Apparently, the infamous mohawk from the mid-80's extreme ski scene, Mr. Glen Plake, has played a lead role in the 3-year development of the Dalbello Virus Tour I.D. alpine touring boot. The Virus Tour I.D. is a three-buckle boot that performs more like it's alpine four-buckle boot cousins. At 3312grams (for a pair of size 26's) this isn't the lightest boot on the market but it easily rivals those from of the big backcountry brands. If you are seriously concerned about weight then you may want to look into the VIRUS Lite I.D. which weighs 98 grams less per pair thanks to the use of Pebax plastic which is 20% lighter.
The main features of the Dalbello Virus Tour I.D. are the 2 piece BioStride tongue, Cabrio design and Dynalink retention system. I know that all sounds like a bunch of marketing speak so I lets see what is behind each of these.
