I tested Vasque's Bitterroot GTX thoroughly on a few long day hikes and overnight trips into the backcountry around Whistler well before our departure date to make sure that they were something I could walk in for 4-8 hours a day carrying weight for 18 days. There was another component to our trip in Nepal that would push the Bitterroots—we would be on a glacier for a half day up to Lobuche East Peak. So I was looking for a boot that could handle a few hours walking on a non-technical glacier as well as being comfortable for long days of walking with weight.
