Hoi... (again)

You have a point with some plastics being better for winter gear than others. I don't know much about the stuff, just that I don't like it in winter.

Especially with snowshoes, if you go for long trips/treks, and get some variable weather (wet snow, then cold, then wind, then open water, then cold again... more wind. whiteout!!) ;-) chances are you're gonna have some ice and snow on your feet. Alloy and metal, well you can bang it, scrape it, even heat it (good for bindings that are seized up). Plastic.... well...

However, it's important to find something you're happy with. I used my gear in artic army conditions, so it had to stand a beating. If you treat your gear well, it'll treat you well.

Andy
