GUYS!
It has officially been a year since my last gear review.... WHAT IS UP?
As a runner, cyclist, skier, all around outdoor enthusiast AND Salomon brand Ambassador you'd think that I would have a few more of these under my belt by now.
As someone who enjoys to write, I am your everyday wannabe blogger. The key word there is "wannabe".
But enough about me, let's talk about the goods.
It has been FRIG-ID here on the West Coast of NL this past week with temperatures reaching in the -30's with windchill.
Today it was approximately -18 which meant that an XC ski was in order ( that is still freezing I know!). As someone who suffers from Raynaud's, winter is not always on my side BUT these boots are!

The Salomon RC8 Vitane Prolink Nordic Ski Boot.
Designed entirely for women are as the description states "Cloud- Like".
I LOVE these boots.
Built for warmth with Thinsulate lining these boots will make your longest ski's on the coldest days SO enjoyable.
They have an amazing heel hold and stunning forefoot flex.
When I say heel hold, I mean they have heel hold. These boots also come with an amazing feature and thats an adjustable heel strap. Perfectly placed so these boots will hold your heel in place.
Not to mention they are SUPER lightweight, weighing only .75 of a Kilogram. That's not even 2 pounds!!

In addition to all of the fantabulous features i've listed above they also have a lace cover and diagonal zipper. This too maximizes comfort and helps to keep cold out.
Out of all the features this boot has, the quick lacing system is probably my favourite. These boots are easy to get on and quick to take off. If you get back to the lodge and are hanging out for a snack, just loosen your lacing system for an even more comfortable fit.
and incase you have forgotten, THEY ARE SO WARM!
Now, Let's talk about price point.
These boots retail for about $175-$200 depending on which supplier or store you shop at and whether you pay $175 plus HST or $200 plus HST these boots are worth every penny.
Compatible with Prolink®, NNN® and Turnamic® bindings.
