That's good info.  Thanks Max.  I'll pack a couple of short dowels for my trip. 

A couple of other quick questions:

Bootboards -- do hard vs. soft bootboards make any difference to performance? Or is this just a comfort thing, for absorbing vibration, etc.?

Plastic type and stiffness in cold -- I have heard that some boots are made with plastic that does stiffen up on cold days as much as others.  Does anyone know which is which? There seems to be two different kinds -- PE and PU plastic.
