Scarpa F1 LT Alpine Touring Boot

The Scarpa F1 LT Alpine Touring Boot epitomizes fast and light AND powerful ski touring. This boot will be the new gold standard for speed touring and technical ski mountaineering. The F1 LT is intended to be the predecessor to the beloved and cult-classic Alien RS. Scarpa wanted to make a more robust version of the Alien RS that could fit skiers' feet better. They did so by blending design features of the beefier F1 with the featherweight Alien RS. The F1 LT carries the F1's cuff buckle and spring-actuated ski/walk mechanism. These components should be more durable than the single action, dyneema cord ski/walk mechanism of the Alien RS. A thin booster strap is added to the upper cuff and a rear spoiler to the boot's liner (the spoiler will give the boot more forward lean). The lower shell is the same mold as the Alien RS, however the footbed now sits lower in the shell. This lowering of the footbed will provide the boot with better handling and increase the last by 1 or 2 millimeters
