More from SIA 2013. New Scarpa AT boots--The Freedom Collection -- Video

  • 2013-03-12 20:52:20

    You know…one thing we like about Scarpa North America is that they are good guys. Here is a video we shot of Kim Miller, Scarpa NA lead, and Chris Davenport, athlete/ambassador/ringer, talking about the new Freedom collection of alpine touring boots from Scarpa. We have already taken a look at the Scarpa Maestrale AT boot and the Scarpa Rush AT boot. We also have a review of the Maestrale RS in the works. Here, Kim and Chris talk about the four boots in the Freedom collection. We think they look like a super beefy alpine boot that'll work well for the occasional foray into the slackcountry. They even have tech fittings!




    The Flagship — Scarpa Freedom SL


    The four boots in the Freedom collection. Two models for men, two for women.



    Das Boots. The entire Scarpa collection.


    The Freedom SL comes with a vibram lug sole. It can be swapped out for a DIN sole if desired.
