Scarpa Gea

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• MATERIAL

  The shaft and shell are made of sustainable and lightweight Pebax® Rnew, a renewable resource derived from the oil of the castor plant that offers flexibility in low temperature ranges, excellent energy return and high durability.

• Speed Lock Plus

  Allows easy opening and closing. Thanks to the spring, which improves the lever function.

• POWER STRAP

  The Velcro® closure provides the best wrapping of the shin area, without excessive weight. It integrates RECCO technology, which allows professional rescue teams to quickly locate the skier in the event of an avalanche accident.

• WAVE CLOSURE SYSTEM

  The Wave Closure system was developed exclusively by SCARPA and offers the performance and support of two buckles, without adding weight, with only one buckle closure.

• HRS SYSTEM

  Thanks to the HRS tension buckle, the heel counter became a SCARPA® trademark. The construction ensures both touring comfort and downhill performance.

• THOR CUFF

  The newly developed cuff realizes a simple and clean design with differentiated areas of reinforcement that provide important support while skiing while limiting weight. Designed to accommodate the new Speed Lock XT.

• Inner shoe

  Cross Fit Pro flx Performance are Intuition Foam thermoformable liner with anatomical tongue construction and an elastic strap on the instep. Special heel inserts keep the ankle in place when skiing or touring.

• ECO

  A SUSTAINABLE CHOICE Pebax® Rnew is made from renewable resources with reduced CO2 emissions to reduce the environmental footprint. By avoiding wasteful behaviour and favouring renewable sources, our ecological footprint can be reduced and a clean environmental consciousness can be created. For over 80 years we have been creating products that allow you to visit the most beautiful places in the world, so now we want to do our part to protect them.

• Planet Friendly

  IN A NATURAL CHOICE Our products take athletes, professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts alike to the wildest and most pristine places in the world, where nature is still the undisputed ruler. To respect and support this, we offer a variety of touring and telemark boots made from Pebax® Rnew, a bioplastic made from a biological and renewable raw material: of the castor bean plant. Pebax® Rnew is a 100% recyclable product.

• 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

  RECCO® technology is used by SCARPA in ski mountaineering and telemark boots. The rescue system makes it possible for professional rescuers to find victims in the event of an avalanche accident. The technology was developed by Magnus Granhed in cooperation with Stockholm's Royal Institute of Technology and launched in 1983. SCARPA was the first company to integrate the RECCO® system into its products. It proved to be a very effective solution and has since been used by a wide network of ski resorts, heliskiing operations, parks and search and rescue organizations in Europe, Japan North and South America. RECCO® technology provides pinpoint location of a victim through the use of harmonic radar. The two-part system consists of a RECCO® detector, used by professional rescuers, and RECCO® reflectors, which are integrated into clothing, helmets, protective gear and footwear. It is important to take responsibility and precautions to be best prepared in extreme situations.

• Axial Alpine

  The Axial Alpine EVO marks a new standard in alpine touring ski boots. Comfort on the ascent and performance on the descent. Together with the "EVO Tongue" system guarantees the best performance.

• Pebax

  Designed for use in extreme conditions. Pebax® is a premium performance material that has been used in winter sports equipment for years. It offers a unique combination of high-performance properties: lasting flexibility even at low temperatures, high cold impact resistance and excellent energy return properties. The elastomers are 20% lighter than conventional materials. They incorporate a rigid polyamide 12 block with a soft, hydrophobic polyether chain, closing the gap between thermoplastics and rubber. Pebax® is the best choice when it comes to high-performance applications in the sports sector.

• Pebax Rnew

  Pebax Rnew® materials are bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) made from castor oil. They offer a unique combination of high-performance properties: lasting flexibility even at low temperatures, high cold impact resistance and excellent energy return properties. The elastomers are 20% lighter than conventional materials. Compared to Pebax®, Pebax® Rnew ®elastomers are a compound of rigid polyamide 11 blocks (PA11) with a soft, hydrophobic polyether chain. Pebax® Rnew® bridges the gap between thermoplastics and rubber and is the best choice for a wide range of high performance sports applications.
