The mobility of the shell equal to 60 ° of the total excursion, together with the accentuated gliding and the system patented EZ Flex ™ system of the innerboot, accentuate the walkability of the product, usable also for technical passages on rocks and slippery surfaces thanks to the full Vibram dual mix/double density outsole. The unique triple compatibility with TECH race bindings, AT and Trab TR2 bindings, allows for unprecedented versatility. A revolutionary evolution for lovers of powder.
