High-quality overalls. I have skied small runs about ten times and they have met my expectations. I ended up with these because of the integrated gaiters. I haven't worn them in snow up to my knees yet, but the leg warmers can be tightened very well and the snow hardly gets into the pound. My foot size is usually between 43-44 in shoes and I got the 43s. There is plenty of room for wool socks etc. in addition to normal socks. A few runs in -30'C and the toes stayed warm.

Very good boot I know from a previous tour in the arctic. Reasonably warm down to -35°C and the integrated gaiters are a definitive plus in deep snow. Since I had problems in choosing the right boot size online, here is my own experience. I have perfectly average feet with a length of exactly 27.0cm, which in most cases fits a size 42. According to Alfa's recommendation this would translate to a boot size of 44 (27.3cm). That's a size I've never ever had and judging from other reviews these boots seem to be on the large side. Thus I chose boot size 43 and tried them on with a three-layer system consisting of thin liner socks, VBL socks and thick wool socks. There still is about 1cm in the toe box left and the fit is comfortable. In warmer conditions with fewer socks there is space aplenty and a size 44 would've been too large. Hope that helps.

A warm ski jacket with an integrated gaiter that is great for keeping the snow out and the heat inside. The boots have a wide last and there is plenty of room for the toes. I took a mono (44) one size bigger than my normal shoe size, which left a lot of room even for thick double socks without swaying in the leg. With a thin sock, size 43 according to the size chart would probably have worked better. The monos are quite stout and therefore heavy.

Great boot! It should have a velcro instead of a zipper like the polar model

Experiences from 5 uses in the cold -5 ... 20 C. Really warm and comfortable shoe. Lesti is spacious enough for a Finnish leg. You should take 1-2 numbers bigger than a standard shoe. The integrated gait is really handy and works. Not a cheap product. The Norwegian boy knows these ski lures. Durability (= zippers, etc.) yet to be tested.
