Fischer BCX875 Boots - Any Good?

snowcamp · 16-01-12, 03:34 PM

I am about to buy a pair of Fischer BCX875 boots. I intend to use these on 8-10 day remote snow back country camping trips using an Epoch ski with Voile Switchback, carrying heavy (25 kg) backpack. We therefore ski at a slow pace, up and down the hills (nothing too steep and we zig zag down to avoid picking up too much speed with heavy backpack).

My questions are:
1) Are these boots warm enough for this? We previously used Scarpa T4 which was warm but too heavy and rigid for our "slow" application.
2) Are these boots suited for this application?
3) Any direct experience out there of people using this boot/ski in same setup and terrain/backpack?

Any info welcome!

Thanks
