Haix trekker mountain 2.0

[Arb Alex]

Hi,

 

Does anyone have any experience of this shoe and how the sizing is?.

Had a pair of the non chainsaw protection around a year. Sizing is on the large side I find most Haix are. They are a heavy boot and a bit pricey.

Have a pair. But pretty heavy, Good in winter though. I put some dubbin on them to help the leather remain waterproof. I have other haix boots for year round work, they normally last about a year before they start crapping out.

Cheers thats helpful. What is the lightest haix boot?

Can you recommend another haix boot that is just as comfortable but lighter?.

Haix do a real lightweight that's cheaper but mate has them and they fell apart really fast. He's a groundie so just walking, although a fair bit of walking obviously.

I'm on my third pair of Haix Trekker Mountain boot. Trekker Mountain 2 is a Class 1 rugged waterproof/Gore-Tex forestry boot. List price £229 + VAT but available  at £207 including VAT and if mentioned or personal use would be £172.50 as VAT exempt. Best to try them on if possible, I order usual boot size, wear various thickness of socks and modify sizing with two different thickness of Haix insoles. They take a bit of breaking in so best to starting wearing them before old boots wear out. They are a bit heavier than some other boots but that will be down to the thickness of leather and rugged construction in general. The boot can be resoled, laces might wear out but only cost £4.50. I climb in them sometimes but don't climb much these days and are mainly used for ground work.  The Protector Light 2.1 is a class 2 lighter boot but not as rugged as Trekker Mountain 2 boot and seems to be designed for light work/sitting in a machine most of the time, weight per boot 995g compared to 1265g with leather not a thick and generally not as robust.

as @Vedhoggarsaid they do a lighter one. Are you specifically asking for chainsaw boots? I use the airpower xr26 boot for general work around the site, they are not chainsaw boots. They are good for getting dirty in though.
