The warmest, most durable overboots for the coldest, most unsympathetic places on earth.
A warm, lightweight overboot for extreme cold-weather mountaineering, Brooks Rangers have been on the summits of the most punishing peaks in the world. A waterproof layer of coated 8 oz. packcloth lines the boot section, while 1000D Cordura provides crampon-resistant protection along the inside of the leg and around the lower gaiter. AlpenGrip® provides traction and durability in the sole, toe cap, and lower foot areas. A Schoeller Dynamic Extreme leg section functions as breathable protection over insulated pants. Closed-cell foam insulation around the boot area traps heat and can be used with strap-on crampons or step-in models. Dense Poron foam in the insole prevents cold from passing through the sole of your boot. An instep strap inside the gaiter holds your heel down for a snug fit, and allows the Brooks Ranger to function as a bootie in camp.

The best overboots, bar none.
These are the gold standard in high-altitude cold-weather overboots. Be aware though that they are not immediately compatible with step-in crampons right out of the box. You WILL have to remove the foam and trim it in order for the bails to get proper purchase.
Perfect for randonee skiing
Great overboots. I can fit my scarpa ski boots in them and wear them in my fritschi diamir bindings. Perfect for randonee skiing here in Greenland where it gets really cold.
