4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing All Purpose Boot, April 8, 2009

By	Jeffrey Barger (Cincinnati) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Scarpa Kailash is an amazing all purpose mid weight boot, I started checking into them after they received excellent reviews in last year's Backpacker Gear Guide and eventually bought a pair. There was a small bit of hesitancy surrounding this purchase since I rarely buy new boots. I don't have the budget to be dropping a few hundred bucks every season to keep up with the latest trends so durable gear is a must. Thankfully I was not let down and they lived up to the hype, amazingly comfortable right out of the box and incredibly durable they were perfect for general use and mid weight hikes even over longer distances. The Gore-Tex liner does help when it comes to water proofing but if you're going into deep snow or extremely wet conditions (or any kind of mountaineering) you may want to consider stepping up to the Barun which is Scarpa's light weight mountaineering boot and the Kailash cousin. (I should point out the Kailash does dry quickly thanks to its design and holds out 99% of the water; I'm just a little bit obsessive when it comes to that.) So if you're looking for a boot that will take you through three seasons comfortably with a lot of durability and a low price tag then this is the boot for you. I have a pair and have no intention of trading them in anytime soon. I also learned recently that they are going to be this year's boot of the year for Backpacker Magazine yet again, for whatever that matters to you.
