Mountain Hardwear FTX Ventigaiter description

The Mountain Hardwear FTX Ventigaiter features Mountain Hardwear's patented roll-back upper panel, which zips open revealing a mesh vent. VELCRO keeps the panel secure when open, so you can concentrate on ice problems and foot placement. This Ventigaiter features an FTX Ultra Gore-Tex upper with crampon tough Duraguard lower, which is designed to take a cold-weather crampon beating. Other FTX Ventigaiter features include a front closure and a drawcord upper cinch.

Bottom Line: Crampons are brutal, and so are winter high alpine conditionsthe Mountain Hardwear FTX Ventigaiter is designed to withstand both while keeping you dry and comfortable.


Took 'em ice climbing

I ordered a size down based on the review by Minimag. I bought a Medium for a shoe size of 9.5 and they barely fit over my Vasque Super Alpinistas. However, they fit well over my regular hiking boots. Over the course of a weekend, my crampons poked a small hole in the Gore-Tex upper while climbing. They also tore a 2-inch hole through the lower when I slipped on the trail (the crampons went through the lower pretty easily). However, my pants underneath were not torn so I'm happy about that :)

The Mountain Hardwear FTX Ventigaiters are as described, tough and very practical. The cost is a little high but the quality eases the pain. I would highly recommend these for the moderate to light extreme hiker.
