When accessing and slashing fresh powder tucked away deep in the backcountry, we wear the Scarpa Gea RS Alpine Touring Boot. This boot is feature packed without weighing a ton for top backcountry performance that won't slow us down on the approach. The three-buckle design features Scarpa's Wave Closure System that reduces weight without sacrificing strength and security. On bootpack sections, the walk mode's 61-degrees of motion and the sole's Vibram rubber let us take long, confident strides. And as we revel in steep lines and soft turns, the very stiff flex helps harness our power.
