Forty Below® Fresh Tracks™ Overboot

The charts above demonstrate how the Forty Below® Fresh Tracks™ overboots can fit with a wide range of crampon binding styles such as "wire toe/flip lever heel", "strap toe/flip lever heel", "quick strap", as well as wire toe style ski mountaineering bindings depending on the boot they are being put over. The toe and heel area of the overboot have small triangular shape panels made of a slightly thinner neoprene insulation that allows for many bails and flip lever heels to simply compress the insulation and rest on the toe and heel groove/platform of the boot.

WARNING:
The user must try on the crampons to each boot and overboot combination to confirm a proper fit! Some crampons will not fit certain combinations due to the condition of the boot, crampon, or shape and size relative to the shape and size capabilities of the crampon. The user must confirm proper fit prior to using. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss this for your specific set-up.

PLEASE NOTE: CAUTION
Using overboots with some snowshoe bindings advisory:
These overboots are strong, but will not resist the damage that can be caused by some snowshoe binding base plates. There are now several models of snowshoes with upward facing “spikes” and “raised ridges” made of strong plastics and sharp shapes, that will immediately cut into the fabric sole of the overboots, and is very difficult or impossible to repair. The general purpose of these snowshoe binding design is to grip the rubber sole of the boot that is in the binding. Many of these spikes and sharp shapes have shown to cut into the rubber of the sole of boots. It is advised to put a thick rubber layer on top of the snowshoe binding base to protect the overboot from damage. This type of damage to the overboots will not be covered under warranty. We do have some suggestions on different ways people have made accommodations to this, so please contact us to discuss.
