    At SIA 2013 La Sportiva showcased the lightest 4 buckle boot on the market, the La Sportiva Spectre AT Boots which weight in at 1395 grams. The Spectre has 60 degrees range of motion, 30 degrees forward and 30 to the back as well as low profile buckles when opened or closed and a pretty respectable price point at $599. If you are interested in the womens version then that would be the La Sportiva Sparkle AT Boot for women. La Sportiva also showed off some new ski poles which included carbon versions as well as their ever growing line of skis. La Sportiva now offers up the Lo 5, Hi 5, Hang 5, RSR, RST, GTR, GT and GTS skis to name a few.
