The Asolo Eiger XT Evo GV is our favorite mountaineering boot and takes home the Editors' Choice Award. Their impressively low weight is the first thing we noticed. They climb really well, whether you're on rock, ice, snow, or any combination of the above. Though the laces are simple, we wish there was a lace lock to attenuate the tension. We found this boot to be plenty warm for us, but climbers with cold feet or those headed out on the most frigid days may want something warmer. Nevertheless, this boot is a tester favorite for pretty much any mountaineering adventure.
I wore the Eiger XT EVO in just about every condition down to zero, and my feet were never cold or wet even when water gushed over the boots without my permission. I’ll qualify, I used the Eiger mostly on routes where I was either in constant motion, or the belay sessions were short. I would hesitate to lace on the Eiger for very cold, long routes where you spend significant time immobile at belays, or it’s just really damn cold. For those conditions, I’d opt for a more insulated boot, and this coming winter that will be the Mont Blanc GV.
