About 10 years old but has had minimal use. The one metal connection is a little rusty but firm. Otherwise immaculate condition.
As per my snowboard boots, these babies have had minimal wear - approx 11 times and just once on real snow. They are size 8, really comfortable. See my other listings if you are getting a full set of gear together. They are a dark grey with a subtle pattern as shown.

We left quickly .. I do not wish to have my Grandchildren exposed to dangerous Herbicides!!!
Why are the Council spraying within this beautiful park and native bush.... the only place we can go for some relief from the "soup" of pollution out in the world we live in!!
I thought this was a safe sanctuary to go to help our bodies breathe in the fresh oxygen and lovely energy from all the trees and enjoy the bird song!!
Surely the council could arrange and pay for people to constantly go through the bush weeding and clearing!!.
And the Council in its wisdom decides to spray during school holidays when families are out and about in our neighbourhoods!
How long does this poison lay around and poison our dogs and children??? This is insane to spray in this beautiful park and bush.
Info on Herbicides. When inhaled, many herbicides can cause serious damage and irritation to the respiratory tract. The nose, throat, lungs and sinuses may be affected, causing either temporary symptoms or permanent structural damage. www.bing.com...
The Dangers of Herbicides
The dangers of these chemicals can be far reaching beyond any acute symptoms of initial exposure. Unfortunately, the price paid to eliminate undesirable plant-life can come at the cost of your health. It may take years of exposure to these chemicals before you develop symptoms but when these symptoms manifest, they can be devastating.
Toxic herbicides can cause damage to your reproductive system, nervous system, increase your risk of cancer, and irreparably harm your liver and kidneys. Because these effects are not always immediate and the symptoms themselves aren’t noticed until there is great damage done, the dangers of herbicides should not be dismissed lightly.
These chemicals can also affect the health of your unborn child, increasing risks of miscarriage and birth defects. darbi.org...
Herbicides are used to kill weeds and other undesirable plants. There are many different types of herbicides, all of which can be dangerous to humans or the environment if used irresponsibly. Paraquat, atrazine and Agent Orange are among the most well-known herbicides, but there are many others. Herbicides may cause harm by acute poisoning or long-term, cumulative exposure, with side effects ranging from mild to deadly. Understanding the side effects of herbicides can help to prevent unnecessary harm if you are exposed to these substances. >From healthfully.com...
When are we going to learn to stop putting poisons into the atmosphere and into the earth!! Exposure to herbicides are not as harmless as the producers of these chemicals would like you to believe. Some of the most commonly used ingredients in herbicides have been linked to significant health risks.
Take care all.

The 1st Auckland Cavell Girl Guide Unit turns 100 in July and is seeking old girls to join the celebrations.
A social afternoon is planned for July 3, kicking off at 2pm with past guiding activities such as knot tying and marking arm slings.
Guests will be treated to afternoon tea and a birthday cake before photographs are taken of the girls.
The day will end with a singalong around the campfire.
The next day, a church parade will march through St Andrews Church, Epsom, where the unit has been meeting since 1921.
Parishioners are invited to a morning tea after the procession.
The unit, initially known as the St Andrew's Peace Scout Group, is believed to be the first guide company which has kept going since it was launched.
It all started when eighteen-year-old Mona Burgin wrote to the Dominion chief scout Colonel Cosgrove, a New Zealand Boer War veteran, asking about Girl Peace Scouts.
He arranged to meet her in Queen St, Auckland and wrote she would recognize him by the red flower in his buttonhole.
Soon after the meeting Burgin formed the troop on July 6.
Girl Peace Scouts wore khaki uniforms and the St Andrews troop wore a red open-ended tie.
In 1923, the Dominion Council became affiliated with the original Girls Guides Association in London.
*Former unit members can email cavellgirlguidesnz@gmail.com for details of the centenary.

The shade sail poles are installed, and when I visited recently, the pathways and adventure trail were being formed. Work is on-track to be completed in late-May/early-June (weather permitting).
The Kaipātiki Local Board has re-imagined the playground area as a fenced toddler playspace, with slides, tunnel, sandpit, talk tubes, climbing and imaginative nature play. There will also be shade sails, seating, picnic table, plantings and the current swing will be upgraded to include a basket swing. Importantly, the memorial fire engine will be cleaned up and relocated within the new playground, and the basketball half-court is staying.

Fisheries New Zealand enforced the closure after research showed a significant drop in the number of large cockle in the area.
In a statement, Fisheries New Zealand's manager inshore fisheries north, Jacob Hore, said that this ban was in place to help the population recover and will be reviewed after a period of three years.
"We use the best available science and information to determine if changes are required to management settings to ensure our fisheries remain sustainable. This information, along with feedback through public consultation, shaped our advice to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries on his decision to implement a full year-round closure at Cockle Bay/Tuwakamana," he said.
What you need to know:
- There is a ban on gathering any intertidal shellfish including cockles, green lipped mussels, oysters, crabs, limpets, starfish, periwinkles, whelks, barnacles, and snails.
- Signs have been updated and fisheries officers will be regularly patrolling the area.
- The closure will be reviewed after three years.
Fisheries NZ is encouraging beach-goers who see any suspicious activity to report it to 0800 4 POACHER (0800 47 62 24)

What are your water-saving hacks?
Water restrictions for the city are to remain in place until August, and similar bans on water use may return next summer.
Watercare is set to ask council to remove restrictions on outdoor water use, if rain forecasts, the state of the region’s storage lakes, and a new supply boost all eventuate as hoped.
Watercare said Aucklanders had significantly cut water use, and the biggest supply boost – another 50 million litres a day from the Waikato River – should be available from August.
Presently, Auckland's dams are 51.4 per cent full compared with an average of 76.6, and Auckland's water usage is more than 10 per cent lower than Watercare had estimated.
