Scarpa 4-Quattro XT

The Scarpa 4-Quattro XT is the lightest ski boot on the market featuring a GripWalk sole and a walk mechanism. Its strengths are clearly in downhill performance. The four buckles provide an excellent fit, allowing your power to be directly translated into steering impulses. The shell is made from Grilamid Bio, and the boot weighs just 1500 grams in size 26, making it very lightweight.

With a flex index of 130, it is one of the stiffest touring boots available. What sets it apart is its pleasantly progressive flex, which dampens shocks and vibrations, preventing them from directly impacting your bones.

With a cuff rotation of 61 degrees, it allows for large strides during ascents or traverses. The resistance during uphill travel is very low, making it energy-efficient.

The GripWalk sole enables compatibility with many alpine bindings and ensures good power transfer. However, caution is advised when walking in tricky terrain, as the sole does not grip as well as a touring sole.

The fit of the 4-Quattro XT is based on a medium last of 100 millimeters, allowing the touring boot to comfortably accommodate various foot shapes.

With the 4-Quattro XT, Scarpa has created a very exciting boot with a good fit and power transfer, which also excels during ascents. All of this makes it a rightly popular choice among skiers.
