The Expedition Guide 75 is designed for the operator out in the frozen North. (or South) It is the latest in a long line of unique boots manufactured by Swedish company Lundhags, a longstanding family brand, specialising in making footwear, clothing and equipment. They focus on the needs of the hardest users.
A number of specialist military units have them as the in-service ski boot. (including Sirius Patrol) The new lighter and more streamlined boot with its monocoque style of construction is being used by the British forces to provide a versatile, light and reliable boot for operations on the Northern Flank.
As the Expedition 75 has the key features that give it the ability to operate in sub-zero temperatures, this boot provides an excellent balance between skiing and the normal movement required to conduct military operations.
Order deadlines for the boot to ensure delivery for winter 2019 is the 31st January.

I pity the guys who tele for work.
Depends…if you’re out for fun, a latte+salmon bagel while you surf the new at the local espresso joint, dawn patrol, 12k+ of vertical laps in one of your choice locs in the Rockies/Sierras, finished with some PBR’s with the bros, AT is great and makes perfect sense. It’s also a great way to train at ski resorts/sidecountry and focus on downhill skiing and using skins with your team. If you’re out for long-term/range stuff and most actual work (and not talking about ski patrol at the resort, which is legit work) where the goal is movement over snow and route selection is based on mission, not recreation, plastic AT boots and clickety-clack dynafits/G3/fritschi/traab etc. have a tendency to fall short in a few key areas, especially if you’re in real cold and supply/support isn’t close at hand. There’s a role for both and anyone who would operate in the mtns should be able to handle skiing with a ruck on both tele and AT setups without too much trouble.
