Scarpa Mescalito Mid GTX Review

The weight penalty is noticeable but not an issue in actual use and the Mescalito Mids feel equally as agile as their lighter sibling. For hill walking and general UK scrambling they have proved excellent. Days out in the Lakes incorporating the likes of Pinnacle Ridge are ideally suited to these boots. The Goretex lining proves to be a real bonus as the wet grass and damp approach walks of a typical UK summer are shrugged off. My concerns about the Mescalito Mid GTXs being over hot because of the GoreTex lining proved largely unfounded. They are doubtless warmer but even on a hike where the temperature was hitting 30°C I was perfectly comfortable.
