Ski boots that climb like technical alpine boots. Arc'teryx found the sweet spot for ski mountaineers, building a carbon fibre boot that melds ski tech with climbing agility. The upper cuff uses 2 pieces that pivot for an exceptional range of motion, so you can place your crampon points precisely and get lots of skin surface on the snow when a traverse gets technical. In ski mode, the spoiler snugs the upper cuff to prevent the lateral movement that's only useful when climbing. Fully snowproof and highly water-resistant, the shells are equipped with a hybrid closure system to distribute pressure and keep you locked in.
