The ultimate AT boot, the "F1 RS" with BOA system, has arrived!
As the pinnacle of the lightweight touring model "F1" series, the "F1 RS" makes its debut for the 26-27 season. Unusually for a Scarpa touring model, it employs a two-piece construction (overlap cuff structure), achieving a high level of fusion between direct power transfer during skiing and flexibility during ascents. With a forward lean angle of 15 degrees (±2 degrees) and a wide cuff range of motion of 60 degrees, it also boasts an incredibly light weight of 1,340g per shoe (size 27cm). This results in a shoe that greatly expands your range of activity in the backcountry.
Available in both men's and women's models, these skis are perfect for skiers who don't want to compromise on anything, whether it's climbing or skiing

The "4-Quattro" series combines the skiing performance of alpine boots with the mobility of mountaineering boots. The top-of-the-line model in this series is the "4-Quattro Pro." It places particular emphasis on downhill performance, featuring a highly rigid shell and cuff, as well as a hard plate built into the inner tongue. The 4-buckle + booster strap structure ensures high power transfer and stability at high speeds
On the other hand, when hiking, it boasts a wide cuff range of motion of 60 degrees, and the grip-walk compatible sole provides reliable footing even on rocky ridges. Despite its rigidity, it is lightweight at 1,555g, ensuring ease of walking even during long stretches of snowshoeing or uphill hikes. The simple ski/walk switching mechanism, which can be operated by simply pressing down from above, even with gloved hands, truly shines in harsh conditions
These high-level touring boots embody the modern freeride scene, tackling steep alpine lines after a grueling approach. Their development involved Norwegian freeride skier Nikolai Schirmer, who is also a brand ambassador, filmmaker, and storyteller
"Scarpa," which means shoes in Italian, was founded in 1938 in the village of Asolo in northern Italy as a shoe manufacturing company. The shoes that Scarpa offers to its users are beautifully designed, durable, and long-lasting. They are produced using a process that does not prioritize cost or efficiency, with a focus on products that can withstand multiple repairs and that develop a deep attachment that feels like a part of the body
They have succeeded in developing the first plastic telemark boots, especially for mountain ski boots that require ski climbing. They have been well received by telemarkers, and their alpine touring boots range from the all-around 4 Quattro to the lightweight touring type F1 and the Alien for skimo racers
