La Sportiva Vega Boots Review - VIDEO

    Gear of the Year AwardThis new lightweight 4-buckle alpine touring boot from La Sportiva is based on their Spectre 2.0 boots but better in so many ways. The Vega is stiffer but still has a crazy huge cuff rotation so it skis like an alpine boot but tours like a backcountry boot. You get the best of both worlds in the new Vega AT boots from La Sportiva which is why we awarded it our Gear of the Year Award.
