Take the panic out of waking up before the crack of dawn by packing the Mammut Women’s Nirvana Ride S Backpack the night before you go skiing. This backcountry-specific pack carries skis or a snowboard, and it hauls a helmet, goggles, hydration reservoir, and your essential avalanche safety gear. The Nirvana carries skis diagonally or at an A-frame, snowboards vertically or horizontally, and the helmet carry stows away during the descent. For support, Mammut equipped the Nirvana Ride with a light, stable aluminum frame wrapped in EVA padding for a comfort carry. The waist belt and shoulder straps also feature EVA, and you can remove the waist belt if your dawn patrol will be a quick cruiser.
The Scarpa Women’s Freedom SL Alpine Touring Boot is Queen of the Mountain in the Scarpa freeride line. It’s the burliest, with a 120 flex index, but almost a pound lighter than the standard Freedom. The SL also uses a lighter Intuition liner and more aggressive sole. Compared to Scarpa’s touring boots, the Freedom SL is more versatile (added alpine capability) and is stiffer and more powerful, but it does weigh more than the Maestrale or F1. It has a Ride Power Block that delivers frictionless motion for efficient climbing and locks in back support for power transmission on the downhill. For the woman who needs a boot that can charge off the lift in alpine bindings or slip efficiently into the backcountry with tech (TLT) bindings, the Freedom SL has few equals.
Rather than rebadge the men’s version with a little pink and a soft flex, Scarpa’s engineers made the last a little smaller and the cuff a little lower to match the shape and size of a woman’s foot and calf. The Pebax Rnew shell overlaps for a gap-less fit. Its Carbon Core technology wraps it around a bomber carbon frame for lightweight and allover stiffness for precision control. The Intuition FR Speed liner boot is molded with the shell for a seamless fit and powerful performance, key in making the distinction between a competent alpine/AT boot and one that kills it. The 101mm anatomic last features Axial Power Control for lateral stiffness and sensitivity.
The interchangeable Vibram sole gives you lugged tenacity when hiking over scree or down-climbing into a rocky chute—the boot comes with the Rockered Mountain Plus sole for AT and tech bindings, but the Mountain Piste sole is available separately for those who rip on alpine bindings, too. You’ll feel the advantage in an instant and respond with a peaceful mind. After all, you don’t want to charge down a finger chute with already-frayed nerves.

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.
There’s a lot to be said for a pure touring set-up, but it doesn’t come cheap. If striking a balance between uphill and downhill performance without breaking the bank on new boots and bindings is more your style, the Scarpa Freedom Women’s Alpine Touring Boot is probably something you’ll be into. The Freedom has Vibram Mountain Piste rubber soles, which are designed to function with traditional alpine DIN bindings, but can be switched out for tech soles if you decide you need improved uphill performance or your suddenly with-it grandma sends you an unexpected pair of tech bindings for your b-day. Your hiking will be golden even without super-light tech bindings, though, since the Freedom leads the women’s AT boot category with a 27-degree range of cuff movement; simply switch the Ride Power Block into hike mode to disengage the cuff, or lock it down to drive the 110-flex Freedom down whatever line you’ve been eyeing.
Once you’re locked in, shredding the downhill is as easy as crushing the skintrack. The Freedom is built with Carbon Core Technology, which molds the lower PU shell around a carbon-fiber frame, yielding a boot that’s strong and stiff without carrying any unnecessary weight, so you can drive even burly freeride skis without worrying that they’ll overwhelm your boots. The upper cuff, also made of PU, is designed to accommodate women’s feet and legs, with a narrower heel, lower calf, and a higher instep that work with the heat-moldable Intuition Speed Ride liner to give you a snug, warm, and comfortable fit for the whole season.This is the new scope of freedom sl it’s. A free ride touring boot so the idea. Being you can easily go on any tours. Generally probably more a day tour than. A full overnight longer tour but the.

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.

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.

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.
You never thought you’d see the day when you could enjoy both freeride and touring performance in one boot, but with the Dynafit Women’s Beast Ski Boot, that day has arrived. Built for long days in the backcountry when turns are the ultimate goal, this boot is both lightweight and stiff, letting you save energy on the climb and giving you the ability to power through turns on the downhill.
The Beast is engineered with Dynafit’s Snowdynamic concept, which means it’s built to ski deep powder with minimal loss of speed. The Precision Lock buckles sit close to the inside of the boot, reducing drag and preventing them from getting side swiped by a rock or stump. This setup also prevents the build-up of snow and stops it from entering to the rear of the cuff. A custom light liner can be heat molded for a seamless fit and enhanced performance. This precise fit adds to the warmth of the boot. An anatomic 102mm last gives your foot some wiggle room, which is nice for the climb, while the cuff provides a range of motion ideal for touring.
DPS’s Yvette shape, the fattest of its women-specific line, is now offered with the backcountry-specific Tour1 construction for a ski that’s incredibly efficient on the uphill, yet slays big lines and powder with absolute ease. A 112 millimeter waist easily keeps you afloat on the deepest days of the season, but the rockered tip and tail, underfoot camber, and generous sidecut keep you content on days spent skiing hardpack in the resort. DPS’s women-specific line isn’t simply a watered-down version of its hard-charging skis, either. The Yvette is built with the exact same construction, only with a slightly shifted mounting point for easier turn initiation.
The Tour1 construction keeps the Yvette lightweight enough to compete with other backcounry-specific skis on the market, but also boasts features that makes the ski perform impressively well on the descent. The carbon fiber laminate dampens vibrations for a smooth, stable ride, and maintains torsional stiffness for effective turns. A lightweight balsa wood core further dampens the ski, yet makes each turn poppy and playful for a smile-inducing ride that will have you wishing winter lasted all year long.
Power your way up tall snowy peaks and crush steep descents on the way down in your La Sportiva Women’s Shadow Alpine Touring Boots. These versatile tech boots blend uphill efficiency and downhill prowess so you can tackle tough objective and leave the boys in the dust on your way down.
The aggressive 125 flex suits the hard-charging lady whose mouth waters at the sight of gnarly spines and pillow drops. The Grilamid shell and Pebax tongue keep the weight down on these kicks, while remaining stiff and responsive for powerful descents. The 50-degree range of motion lets you stride confidently and efficiently as you cruise up the skinner, and Vibram soles keep you upright while you’re picking your way through a labyrinth of steep rocks on your approach.
Pack your Deuter Women’s Rise Lite 26 SL Backpack with touring gear and hit the skintrack after an overnight dump. Built with pockets to stash extra layers, food, and safety gear, this lightweight and slim pack is a great touring companion. Attach your board or skis to the external strap to keep them out of the way on the uphill. For the descent, the Rise’s frame system distributes the weight you carry across your back and hips evenly for better balance while you shred in early morning light.
DPS’s Women’s Nina 99, adored by many women for its versatile yet powder-hungry shape, is now offered with the lightweight Tour1 construction, creating a backcountry-specific ski that’s ready for all the ups and downs. Weighing in at just over 5 pounds per pair, it’s obvious why the ski is an uphill machine, yet its combination of shape and construction maintain fantastic downhill performance.
The 99 millimeter waist provides just enough float in deeper snow, but not so much that you can’t rip through harder snow or spring corn with nimble ease. A rockered tip and tail make skiing in powder feel effortless, while camber underfoot adds reliable edge hold and energy through each turn. The Tour1 construction features a carbon and fiberglass laminate, keeping the ski remarkably skiff so you can plow through variable backcountry conditions at high speeds without flopping tips and teeth-chattering vibrations. A balsa wood core works to further dampen vibrations and maintain the overall stiffness of the ski, still preserving the playfulness and pop that makes each turn enjoyable.
Whether shredding a powder day at the resort or bootpacking for glory turns in the backcountry, the Dakine Mission Pro 18L Backpack can help you be prepared along the way, from lunch break to full-on rescue. The Mission Pro’s women’s-specific design is built to conform with smaller torsos, so it’ll fit better than the average pack. The vertical board and diagonal ski carry utility lets you rig up your planks and gain vert hands free, and the specifically designed avy-tool pocket lets you keep your most important gear organized and close at hand. The fleece-lined google pocket lets you keep your eyewear fresh and fog-free for the descent. Plus, the Mission Pro is compatible with Dakine’s DK Impact Spine Protector (sold separately) which absorbs shock form unexpected impacts you could possibly encounter while sending the line.
In a world where products for women are just shrunken male products painted pink, Dakine brought in backcountry daredevil and snowboarding extraordinaire, Leanne Pelosi, to help design the Team Mission Pro 25L Backpack specifically for lady shredders like herself. This pack’s narrow, longitudinal construction helps to create a stable ride and comes fully equipped with key features, like the padded waist belt, to ensure successful runs through the park or in the backcountry. And with additional backcountry-centric components, like the multiple snowboard carrying options and shovel-specific pocket, this pack is practically begging to be taken out of bounds.
After waking up at the crack of dawn to check automated snow stakes and the local avalanche report, load up the Arva Women’s Rescuer 32 Backpack with all your snow safety tools, extra layers, and energy snacks before hitting the skin track. This roomy pack is an essential item in your backcountry arsenal this winter season, providing quick access to your collapsible probe and shovel for emergency scenarios and practice runs alike. Front and rear-panel access maximize the user-friendly nature of this essential backcountry pack.
Not only is the Rescuer 32 Backpack user-friendly for backcountry skiers and riders, but it’s also large enough to carry all of your items during ambitious, long-distance tours. Dedicated pockets for your hydration reservoir, goggles, and wallet organize all your items, so they’re not sloshing around inside the pack. Ergonomic shoulder straps maximize support, with a perforated foam back panel for additional padding and weight distribution. Additionally, there’s options for both ski and snowboard carry, which comes in handy on those steep chutes where bootpacking is necessary.
The Fischer Women’s My Ranger Free 90 Alpine Touring Boot is designed for anything from enjoying groomed runs all season, exploring in-bounds bootpacks to get some fresh turns, or getting into the backcountry before work. Its forgiving 90 flex is soft enough for lighter or intermediate to advanced lady shredders, and the 99-millimeter last provides comfort without sacrificing a performance-oriented fit. The walk mode delivers efficiency on steep skintracks or when you’re walking across the parking lot at the resort to the chairlift, and the high-traction GripWalk soles give you confidence-inspiring grip on icy bootpacks. Complete with a Primaloft liner for all-day warmth and comfort, there’s no place on the mountain that you can’t go.
The Prior Women’s XTC Flute Ski was born to farm cold smoke, but possesses the ability to tackle all the hardpack and chunder that you’re left with in between storms. Thanks to the lightweight construction and mid-fat 105-107 millimeter waist, this plank a solid daily driver, in bounds or out.
With a rockered tip and tail, these sticks have no trouble sailing through the deep stuff, and camber underfoot lets you rally groomers when you pop back into the resort at the end of the day. Unlike the traditional Flute ski, the XTC construction features a carbon laminate to shed weight without losing strength. A pair of the XTCs weigh in at just over six pounds, making them ideal for backcountry exploration. The XTC uses the same poppy and playful maple core, making it a delight to jump, slash, and huck your way all over the hill.
The DPS Women’s Yvette 112 Tour 1 Ski is a lightweight fatty designed to help you set the skintrack on a deep powder day, and enjoy the fluffy ride back to the car. Its wide waist keeps you afloat only when you want to, since you also prefer sinking down into snorkel-like depths about half the time on the downhill. You like sinking down on the downhill almost as much as you dislike sinking down on the uphill, which makes the Yvette’s rockered, shoveled, and wider tip all the more enjoyable. It keeps your nose above the snow so you can navigate switchbacks a little easier. This Yvette comes with DPS’s lightest construction to keep you nimble on you feet, and considering each ski weighs less than three pounds, you might end up one of the lightest skier in the backcountry.

Designed for aggressive backcountry skiing, the Women’s Hoji Pro Tour Ski Boot balances a light weight with a progressive performance for riders who value downhill riding as much as easy skinning. Its wide last creates an incredibly comfortable fit for skiers who like to layer socks, or women with wider feet, but regardless of your foot shape, the straps, inverse buckles, and various micro-adjustments will ensure a secure fit. Dynafit’s remarkable Hoji Lock system that quickly switches the boot from walk mode to ski mode with a quick flip of a switch. Recent updates include a narrower toebox with the TLT inserts set closer to the front in order to maximize the boot’s walking efficiency, and it eases your ability to step into tech bindings a lot easier than before.
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.

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.

The G3 Women’s Roamr 100 Ski slays the all-mountain game so you can cover the whole resort and still have time to ride some untracked, backcountry freshies after the chairlifts stop. A 100mm waist width means this ski will ride everything from piste to powder with equal prowess. Its profile combines an early rise tip with a slightly positive camber underfoot to carve crud and track through powder with ease.
G3 built the Roamr with a Joyride Plus construction that truly lives up to its name. Joyride starts off with a lightweight, flexible wood core made of poplar and paulownia, then wraps the core with two layers of Titanal aluminum to eliminate vibration when you’re cranking high-speed turns. Full alloy steel edges ensure control when you’re cutting hard, and the dual-density sidewalls enhance energy absorption and durability. The Stealth Razor Edge reduces overall mass and weight, while the P-Tex 2000 Electra base ensures a speedy feel.
There are those that prefer a lightweight skin to the top over all else, including downhill performance, and then there are those that take La Sportiva’s Super Maximo LS Ski out for a tour and don’t have to choose. Built with SKI TRAB Lightweight Technology, the Super Maximo is both extremely lightweight yet rich with anti-torsional strength. The core is built from 14 different layers in order to reduce vibration, using lightweight wood interlaced with higher-strength wood, then reinforced with a fiberglass box. This process delivers both torsional rigidity and durability to an otherwise lightweight ride.
When it comes to downhill performance, the Super Maximo LS is well adapted to a wide range of snow conditions. It features La Sportiva’s progressive Attivo shape, well tuned for adept steering, floatability, and forgiving turn initiation. This innovative shape ensures gradual entry into fresh snow, yet provides plenty of contact on sun-affected crust. Plus, the 94mm waist underfoot is wide enough to handle last night’s big dump, yet narrow enough that it deals well with any wind-buffed slopes you might encounter on your way down.
The Women’s R3W 105 T.I. Alpine Touring Boot is Roxa’s most freeride-oriented ladies boot, designed for ripping chicks with an affinity for hard-earned turns. The flex of 105 is stiff enough to please the aggressive lady shredder, yet still comfortable and forgiving enough to keep your feet happy on the skin track.
The durable Grilamid shell keeps the weight down so you get on top of big objectives with enough gas in the tank to let it rip on the way down, and the Intuition liner is heat moldable so you can dial in the perfect fit. The Gripwalk soles add a little security to icy bootpacks, and with a 45-degree range of motion in walk mode, these boots allow you a comfortable and natural stride the whole way up.
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.
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.
