La Sportiva G5 Review

With its fancy materials and design, this boot is like a message from the future of what mountain boots will be. It's light, it's warm, and it's quick to put on and adjust. One thing it isn't, however, is water resistant. For some climbers that won't be a deal breaker. If this boot fits your foot and you think you won't be fording any streams or jumping in any puddles this could be the boot for you. Our testers found that this boot felt wider/higher volume in the forefoot than the Scarpa Phantom Tech.
