Enter Sammy Carlson. Introducing the signature model | FULLTILT

3-piece shell FULLTILT, commonly known as FT boots, has a flexible boot structure that does not impair ankle movement.

Sammy Carlson joins the team. Birth of a signature model

A new face has joined <FULLTILT>.

SAMMY CARLSON, who has achieved many good results at the X Games and continues to be hooked up by many media even after leaving the competition scene. His signature model will soon appear in the 21st season.

His model, which carves lines on every slope while deciding various tricks in the backcountry field, is named "ASCENDANT SAMMY CARLSON" and is incorporated into one of the ASCENDANT series. rice field. The ASCENDANT series, which has been lined up since the 2019 season, is the long-awaited <FULLTILT> tech binding compatible boot that users have been waiting for for many years.
The tour model, which does not impair the gliding performance, which is the greatest feature, has entered a new stage by welcoming a rare genius skier named Sammy Carlson to the team.

Differences and features of the two models of the ASCENDANT series

From here, let's compare Sammy's signature model "SC" with another model of the ASCENDANT series, "APPROACH".

The difference in appearance is the power belt and inner boots, but the big difference is the shell material. The difference is indicated by the red characters in the specs of both models.

"SC" is made of TPU material for the shell and Grilamid, a lightweight material for the tongue. "APPROACH" is a mixed material of TPU and Grilamid for the shell, and the tongue is Grilamid like "SC". The TPU material is tough enough to withstand heavy falls and bumps, and it also has the ability to be thermoformed. "APPROACH" uses more lightweight material Grilamid.

From these characteristics of the shell material, it can be seen that "SC" focuses on intense gliding and lightness, and "APPROACH" specializes in lightness that does not hesitate to move for a long time.

"SC" also has other functions that excel in gliding.
The power belt is a "Cinch strap" that has a better hold than a normal strap, and has excellent power transmission and durability.

It's easy to loosen with a ripcord, so you can reduce the hassle of hiking. The inner boots are "PRO TOUR WRAP" which is one rank higher than Tour Flex. The reason why Sammy chose <FULLTILT> is obvious if you look at this video.
