A Workhorse for Ice and Winter Missions
The Lowa Men’s Alpine Expert II GTX boot is purpose-built for lower-elevation mountaineering, technical ice climbing, and heavy winter backpacking. Its GORE-TEX lining locks out snow and moisture while staying breathable through long approaches, and the softer ankle flex makes for easier uphill travel without sacrificing stability. Compatible with automatic crampons, it’s equally at home front-pointing on steep ice as it is grinding out miles under a heavy pack. Durable, warm, and surprisingly walkable — this boot bridges the gap between all-day comfort and true alpine performance.
Condition: This is a used item from our rental fleet. It has been inspected to ensure full functionality, but may have internal numbering written with a permanent marker. Please see our Used Gear Policy Page for details on our return policy for these items.

Pretty Gear Isn't Always the Best Gear.

Because the gear we carry is so dang solid, it can go through quite a bit of cosmetic abuse before it stops performing like it should. We will make sure the gear you buy from us meets your expectations and functions as designed, regardless of whether it's new or used. That's why we've come up with a 4 tier rating system for our used gear; Admired, Liked, Loved, and Adored.

---|---|---|---|
Practically new, likely never worn outside, just left alone and admired. Recent gear (within the last 5 years), preferably with tags. | Light outdoor use, only worn a few times. Recent gear (within the last 5 years), with very light wear. | Substantial outdoor use, probably about a season, and clear evidence that someone has loved this gear. Worn enough to be undoubtedly "second-hand." | Someone has clearly adored this gear. Significantly broken in, showing multiple seasons worth of wear. May have small broken or missing parts, but nothing that detracts from the original functionality of the gear. |
