Hey there this is andrew from back country skiing canada calm here in. The whitewater slack country kind of late season day and want to talk to you a little bit about the scarpa freedom sls now they are the biggest and. The Beefiest boot offered by scarpa in the. Touring the touring category and chris. Davenport who's a an accomplished ski. Mountaineer and all-around good guy helped them build this thing this is the second season the boots been out and I'd. Say for me they're really an occasional. Touring boot or a slack country boot i have them paired up often with this ski. Here the line sick day 125 so it's a. Super phat ski and actually today. We just got 20 fresh centimeters so i. Found this combination was a good one lots of interesting things about this boot that all I'll show you first of all. One of my kid one of the key features for me a little feature and it's just. This little rib thing right here it holds the pulse of power strap in. Place so you sometimes know it's the little things also an external totally. External walk mode simple feature. Here i know some of them as straddles. That we've reviewed on the site have had. The occasional issue with a little bit of snow bill up here and then it just freezes but as you can see this very. Simple clip down you're in there and the. Flex is a 120 so that's comparable to a. I'd say it's comparable to dina fit. Vulcan probably and the weight is actually three pounds 13 ounces per boot. So they're not super light, but they certainly aren't as heavy as some of the some of the boots out there with this kind of construction other things that. Are key benefit quick step inserts. Iowa's feel more comfortable using deena fit. Bindings or tech bindings in general if they have this quickstep thing and thing. Is vague i know but it's it means that the boots really mesh well with the bindings and what else can i tell you. Little features like this thing here for. Touring so this buckle maximum. Slack flexes the degree cup rotation is 26. So not i mean I'm not super duper flexi. But enough and again this is for. Me anyway it's an occasional. Slack country boot it's not a dedicated. Long tour boot there is some carbon. Fiber in here also there's a bit of a frame or an exoskeleton that gives it. More rigidity and stiffness one more thing that I'd like to talk about let me. Get down on my haunches here the they. Have different soles available so if you want an alpine sole you can take it off. You see here vibram sole this part comes off and this part comes off and that actually the. Alpine sole screws directly into the. Carbon-fiber frame or exo in the. Skeleton whatever the carbon fiber. Aspect of the boot so it's very very tight fit and that's about it. These scarpa freedom sle from scarpa. Obviously and a good boot not a. Dedicated long tour boot but a good boot for the hill with the occasional side country lap and that's it my name is andrew thank you for watching if you want to see other gear reviews or trip reports and contribute to our forums go to back country skiing canada.com thank you.

Hey it's brad from back country skiing in canada calm and today we're here whitewater skiers are to talk to you about the 2016-17 scarpa f1 alpine. Touring boot the scarpa f1 replaces last. Year's f1 evo boot they had some issues. With the auto lock mechanism on the back, so they've taken that out and this year they are bringing to market just the scarp f1 no more evil so this is a. Dedicated super light turn boot it's only. Got one buckle as you can see and the boa system down on the forefront it weighs in at twelve hundred and thirty grams or two pounds 11 ounces and that's for half pair size 27 this is a 27 and a. Half boot here the reason it's so light is it uses a plenum id shell and cuff. With a carbon core technology and this carbon core provides the torsional rigidity you need in a boot that's this light so as i mentioned before there is. Only one top buckle here so this is a velcro buckle you do that up nice and. Tight and then you've got the buckle on the side to fasten things and cinch things down and then on the forefoot you. Have the alien inspired boa system and. This encloses the whole forefoot of the shell and gives you a nice secure fit in this area and then up top we've got a power strap as well one more accessible power strap at the top so the f1 has a. 95 flex so it's not the stiffest boot on the market it's a pretty soft boot but that's okay cuz it's a dedicated touring boot it's not really meant to ski the resort with but you can do it in a pinch it's built on 102 millimeters last and it's got a 20 and 22 degree forward lean. It's also got 62 degrees range of motion. So that's a really good range of motion forward and back most touring boots just have most of the range of motion to the back of the boot this has an equal forward and back i can't show it to you here because it's not mounted on a ski but it's got an incredibly good range of. Motion on the skin track you'll love this boot and the walk mechanisms on the back here, so we pop that down flex the. Boot and it's locked in super stiff now all metal ski walk mode here pop it open. And you're back in touring mode so it's really simple to operate the bottom side of the boot we've got a by room ufo evo. Salts are really good for scrambling up peaks walking around the resort lots of good grip inside we've got a tuition intuition pro flex evil lion. Intuition canadian company makes the best liners in the market and this line is no exception keeps you super warm but it's also light as well and very comfortable so the f1 comes in twenty. Four and a half to thirty-one incising and those are half sizes only I've been. Skiing the scarp f1 for the last few months got in advance of retail sales and been loving this boot on the skin track it's super light and it's got such a great range of motion that it feels like you're wearing running shoes when you're going up the hill I've been skiing this with my vocal bmt 109s. That's my touring ski and then at the hill I've also been testing this on my vocal vworker tannaz which are 112 underfoot that's a big ski to drive with such a small light boot it did an okay. Job if you need a nap in chi can do it can definitely ski the resort's not made for that it's made for touring because it's so light it's got such a great range of motion on it so that's the scarpa f1 alpine touring boot new. For 2016-17 replacing the scarf f1 evo's. And i highly recommend it gives it a look. If you're in the market for some touring boots and for everything else back country go-to back country ski in canada calm thanks a lot.

Hi it's andrew from back country skiing. Canada.com we're here at boulder hut adventures you can see the hut behind us here. Just wrapping up a week of fun ski touring and want to talk to you about the tour one waner 112 we've been. Checking out for the weekend for. Most of the season actually the tour one. Is one of three constructions options. Offered by dps you also have a pure. Three which is a stiffer somewhat heavier ski and a hybrid which is has. Some carbon but more traditional construction as well this is new this year I'd have to say the most remarkable thing about the thing about it is its weight the weight for the tour one is. Only one thousand five hundred and. Fifty grams and that's for 184 ski this. Is the 184 ski that we have here let's remarkably light especially with a benefit binding as we have them here just saying a little bit about the dimensions 141 at the tip 112 here and. 126 excuse me 128 here we've also reviewed. The regular construction of the winter. 112 if you'd like to see that review check it out right here so what's. Different about the tour one construction is its it's also a prep reg. Carbon glass fiber laminate construction. Unlike the regular winter 112 there's a. Full cap here you can see here and there's a balsa core and textured. Polymide talk is what the top sheet is. And also like many dps skis they call. This paddle tech which means it's wider. At this point here so we've had a. Variety of conditions here at boulder. Hut over the week and this is a perfect. Ski for good conditions it's outstanding. On the up track because it's remarkably light like way lighter than anything. That i personally have ever skied. But when you get into hard pack. Conditions or gender. You know breakable cross stuff like that it might not be the ski to go with but. In the powder that we've had this week it was awesome and it's a great. All-around ski so again this is the dps. Winner 112 tours one and just saying now. It comes in a 168 a 184 and a 190 cm i. Wouldn't recommend this as a one quiver. Ski its kind of specialty ski because. It's its so lightweight it's not really. You can't really ski it very effectively on the area but it's the perfect tool. For good conditions back country missions. Especially long ones that's it. Andrew from back country skiing canada if you'd like to see more reviews and read trip reports and read the forum's go to. Backcountry skiing canada calm thank you.

I'm here at the spl ward section this is. The new touring boot from dena fit really lightweight super lightweight touring boot apparently very. Comfortable to wear when you're touring but has that alpine flex that stiff flex. You need once you get to the top of the mountain you switch down to the alpine section and you want to ski down hard and fast this boot could be for you so a. Very new system called the home key lock system boots called hoji and it. Looks really neat as well Dina fit you know been around for a long I'm a really innovative boot. Company making a comeback with touring boots at the moment, and they've won an award here it is spurt it's really nice to see that look forward too hopefully. Trying this boot out this winter.

Hey it's brad from back country skiing canada.com and today we're gonna talk about the deena fit hoji pro tour boot brand-new boot this year from deena fit. This is a collaboration between eric horror fasten or ho g which is a lot easier se and low tech binding inventor fritz barth oh this project was four years in the making and the result is. The ho g pro tour boot it started out as a Frankenstein of the Vulcan boot that. Hold you worked on for a bunch of years and the main feature of this boot is the. Ho g lock system so this one lever on the back here this releases when i pull it up push into walk mode but it also releases the top buckle and the ultra. Lock strap so a really innovative design and the cuff here it's a sliding tongue and groove spine this really supports the shell directly makes it super stiff 120 flex rating and still gives it a nice progressive flex so starts out. Smooth and you don't hit that wall at the end of the flex it's a nice smooth start and smooth finish to the flex which is ideal other innovation which is. Not unique to this boot but the speed knows it's a minimal toe so there is no toe log its saves on weight and it as well. Sets the pivot point back on the boot so. When you're walking and it's a much more fluid stride and it also makes stepping into tech bindings a lot easier so this. Is a three buckle boot through buckles on the front and then you've also got the ultra lock power strap as well which is all controlled the top two buckles controlled with this hora lock system, so they undo when i go into walk mode, and they tighten back up with these cables here when i go back in a ski mode the. Boot weighs 2,900 grams are 6.4 pounds and it also comes in a pbx version so. This is the gorilla mode version shall cuff and spoiler the pbx version is a little bit heavier but also not as expensive the flex rating is 120 and I'd. Say this is a true 120 flex rating really happy with how stiff this boot is considering that we've got this versatility with the whole g lock system so 120 flex rating I'd ski this thing on. The hill it's difficult for that for me cuff rotation of 55 degrees front and back equally split really nice to have. That full cuff rotation on the forward dean if it had some boots out that didn't have that forward flexing to kind of hit that wall unless you unbuckled everything this thing has a true flex for him back in the cuff rotation built on a 100 3.5 millimeter last and it's. Got a super wide toe box i like boots with room to wiggle my toes in this has. A nice big toe box fits my average-sized foot well and then in the heal people. Have complained that it's a little tight but it fits my heel perfectly the pocket is nice and secure and then this middle bucket here buckle here really cinches your heel down into that pocket nicely the boot retails for eight hundred ninety-nine dollars canadian or eight hundred dollars is and that's the dena fit hoji pro 2 or boot it's gonna be a big seller this year super innovative i think it's gonna change boot design for the coming years because this hora lock system is just a true innovation at how. Much it saves on time and transitions. And that you don't have to reset the boot so I'll go for a day ski touring. Set my buckles all as if i was skiing and then just going to walk mode and don't touch a thing and be in that until. I'm ready to ski down and i don't touch my buckles all day it's just one lever at the back so a really innovative design congrats to hoji and to fritz i. Think it's a really innovative design so check out the dean of hit hoji pro 2 or boot we've got the full review on the website at back country skiing canada calm and a bunch of other 80 boot skis bindings and everything back country skiing thanks very much You

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.

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.
