    Dalbello Sherpa 2/8 AT boot Dalbello has refined the Virus Tour ID boots (which are no longer being produced) into the new Sherpa Line. This new line is comprised of three boots: the Dalbello Sherpa 2/8, the Dalbello Sherpa 5/5 and the Dalbello Sherpa 7/3. What do all the numbers at the end mean? These signify the ratio of touring to resort skiing that the boots are designed for. This review describes the Dalbello Sherpa 2/8 ID Alpine Touring Ski Boots which are designed for the skier who wants to ski the backcountry 20% and the resort 80%. The Sherpa 2/8 Boots have the same Cabrio three piece shell design with three buckles and split tongue as found on the earlier Virus Tour ID boots. This design combination simply works so why mess with it.
