a set track. Underneath the support, the details are doing quiet, important work. A Thinsulate liner with a fleece overlay holds warmth through genuinely cold conditions, while a high adjustable gaiter and waterproof zipper actually keep snow out rather than just slowing it down. Reinforced sides and a toe cap mean this boot is built to be skied hard, ready for whatever breaking trail into the backcountry throws at it.
