Dynafit Ridge Pro

Today, Doug's diving deep into the new Dynafit Ridge Pro Touring Boot. The Ridge Pro is a remarkably stiff boot for its 1250-gram weight (26.5 mondo), and with a great range of motion and innovative design, it's certainly worth serious consideration.
A lightened-up Hoji Walk mechanism, designed by Eric Hjorleifson, eliminates annoying cuff play and gives this boot its stiff downhill feel. This boot is built for those who appreciate walking comfort without sacrificing downhill performance. The carbon-reinforced cuff adds a solid touch to the Ridge Pro. It's not just for show - this boot handles diverse conditions like a champ. Steep descents, mixed terrain - bring it on. It's a reliable partner for whatever snow you may encounter.
Dynafit incorporated a new "floating tongue" design that allows the Ridge Pro to adapt to your instep volume. Paired with the Moz dial system, this boot has an incredibly universal fit and can adapt to a wide range of foot shapes with minimal modification.

Scarpa Maestrale RS Review

zhlédnutí 9KPřed 10 měsíci

We take a look at the brand new and redesigned 2024 Maestrale RS and Maestrale. The Maestrale has been the flagship boot of Scarpa's touring lineup for years, but for the 2024 season, they have entirely revamped the boot. Scarpa remolded the fit, updated the walk mechanism, gave it a new sole, and updated the liner and closure system. Impressively, even with all this, they still shaved 40 grams...

F1 LT Review

zhlédnutí 6KPřed rokem

The F1 LT has been one of our go-to boots in the sub-1000 gram category since its inception. We've found ourselves using the F1 LT on the biggest, most consequential mountaineering lines, everyday fitness laps in the resort, and everything in between. The LT is a true swiss army knife of a boot and has been copied by many other manufacturers looking for high-performance sub 1000-gram touring bo...

Scarpa Quattro First Look

zhlédnutí 11KPřed rokem

Scarpa is jumping onto the Gripwalk, hybrid ski touring boot bandwagon with their new Quattro XT. With a full, alpine-style overlapping shell and a stiff 130 flex we are incredibly stoked about how hard the Quattro skis. However, weighing only 1522 grams in a 27.0 and with an awesome walk mode, we think the Quattro tours better than almost any other Gripwalk boot out there. We can't wait to kee...
