Scarpa F1 XT

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• OVERLAP SHIELD TECH

  The Overlap Shield Tech gaiter is made of Lycra and has soft, over-molded plastic reinforcements. The flap under the lever of the Wave Lite Closure System allows for easy adjustment and offers even fastening over the entire instep without pressure points. The different thicknesses of the injected reinforcements ensure protection with low weight. The gaiter offers better thermal insulation and is easily adjustable thanks to the straps and Velcro fasteners.

• GRILAMID FG LFT® SHELL

  Made with Long Fiber Technology, which is reinforced with long carbon fibers and significantly improves resistance and stiffness.

• 3D LAMBDA FRAME

  The 3D Lamba Frame was developed to give the touring ski boot stiffness and increase torsional resistance. At the same time, the 3D Lamba Frame provides a reduction in shell thickness and weight.

• SPEED LOCK LT

  Specially designed for the new shell, the Speed Lock LT system allows you to set three different Forward Lean tilt positions. The lever engages efficiently and quickly. The sleek design prevents the system from being blocked by ice and snow.

• FRICTION FREE TECHNOLOGY

  Friction Free Technology: Does not require a connecting element between the shell and shaft and thus enables smooth movement in walk mode.

• POWER STRAP LITE

  The Velcro® strap closure encloses the shin area in the best possible way without adding too much weight. Equipped with a strong and lightweight aluminum ring, the Power Strap offers perfect support on the tongue.

• WAVE LITE CLOSURE SYSTEM

  The Wave Lite Closure System ensures individual attachment of the shell without pressure points. The sheathed steel cable is attached to the shell at three points. Thanks to the micrometric lever adjustment and the integrated 4-tooth rack, the closure can be adapted to any foot type.

• CARBON GRILAMID LFT

  Made from Carbon Grilamid LFT® (Long Fiber Technology), reinforced with long carbon fibers that significantly improve resistance and stiffness.

• GRID FRAME TECH

  The special grid design of the cuff stiffens the rear part by a better power transmission in the forward movement. Riveted soft plates provide improved wrapping of the shin.

• TOUR LT2

  The Tour LT2 liner adapts to any type of foot thanks to the fully thermoformable Intuition technology. The structure of this foam ensures excellent quality in terms of thermal insulation, lightness and performance, while adapting comfortably over time without pressure points. The flex panels on the back of the tongue provide more flexibility when walking. The Velcro closure on the tongue allows the wearer to position the gaiter correctly. The two loops on the top make it easier to put on. The ORTHOLITE footbed is made from recycled material.

• RESOLEABLE

  "This shoe can be repaired in one of the official SCARPA Resole stores. We recommend a repair before the wear becomes too severe to maintain performance and extend the life of your shoe or boot. View the full list of authorized centers on the store locator."

• Vibram

  "The leading brand in the development and production of rubber soles for sports, with a particular specialization in the outdoor sector. The research activities focus mainly on adhesion, performance and durability of the materials."

• INTUITION

  "Intuition liners represent the absolute Mau00dfstab in the world of thermoformable backcountry liners. Made from exclusive materials, they offer a durable, pressure point-free fit and high comfort at the same time. With excellent thermal insulation and exceptionally low weight, they ensure maximum efficiency and performance, even in the most demanding conditions."

• Recco

  "The RECCOu00fae reflector, which is integrated into equipment and clothing, enables professional rescue teams with RECCOu00fae detectors to quickly locate missing persons and represents a globally recognized standard technology for avalanche rescue. Such a reflector requires no power supply, activation or maintenance and ensures that you can be found at any time. However, it does not replace personal self-rescue devices such as ARVA. RECCOu00u00ae detectors for SAR helicopters allow large areas to be searched quickly when looking for missing persons."

• EMS

  "Specialized in the production and development of high-performance polymers, with a particular focus on technological innovations in polyamide-based materials. Their materials are characterized by excellent impact resistance, which remains constant even at low temperatures, a necessary property for the production of ski boots and bindings."

• QUICKSTEP

  "Quick Step-In inserts enable easy and secure insertion and fixing of the ski boot in the binding. Specially developed lateral grooves facilitate insertion into the binding. The system is patented, extensively tested and guarantees reliability and high performance."

• Ortholite

  "Advanced insole technology that significantly improves comfort, cushioning and breathability, creating a cooler, drier and more hygienic indoor shoe climate."

• Gaiter

  "The gaiter construction is the ideal solution when it comes to saving weight without compromising performance. Specially developed for lightweight ski touring boots and racing models, it offers protection, a precise fit and a significant weight reduction. The design ensures high comfort, good downhill performance and waterproofness even under the most demanding conditions."

• Carbon grilamid

  "The high-performance polyamides are reinforced with long carbon fibers, which significantly improves the stiffness and tensile strength without increasing the density compared to short fibers. This allows the shell and shaft areas to be made thinner. This results in lighter but more powerful shoes. It also increases resistance to impacts and loads, which guarantees optimum performance over the long term."

• Grilamid FG LFT®

  "The reinforcement with long glass fibers gives the material significantly higher strength and stiffness values than short fibers with the same proportion. The long fiber structure increases the stiffness by 20 to 30 %, which makes the material particularly suitable for lightweight yet resilient applications. In addition, all long-fiber-reinforced polyamides exhibit significantly better impact resistance than conventional fiber-reinforced materials."
