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 resoled at an official SCARPA dealer. Repair your shoe before it is too damaged. Find your dealer in the dealer locator.

• Vibram

  SCARPA relies on the high quality soles of Vibram® for its touring ski products, which are conceived and designed by specialists in collaboration between SCARPA and Vibram®. Thanks to selected compositions, the best possible performance and high grip are achieved, particularly suitable for activities in the snow. SCARPA by Vibram® stands for top performance, guaranteed grip and durability in all conditions.

• INTUITION

  Intuition has over twenty years of experience and today manufactures hundreds of thousands of boot liners for the most important brands in the world. The products are worn by skiers, snowboarders, guides and instructors. Intuition liners offer the highest levels of thermal protection and lightweight performance, ensuring the highest technological standards for thermoformable liners. The exclusive thermoformable materials guarantee a durable fit.

• Recco

  A RECCO® reflector incorporated into clothing or equipment makes it possible to be found by professional rescue teams using RECCO detectors. RECCO® technology is a global standard in avalanche rescue and handheld detectors are used by professional rescue teams worldwide. RECCO SAR helicopter detectors are used from the air to search large areas very quickly for a missing person. The reflectors do not replace an avalanche transceiver or a companion rescue. However, RECCO® reflectors do not have to be switched on and serve as an additional aid to ensure that they can always be found by professional rescue teams.

• EMS

  Exclusively in the production of high-performance polymers, EMS-Grivory focuses on technological innovation in its further development. This results in versatile materials that are suitable for various markets, not least the sports sector.

• QUICKSTEP

  Quick Step In inserts for easy and secure placement and attachment of the ski boot side grooves Allows easy entry into the stem. Patented, tested and guaranteed.

• Ortholite

  OrthoLite® offers the most cost-effective solution to improve long-term comfort, performance and cushioning while creating a cool and dry footwear environment.

• Gaiter

  When every gram counts on long climbs, our gaiter shell construction offers the perfect ultra-light solution that doesn't compromise downhill performance. The shell construction with Boa® Fit System is a great match for our lightweight, race-oriented ski boots and allows for secure, easy closure and maximum weight reduction while maintaining comfort and waterproofness.

• Carbon grilamid

  Carbon Grilamid LFT® is a poyamide reinforced with carbon fibers that improves the elongation resistance properties and increases the strength of Grilamid® without increasing the density. This allows a reduction in the thickness of the shell and shaft. The result is a lightweight product with high impact resistance and excellent performance.

• Grilamid FG LFT®

  A material reinforced with long glass fibers. Result is a product with the highest strength and stiffness values compared to the materials reinforced with short fibers. The long fiber structure provides 20-30% higher stiffness. All long fiber reinforced polyamides have higher notched impact strength compared to the normal compounds.
