    Salomon MTN Explore Ski Boot – Women’s

    Designed to remain nimble on the up, comfortable during long approaches, and dependable on the descent, Salomon’s Women’s MTN Explore Boot is a solid offering any backcountry-roaming lady will appreciate. A performance-oriented 98-millimeter last and 90 flex is ideal for lighter, intermediate to advanced lady rippers, while the generous 63° range of motion in walk mode makes short work of bootpacks and long skintracks.

    Salomon built the shell around its Sensifit shell technology, which eliminates needless materials throughout the shell but reinforces it in key areas to maintain a progressive and responsive flex while skiing. When coupled with the lightweight carbon spine, the MTN Explore delivers big on the descent, without sacrificing an ounce of performance on the ascent. The women’s-specific liner and cuff is shaped to match narrower legs and calves and is slightly shorter in height to better fit the female leg. And if that wasn’t enough, Salomon made the liner heat moldable to ensure a precise and snug fit through the heel, arch, and toe box.

  • A backcountry-specific boot built for accessing remote lines
  • 90 flex is suitable for intermediate to advanced lady rippers
  • 98mm last offers a performance-oriented fit
  • 63° range of motion in walk mode for efficient ascents
  • Liner is heat moldable for a snug and precise fit
  • Carbon spine reduces weight while keeping the boot stiff
  • Lugged rubber sole crawls up icy bootpacks and rocky ridges

  • Hey it’s brad from back country skiing canada calm today we’re here to talk about a new ski from soft 2016 this is the solid mountain explorer 95 ski and. As the name suggests it’s 95 millimeters. Under the foot and it’s got 130 in the. Shovel so nice and fat for powder and some early rise and 116 in the tail that’s for the 177 length ski it weighs. 1,400 grams per ski so twenty-eight hundred grams prepare and that again is the 177 length so it’s a really lightweight ski ideal for ski touring it comes in a few different sizes 169 177. 184 centimeter lengths and the turn radius ranges from sixteen point five meters to eighteen point eight meters now the mountain explorer 95 is a full. Sandwich sidewall construction it uses utilizes utility rocker which is basically tip rocker up front underfoot. You’ve got camber and then the tail it’s a relatively flat tail it’s a 3d full. Wood core this reduces weight and maintain stability and control and this. Uses the cfx super fibers which is basically 60% carbon and 40% of flax. Laminate and so this increases your dampening it also uses what Solomon. Calls the g-spot technology and this is basically a combination of side cut and rocker profile in places the edge hold directly underfoot so you’ve got better edge hold on the groomers and also in skinning up hill it’s got a built in. Skin clip in the tail here as you can. See and in the tips it’s got Solomon’s honeycomb. Construction this is the same construction you’re gonna find on the qvc lab skis we reviewed last year over. Here and also on the q 98 that reviews. Over here and the q 105 that reviews. Over here as well in this technology basically lightens the tip and tail. Up for improved swing weight and it as well. Gives the ski no chatter virtually no. Chatter on hardpack and groomer conditions and I’d have to say Solomon’s one of the few ski manufacturers this really mastered this these skis just have minimal chatter on hardpack wears other skis with this early rise they chatter all over the place and start skating out on you so I’m really a big fan of this honeycomb tip and tail design the other. Think that you need to know is that this also comes in a smaller width it comes in an 88 underfoot so that’s the mountain explorer 88 ski and overall I’d say this is a really good lightweight ski for ski touring it’s built for ski touring but it doesn’t sacrifice anything on the downhill 90 95 underfoot. Is a good length for skiing resort and also out of bounds deeper days you might want to go a little wider but if you’re more of a resort skier than the mountain explorer 88 ski would be the one for you this ski retails for $749 canadian and. It’s new this year from salomon that’s the salomon mountain explorer 95 skis highly recommend it for other things back country skiing blogs forums gear. Reviews competitions routes go to.

    Dynafit Beast 98 Ski – Women’s

    Finding the best snow a week after the last storm requires some additional effort. When those sheltered north-facing couloirs seem like the best bet, step into the Dynafit Women’s Beast 98 Ski as you get ready for the long skin into your line. The ski is built around a stout ash and poplar wood core that helps save weight during the skin up and maintains stability when you’re skiing aggressively on bigger terrain. The ski’s 98mm waist puts an emphasis on versatility, so it’ll handle everything from windboard at the top, sheltered pow in the middle, to a little bit of the crusty stuff when the apron starts to twist to the east. The Beast isn’t your typical backcountry ski, though—its Double Elipse profile consists of a full rocker profile to give the ski a predictable and playful feel as you enter and exit a turn.

  • Versatile backcountry ski ideal for powder-seeking tours
  • Midfat 98mm waist makes the most of variable conditions
  • Full rocker profile has a floaty and predictable feel
  • Full sidewall construction is durable and stable
  • Ride Tip helps reduce chatter when conditions turn firm
  • Carbon and fiberglass laminates increase torsional rigidity

  • Hi this is hub with back country calm out. Enjoying a beautiful spring day and the Wasatch mountains here near our home base in park city utah I’m standing here with the beast 16 binding we alluded to this a little bit earlier in the year that we are going to be one of the few actually the only online retailer in. North america that’s going to be allowed to carry this binding we’re gonna have. Roughly a hundred pairs for the fall winter 13-14 season it’s a very limited. Release there’s 2,500 worldwide 850 in north america and a hundred of those are gonna be here at back country calm i want. To go through a few of the technical aspects of the beast binding because it’s obviously quite a bit different than a lot of the dena fit products that you’ve seen in the past first thing I’d like to kind of mention is obviously you can tell it still has the tech inserts that we’ve come to know and love from the dena fit brand which allows you great freedom of motion when you’re hiking uphill there’s nothing there’s no resistance points as you’re climbing also you’re climbing more off the ball of your foot as opposed to having a pivot point that’s a little further in the front which feels like more of a natural walk motion so as with a lot of. The other dena fit bindings this button is going to allow you to enter the binding by simply pressing down on it the teeth will open up and then you’ll allow you to sit into the tech inserts in the front of your boot now when you’re actually going into walk mode this throw would go forward which. Prevents the toe piece from actually pivoting now when you do go into ski mode and you put your throw back in place here you will actually have the binding that’s gonna pivot laterally in the front which is something completely new for dena fit and it’s going to allow you a lot better release in terms. Of lateral release as well as vertical release from the binding now on the heel. Of the binding obviously this looks quite a bit bigger than anything that we’ve seen from dena fit in the past and as i mentioned before the dena fit. Binding even though it’s quite a bit burly are looking it still is keeping the weight you know shaved down at night 35 grams is still a really lightweight binding for the amount of safety. Protection and performance that you’re going to get out of this piece now the first thing that obviously you’re going to notice is the pins have changed from a round pin they’ve had in the past with all the dena fit tech bindings to an oval eyes pin now the oval eyes pin is going to have more surface area so it has greater contact with the boot and with greater contact with the boot you’ll be able to transfer the energy a lot easier to the ski and it’s going to give you a lot more lateral rigidity on the downhill now when you’re actually going to go you know if i was going to step into this binding and go into ski mode all i would simply do is step in you’d be locked in and ready to go now when we’re gonna go into tour mode you would engage the front of the binding and then all you do is pull this first throw down and it’s going to lock out. Both the brake and put in your primary climbing post for your uphill mode now. You have a secondary climbing post which. Actually will flip over and you can easily flip it over with a pole and it locks into place on top of the secondary climbing post it’s easier to just you can pop it out with your pole get it back in place like that the other things that you’re going to notice right off the bat is the increased size of the. Spring in the rear of the binding now this does have a release value of 16 as I’ve mentioned before which is not dim standard because no tech bindings at this point are actually din released standard but what is known as its release value so it’s going to be very comfortable to that if you’re familiar with a din setting the other thing is obviously it does have two points of adjustment here for your din which is going to adjust the upper spring and then as well as your lateral release which is going to be adjusted from the rear of the binding now when you want to go out get your skins off and everything you’re done at the top all you do is pop this right out-of-place click it back step in and you’re ready to go now the. Other really important factor here is the elasticity of the entire binding in the past a concern has been the people you know if they were coming off a large air or really compressing on the tail coming out at a high speed turn but the pins can actually move a little bit in the back of the boot which generally speaking is not a problem with this new rear piece and front pivoting a toe piece it. Actually has an elasticity to the entire binding that will keep the pins at a constant pressure with the rear of your boot so you never have to worry about pre releasing from this binding this is the beast 16 binding we’re really excited to be the exclusive online retailer for dena fit in north america to offer this to the consumer if you. Have any more questions about the binding about the process of mounting the boots and bindings and skis together feel free to call our gear heads, and they can answer any questions that you may have on this any dena fit product or any other product that we have a back country comm.

    Scarpa Gea Alpine Touring Boot – Women’s

    Scarpa’s Gea Alpine Touring Boot is already a best-seller due to its proven design at an affordable price, and while some ski companies simply change the color of ski boots each season, Scarpa made the Women’s Gea Alpine Touring Boot better than ever for the new season. This year, the Gea is remarkably lighter, comfier, and more secure than ever before. A 100 flex and 101mm last make it a great option for skiers taking their first tour into the backcountry, but it’ll also serve lighter veterans who value comfort over precision.

    Scarpa updated the Gea with a Grilamid construction to ensure long-lasting stiffness and durability without much weight—it’s not as stiff or light as carbon, but that’s how Scarpa kept the price down on this boot. The tongue is still flexible Pebax to ensure a smooth, progressive forward flex during the descent. Other updates include a thermo-moldable Intuition liner that boot-fitters can heat up to mold to your foot’s exact shape for even more comfort, and the Vibram rubber sole has a new tread pattern specifically designed for rocky summits. The Speedlock Plus ski/walk mode is also new for this season and is designed to reduce play between the shell and cuff for a more rigid feel while you ski.

  • Scarpa’s best-selling ski boot for backcountry skiing
  • 100 flex is forgiving yet responsive in pow and on hardpack
  • 101mm last ensures comfort for long days in the backcountry
  • Speedlock Plus ski/walk mode is friction free and rock solid
  • Vibram rubber sole helps you boot up rocky summits
  • Thermo-moldable Intuition liner customizes your foot’s fit

    La Sportiva Sparkle 2.0 Alpine Touring Boot – Women’s

    Sure, you don’t have much trouble smoking everyone in your group on daily dawn patrols and all-day backcountry missions, but if your boot can’t stand up to your aggressive skiing style, what use does it serve? For women who like ripping the descent as hard as they charge up the skintrack, the La Sportiva Sparkle 2.0 provides the optimal balance of lightweight functionality and expert downhill performance.

    The reshaped shell now accommodates a far wider variety of feet and has a beefed up flex. Four Pegasus buckles with an optional power strap allow you to dial in your fit so you can capitalize on every ounce of that stiff flex in techy couloirs and wide-open powder fields. 60-degree cuff rotation and a comfortable EZ Thermo heat-moldable liner keep feet moving comfortably on long days, and the three preset forward lean positions can be selected according to your preference. The bottom line is that this boot is perhaps the stiffest, most responsive boot in the lightest, fastest package you can get—oh, and by the way, your friends might appreciate a head start on both ends.

  • Send skimo missions with these stiff and light women’s boots
  • Grilamid tongue with Vertebra tech provides 115 flex

  • Hey it’s brad from back country skiing canada calm and today we’re going to talk about the last sport team of specter 2.0 alpine touring boot this. Replaces the original spectrum boot which we reviewed a few years back that can be found over here this is still the. Lightest 4 buckle boots on the market it weighs in at 1400 45 grams or about. Three pounds three ounces that’s four half pair size 27 and a half sizing. Comes in from 25 all the way to 35 sorry 31.5 in half sizes the boot is a little. But stiffer this year it’s got a 115 flex rating which is about five percent stiffer than previous version the shell. Is made of grille made and the cuff is p back so that’s what makes this boot so light again it’s four buckles so it’s a pretty light boot considering it’s a four buckle boot it’s also now compatible with alpine bindings tech. Bindings and tr2 bindings so that’s a new feature as well what is the same on. This boot is the low profile Pegasus. Buckles really simple easy cam device to use they don’t pop out when you’re using the boot takes a little bit of getting used to using them because they are so innovative but once you get used to using them they’re pretty easy to use. On a day-to-day basis thermo moldable. Easy liner is the same as well and also the 60-degree cuff rotation so a really huge range of motion in walk mode and. What i love about the less marked eva’s in the original version in this version is you don’t have to unbuckle the boot to get that range of motion i keep the boot totally buckled up i might open this one up just to get the blood flow again but in fully buckled mode you can. Get that sixty degrees which is pretty incredible the sole on the 2.0 is a. Vibrant sole it’s got the harder the. Harder sole in the yellow locations and the softer soul in the black location so that you can grip on a rock better and not wear down the tip and toe what is. New is well in the 2.0 version is a roomier toe box the last sport team has always had a really roomy toe box this time it’s even roomier I’ve had to put an insert in to take up some of that room because it was just so much room for me but nice feature because you can. Wheel the toes keep them warm the pivot point as well it used to be removable with an allen key now it’s built-in it’s fixed which is great because i did lose the pivot point once at a lodge which was not the most opportune time so now that’s a solid feature which is great color scheme is. New as well I’m digging it i think it’s. A great color scheme for the boot nice and vibrant and lots of fun to wear it’s also 5% stiffer as i said before. And you can definitely feel that when. Ski touring and it’s a nice feature price on this is 779 canadian 679 us so. It’s a pretty reasonably priced boot considering it’s such a lightweight boot and it’s got all these great features and yet it still skis the hill so I’ve. Ski turret in this the previous version the last 14 is spectre original promote. Two and a half three years i think now on the version 2.0 and it’s a I’d say better than the last version they’ve they’ve improved some features but you can tour in this you can ski the hill and it kind of does it also it’s one of my favorite boots that I’ve ever toured in or skied in period the women’s. Version is the sparkle and it’s got a nice color colorway as well if you’re. Looking for a really light boot and you. Don’t want to compromise anything on the down you want a good fit you want huge. Flex range you want a lightweight boot and optimal performance then I’d highly recommend the last sportive spectre and the last 14 of spectre 2.0 which is the new version so highly recommend this boot check it out if you’re in the market for an 80 boot that you also wanna ski the resort and occasionally for more bug reviews go to. Backcountry ski in canada calm and everything else back country you’ll find it there as well thanks.

    Ideal for through-the-gates missions at the resort and light-and-fast backcountry tours, the Ortovox Women’s Cross Rider 18 Backpack is specifically tailored to the shape and needs of female skiers and snowboarders. Slightly smaller and lighter than the men’s Cross Rider, and with straps contoured to fit ladies comfortably, this low-profile pack carries all the safety tools, water, snacks, and other accessories you need for trips into the backcountry, all without weighing you down or making you feel like a pack mule.

A stowable net holds your helmet while you skin or hike so your head doesn’t get drenched with sweat on the way up. Ski and snowboard carry straps hold your shred sticks during steep stretches of hiking, while trekking pole loops hold your poles on the way down. Front and back panel access lets you quickly reach water, snacks, and extra layers, and there’s also room for a hydration reservoir (not included) when you want to make things extra convenient.

  • Compact skiing and snowboarding pack
  • Ski and snowboard carry options
  • Separate safety tool compartment
  • Stowable helmet net holds brain bucket
  • Compression strap manages load

  • This is the otter box cross rider 2020. Litre bag, and they’ve made lots of updates compared to previous years it’s. Got everything in there that i could want to go touring with, and so we’ll just take time to go through each. Of the features so first of all in our. Front pocket we have a deep pocket. Including a zippered one for all. Valuables included in there is a helmet. Net as well this is for when you’ve got. So many things in your bag you can attach your helmet onto the outside which will save space and mean that it’s out the way in my main pocket we have. Access to the main space there’s a space. For shovel and a probe and it’s as well. Compatible with a water hydration system there’s a hole at the top and cleverly. They’ve also added an insulated shoulder tube which should make sure that your water isn’t going to freeze if you are miles away from civilization this main. Pocket can also be accessed from the. Back meaning it’s a lot quicker to. Access any of the tools that you might need there’s another little compartment. Here for any other important bits that you don’t want to get lost in the main pocket when we talk about straps it’s. Got the across the chest strap with a whistle it’s also got a really strong. Waist strap with a really handy pocket. Here for quick access once you’re touring and at the front we have all of these as well so if you’ve not got a lot in your backpack it’s gonna help. Bring it nice and tight which makes it easier for walking obviously the. Attachment for the helmet can go on here as well there’s also a strap here for ice axes, and they’ve also included both. A diagonal and a vertical and ski strap. Holders so depending on whether you. Prefer to have them diagonal not complete personal preference but you’re not limited to one way with this backpack comes in at just. 850 grams so it’s on its own with plenty of space it still. Shouldn’t be too heavy by the time you filled it’s a very comfortable backpack thanks to the padding that you. Can see on the back and on the side straps and on the shoulder straps so if. You are going quite far away it’s going to be a really comfortable backpack it’s available from many retailers including. Snow and rock in seven different colors at the price point of one hundred pounds.

    This is a quick review of auto boxes free-rider 26 back country backpack which. I’m having to return to the supplier after only two days use due to been dissatisfied with the quality and having safety concerns the first problem comes. With how you secure the snowboard. Vertically using these upper and lower. Fastening straps its difficult to cinch. Tight these straps once they are. Fastened you have rather you have to put. The snowboard on attach the straps then. If there’s any slack undo the straps take your best guess on how tight they should be reattached them hopefully by the third time the board will be secure. Enough but that’s kind of redundant. Because after only 20 minutes whether you’re just walking or hiking the board. Those straps start to come loose and the. Board starts swaying left and right the. Second problem i found was with the helmet net once the board is secured. Vertically you can then you then have the option of securing the helmet net above that the problem lies in two areas. The first is with these brittle plastic. Clips on each corner of the net that. Used to go into the upper and lower. Loops with the snowboard in place these loops sits inset beneath the snowboard. So these clips have to stretch around. And attach into those loops which puts a. Lot of pressure on this inferior plastic. And then the second problem is with the. Lower loop material themselves they. Don’t seem to have taken into account that snowboards have edges sharp edges at that and already after only a few. Hours hiking this material has already started to fray and will eventually fail. I imagine on the second day of my hike i. Was about thirty minutes from the peak. Suddenly i hear my snowboard helmet falling down into a bowl beneath me. Because one of these clips broke i then. Had to get on my snowboard to take a line i didn’t particularly want to take to retrieve the helmet which was. Something i would consider unsafe the. Third problem was with the stitching. Already on day to the left the right. Hand strap lower strap used to secure. The snowboard the stitching has already. Started to come away it hasn’t happened on the opposite side yet but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time other than that the navigate compartment is nice and roomy roomier than other packs I’ve. Reviewed the spine protector. Although adequate could really be extended beneath and above to it to. Protect other parts of the spine the. Waist chest and arm straps are all very. Good but i wouldn’t really recommend buying this pack as it just doesn’t seem to have been field-tested or despite the. High price bracket and the various. Endorsements and reviews thanks.

    Okay so we’ve got the cross rider 20 backpacks here from otter box and it’s. Kind of your daily ski touring bag it’s. Really lightweight only weighs around 860 grams so that’s a real plus.

    K2 Talkback 88 Ski – Women’s

    As the middle child in K2’s women’s backcountry-specific ski lineup, the Talkback 88 Ski has the versatility to tackle long alpine missions or quick spring laps with equal zeal. Its narrower 88-millimeter waist won’t weight you down on the skintrack, and, when paired with the rockered tip and tail, offers up just the right amount of flotation in softer snow. Since every backcountry adventure isn’t always powder-filled, underfoot camber gives this ski a reliable edge hold on any firmer snow you may encounter.

    K2 shaved some weight of the Talkback 88 this season, yet managed to maintain excellent downhill performance when it comes time to strip skins. A Titanal spine and carbon reinforcement is to thank for this ski’s impressive power and stability, while the paulownia wood core is responsible for its efficiently light weight on steep ascents. K2 completed the Talkback with snow-shedding topsheets to ensure that you aren’t weighted down by piles of powder as you head back up the skinner for lap four of the day.

  • Lightweight touring ski to crush steep ascents and style steep lines
  • 88mm waist for quick ascents and fun, nimble descents
  • Rockered tip and tail add float in softer snow
  • Underfoot camber reliably holds an edge on unexpected ice patches
  • Titanal spine and carbon reinforcement delivers power and stability
  • Paulownia wood core is efficient on ascents and strong on descents
  • Hydrophobic topsheets dump snow when you’re skinning
  • Skin grommets help keep climbing skins securely in place

So many things in your bag you can attach your helmet onto the outside which will save space and mean that it’s out the way in my main pocket we have. Access to the main space there’s a space. For shovel and a probe and it’s as well. Compatible with a water hydration system there’s a hole at the top and cleverly. They’ve also added an insulated shoulder tube which should make sure that your water isn’t going to freeze if you are miles away from civilization this main. Pocket can also be accessed from the. Back meaning it’s a lot quicker to. Access any of the tools that you might need there’s another little compartment. Here for any other important bits that you don’t want to get lost in the main pocket when we talk about straps it’s. Got the across the chest strap with a whistle it’s also got a really strong. Waist strap with a really handy pocket. Here for quick access once you’re touring and at the front we have all of these as well so if you’ve not got a lot in your backpack it’s gonna help. Bring it nice and tight which makes it easier for walking obviously the. Attachment for the helmet can go on here as well there’s also a strap here for ice axes, and they’ve also included both. A diagonal and a vertical and ski strap. Holders so depending on whether you. Prefer to have them diagonal not complete personal preference but you’re not limited to one way with this backpack comes in at just. 850 grams so it’s on its own with plenty of space it still.

    This is a quick review of auto boxes free-rider 26 back country backpack which. I’m having to return to the supplier after only two days use due to been dissatisfied with the quality and having safety concerns the first problem comes. With how you secure the snowboard. Vertically using these upper and lower. Fastening straps its difficult to cinch. Tight these straps once they are. Fastened you have rather you have to put. The snowboard on attach the straps then. If there’s any slack undo the straps take your best guess on how tight they should be reattached them hopefully by the third time the board will be secure. Enough but that’s kind of redundant. Because after only 20 minutes whether you’re just walking or hiking the board. Those straps start to come loose and the. Board starts swaying left and right the. Second problem i found was with the helmet net once the board is secured. Vertically you can then you then have the option of securing the helmet net above that the problem lies in two areas. The first is with these brittle plastic. Clips on each corner of the net that. Used to go into the upper and lower. Loops with the snowboard in place these loops sits inset beneath the snowboard. So these clips have to stretch around. And attach into those loops which puts a. Lot of pressure on this inferior plastic. And then the second problem is with the. Lower loop material themselves they. Don’t seem to have taken into account that snowboards have edges sharp edges at that and already after only a few. Hours hiking this material has already started to fray and will eventually fail. I imagine on the second day of my hike i. Was about thirty minutes from the peak. Suddenly i hear my snowboard helmet falling down into a bowl beneath me. Because one of these clips broke i then. Had to get on my snowboard to take a line i didn’t particularly want to take to retrieve the helmet which was. Something i would consider unsafe the. Third problem was with the stitching. Already on day to the left the right. Hand strap lower strap used to secure. The snowboard the stitching has already. Started to come away it hasn’t happened on the opposite side yet but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time other than that the navigate compartment is nice and roomy roomier than other packs I’ve. Reviewed the spine protector. Although adequate could really be extended beneath and above to it to. Protect other parts of the spine the. Waist chest and arm straps are all very. Good but i wouldn’t really recommend buying this pack as it just doesn’t seem to have been field-tested or despite the. High price bracket and the various. Endorsements and reviews thanks.

    The free rider 26 abs mass pack the only. Bag on them are removable abs system so put the pack and. You’ve got your storage for you shovel probe open up into there it is the same. System same kind of step just attach red. Strip. Kind of top. There it is and then you’ve also got man.

    Arc’teryx Procline Lite Boot – Women’s

    With the ability to climb like a mountaineering boot and navigate technical ski mountaineering descents, the Arc’teryx Women’s Procline Lite Boot is a true alpine workhorse that will move up granite-strewn ridges and glacial ice with ease and remain rigid when you’re laying turns down a hanging snow field or narrow couloir. It’s clear at first glance that the Procline isn’t your standard AT boot—its split cuff, uniquely shaped shell, and integrated boot gaiter all indicate that this boot loves to ascend. In fact, the Procline brings a whole new level of uphill performance to the table with 360 degrees of cuff mobility (75 degrees fore and aft and 35 degrees laterally) to deliver an unsurpassed feel while skinning, bootpacking, or climbing sections of vertical rock and ice. And if that wasn’t enough, the Procline gets an extra bit of help on the up thanks to a lugged Vibram sole and reinforced toe cap to protect the shell from shrapnel when front pointing.

    The construction of the Procline consists of a Grilamid shell more akin to a traditional AT boot to give the boot the solid downhill performance necessary for skiing and a split Grilamid cuff to save weight and enhance climbing mobility. Where the Procline really sets itself apart, though, is with its integrated corder gaiter, which is durable and waterproof to ensure reliable coverage in high alpine environs. Beneath the attached gaiter is a heat-moldable EVA liner with optional lace closure to ensure a precise and comfortable fit. The buckle system of the Procline consists of two aluminum latches and a cam-locking power strap that can be quickly secured without having to deal with traditional hook-and-loop straps during transitions.

  • A women’s-specific boot for ski mountaineering
  • Split cuff delivers 360 degrees of articulation
  • Attached corder gaiter resists wear and is waterproof
  • Procline Lite liner is heat moldable for a precise fit
  • Two adjustable buckles lie flat to reduce catching on pants
  • Cam-locking power strap ensures a quick and secure fit
  • Lugged Vibram sole climbs well on rock and packed snow
  • Rubber toe cap enhances durability when front pointing
  • Item #ARC00LO
  • When you’re touring and you flick this it’s amazing the range of motion obviously that you have without undoing. That top class so it’s very precise for. Where you want to put your foot but feels really freaked she’s good i guess if you can do this if you want and you loosen it rights up when you’re throwing to it makes it even easier the side. To side motion business and kind of see. Here it’s on an angle makes it better yeah i like that i just. Kind of want to see if snow entry is any. Issue with this it’s a mountaineering boot so times are gonna happen when you do get off your skis obviously and start. Postholing up there’s something nasty and big i don’t know if he’ll be full walk mode like this or not but likely so. You can see i mean that keeps a lot of the snow out which is really nice that tall boots all gator and then. There’s that cuff area so without doing. Anything to it i just clamp that yep. Clamps i don’t think i can feel it but it’s in. There it’s definitely in there so i. Don’t know yeah but other than that i. Mean boots sure does skin nice that’s very comfortable and free feeling and. Light and on off-camber type stuff it. Sure allows you to keep a full skin contact if you choose so yeah so far so. Good okay so now it’s time for the book. Review inside instead of in the rain so. There it is size 27 and there’s our weight pretty. Simple little scale one boot 1.3 6. Kilograms so super light obviously. Especially when you’re looking at something that is as strong as skiing boot as it is so that’s nice so good weight on the boot now, and we look at the liners you’ll see there are two liners that this boot is using this. Is the support liner the support liner. Are they’re stronger liner it’s nice just. A good flex motion in the back of flexes. Going in the back so you can get lots of easily easy angulation with this boot is. The cuff of the boot certainly allows it, so we don’t want the liner to restrict that different densities of foam nice. And stiff through the top and the tongue so lots of support through their nice moldable down through the bottom which is great and then obviously our character being a mountaineering company they’re thinking about using liners like this if you have to be drawing your liners you’re wearing them alone not in a boot you can see you’ve got a rubber. Bottom to that boot which is going to. Give you a lot better traction if necessary but just durability as well so. Into the actual boot itself the plastics this is where all the magic is in this boot a few things that i really. Like i love how dry this boot is with this. Zipper that does up from the front of the boot it keeps this entire structure. Quite watertight as you can see that you. Tough and that gator around the top it’s going to keep a lot of snow out so when you have that boot opened and you are in tour mode and a lot of other boots you. Collect a lot of snow through here through buckles and into the boot so you have a lot of water entry into this whole boot system that’s not the case with this. Which is really nice to see it’s in front of the boot as you can see has the rubber rand to it that’s a thermoformed. Rand it’s not going to pull away from that gives you much better durability. And some add its stickiness if you are. Climbing and using this boot from a mountaineering standpoint to have a hard. Plastic toe that can skate off is not a. Good scenario so having this is going to make a big difference for people its ultimate comfort when they are climbing and not using it with their skis and you. Can see it’s a very burly soul the soul that’s on there is not one of these super lightweight soles that’s going to. Disintegrate in one season of use that’s. A full proper vibrational go it’s a. Mountaineering sole great to see that. Obviously works with pins it’s what it’s made for it’s the only way it’s going to work but from a standpoint of moving in. The mountains it’s great to have that security on your feet so all in all i. Have to say that our caraxes nu pro kline. Boot walks as i would expect it to walk. And skis much better so i think it’s. Going to be it’s its definitely worthy of carrying the arc’teryx name hope you enjoy it.

    I. So new from aldoses here we’ve got the pro klein boots first line about turks actually brought out a ski boot and its really visible to what three or four. Years it’s taken two actually but it’s been 2 into the market they’ve actually. Jumped strains the market and done something that no other manufacturer has done so far, and they’ve allowed a boot to have side words lean as well as forwards and backwards when you’re in work mode quite a few bonuses to this primarily really it’s for traversing and. Any sort of sliding i see areas they might be coming across when you’re touring but once the boot is locked into. Skiing position it’s as rigid as you’ll find any other touring boot on the market most of that is down to the carbon cough they got going down the back of the boot another big bonus to this boot is the completely sealed and. Waterproof gator you go on it any sort of spring skiing you’ll probably encounter puddles and wet snow it’s a. Highly breathable fully watertight gator. On here which will protect you from any sort of moisture leakage all the up to your car so it’s real adventurous boot at the end of the day if you pan could do any sort of back country access more expedition base stuff as well really great choice what’s really. Moaning surprised by it is the ability to control wider the fattest key to this kind of boot as well expected usually. Third people will be on quite thin narrow short end skis but i think on. Test starts pretty happy to control a good one 21 20 mil wide sky and. Absolutely rip it down the piste as well so that was the arc’teryx procon bit come see us at skibob let’s try it on give it a go I’m sure be able to prove. To you that a real touring boot back contractors boot can feel really comfortable as well. You.

    Hi every country in canada my name is radhika I’m the photo line manager for artery scooter we’re here at auto. Retailer for launching our new which is. Called a proc line it’s quite of an interesting design i think pretty innovative in the industry and it’s go. Back to you when we started the super process for a telex really decided to target our core consumers all our outreach them guys enjoy the mountains. To design footwear for them obviously we. Couldn’t forget that during winter all. These people are skiing and climbing during winter condition with snow, so we. Really wanted to offer them as well boot which was a design particularly for their activity to deliver the best level of climbing asking for the technique of the most technical environment arrived when we came back to the design concept. Of this boot idea was like what’s the main missing thing today in the ski boot. Industry there is one thing this is physically something which is able to climb very hard without the need of. Compromising with a climbing performance those two surfaces why because today and I’ve finished which you want to climb something very technical in winter it. Has to take ski boots and skis to approach the face to climb that i think the roots to do and if you want to have the best level of talent performances he has to take a second pair of alpine climbing which became 12 best in terms. Of climbing all he has to climb with his advice move through these touring boots which is obviously a compromise in terms of climbing and any performances so here we wanted ready to make to close this gap we solve this problem, and we really try to design an i braid in between an alpine climbing boots and a ski touring the first issue the first problem we try. To solve is really clear very simple is on that the way a boot walks compared to. A class from alpine canyon boots and the first issue is obviously on their on. Their own the cat design because you know every ski through a moose t-they works in this way, so we have a. Vertical rotation while an alpine climbing boot as a post off total ankle. Mobility which is really key to use crampons in environments so that’s actually the first cuff design which allows for a. Vertical and the lateral rotation to. Have really the best in terms of climbing and skinning your students it’s. A potential design which is really nobody it’s a double it’s a split car. Design two parts cuff with aria spoiler which engage mechanical you need to make this very solid this design obviously as. I said is designed for improving the climbing performances so for having really way perfect use of crampons and. Climbing the most technical routes in winter but obviously this is also a feature which delivers amazing dynasty for everybody in every country because this speed cap design the rotation on the calf allow for very natural walking in any condition obviously also it skins. So on your skin in that feel that the leave us for incredible the skin bein serious especially those thick traverses thus allows you for using and. Controlling the whisky and the skins was better than any other ski touring boots names so it’s a very big improvement for everybody in the background the second problem wants to solve goes. Really back on the protection so every technical alpine climbing boots for winter today has a gator to float that from snow and water and here we wear so basically made the first ski boot with a full gator which the rivers are full. Snow and water protection again it’s a snow proof system and some water resistant design with the zipper to act. To access to be extra step realistic again it’s a first in order to design a. Full gator boot or full gator scheme. The third the design solution which you really tackle which is also very important i will say it’s on the back of the back of the side we want to design the backer for our shell which was basically totally protected so there is. No lateral exposure again for protection. Obviously while climbing and also while skimming on deep snow tracks who don’t have their unwanted releases of the back. Of this battle is also a potential design is an i braid between a bar code system and a closure cable system such. As a bar iv the benefit of both designs why first of all we have the can o’clock. The fully aluminum bar code which with. A very strong mechanic lock on the heat for the helos for the ski performances but also thanks to the cable which is sliding inside the buckle so basically but when you close the bar code you also tighten the cable and tighten the force. So it’s basically working as a cable design systems there’s a bar but with the full benefit on buckle design we. Also have a third battery design here in the booth which is on the power strap the power strap is a very important. Element for the ski performances it allows for a very you know high locking points and for a very diatribes mission of the power wall scheme the power strap are all most of them are with the biker base and it’s a very big problem sometimes for your times in your doing you don’t wanna have these on one have digraph sticky on your pants and damaged in them so here we design a power subsystem which won’t the cam design so basically it’s a pool. System you just physically release it by pulling and pull the tab to close it. Very efficient very fast in transition and a very efficient closure design thanks to the same stress ball forward enforcement fear which really adapts the gun it has also really released hook for. Isis the penis the power turns of. Matthias we have state of the art of matthias food.we lamichael for very high level of rigidity and durable and you. No rigidity and performance at all temperature we have carbon fiber calf. With over ejection of green man for. Protection on the pivot point a carbon fiber charge the gorilla mean the spoiler for really strong rigidity we have also rubber toe cap which is designed for protection of the calf and if you’re climbing on rocks without crampons to give a certain amount of greater perfection these ball mounts all. Designed for mountaineering a lot of rabbles of our ability on the toe very high level of grip and performance is meant for climbing with a very short so length to 35 millimeters for the 27.5. Mundo points or one of the shortest in the industry and that’s we offer the. Boots in two different option that’s a proclaim carbon so the top of the end which comes with the carbon fiber calf which retails about i think one thousand. Us dollars not sure about the canadian dollars we have a version as well with the three limit cap, so we have the carbon fiber which retails at under fifty us dollar we offer the moon with. Two different option of liners a support liner which is a little heavier but hannah graham cider than the other ones with a bit more supportive cap design for you by the ski performances, and we have altered lies with the light liner which is lighter and has a little bit less durability professionally the boot. Waits for the proline carbone with light liner is about 1 kilo 100 grams 4% 1/5. And about what you know to android for the support driver on the compilation thank you very much have a great day.

    Greetings from the drezna hut we’re high up in the stew buyouts weren’t we’re just here for a few days testing the new arc’teryx pro klein carbon light ski tour okay first acquaintance it’s a. Funny-looking thing it’s got fully dinner fit compatible pin binding. Inserts I’ve gone for a vibram rubber on there so it’s got a plastic shell but the upper this is actually the shell here this is just a nylon cuff really lightweight cup but unzips to reveal the. Aligner inside this is the light liner. This is the most sort of agile. Compromise between lightweight flexibility and ski touring and ability uphill from ounce an earring but also giving enough support for the downhill performance you can get a support liner that’s a much beefier thing with a much more supportive tongue to upgrade the. Skiing characteristics of the boot most. Amazing thing about this boot is this carbon cuff it’s absolutely incredibly high-tech feature they put a very cunning bushing. Between here and the aramid shall the other thing is that the cuff is an integral part of the water-ski mechanism, so we’ll see later on when we get on the slopes the incredible skinning and cramp on in capability of. This boot but when we want to lock it down into ski mode it’s simply locates. These lugs with one single click. The amazing thing about these boots is. That when you pull them into walk mode. And they release you don’t have to. Bother undoing all the rest of the boot when we’re skinning on i see Travis is when we scramble up rocks or when. We’re come putting on hard i see slopes, but we can keep it beautifully tightly. Done up so the foot stays solid in the boot ordinarily in a ski touring boot. You only get flexibility for a raft but with this incredible cuff design you get a little bit of flexibility side to side we’re actually able to roll the skis a. Little bit over onto their side like that now that’s great of course both. When we’re skinning on an icy Travis to get a better grip with the skins it’s also great when we crump on him being able to get the points of our crampons into the slope course what you really. No using flexibility where suddenly. When you’re skinning your really only. Limited by the flex in your ankle not flexing the boot at all. This week we’ve skied absolutely icp. Star-crossed trod which gets a really. Beautiful soft snow the biggest compliment i can give these boots is that they’re utterly forgettable I’ve never once had to think about what i had on my feet now actually given the challenging conditions we’ve had that really is a complement indeed now i ski. This size of boot in just about every other brand but putting these on the first thing that strikes me is just how small and precise they are now around the heel that’s a really good thing because it means there’s absolutely no lift no slippage and no rubbing when you’re skinning but across the front of the boot it just means that they’re really super tight now if they fit the shape of your firm that will be fantastic, and they really are a precise fitting boot so if you were going to buy a pair of these boots buy them from a really good quality boot fitter get a shell that fits you nice as snug and make sure they fit them out properly for you arc’teryx if you’re going to make a boot this narrow and this much of a precision fit can we have a wide version please.
