Garmont Helium Alpine Touring Boot

Price: $679.95  

Wear the Garmont Helium Alpine Touring Boot on that five-day hut-hopping trip and feel the power of this light-weight distance machine. Garmont gave the Heliums lower shell plenty of progressive flex for touring and scrambling, but kept the cuff stiff for quick response and powerfully efficient downhill. A Lycra slide zone on the rear of the thermoformable liner makes for easier entry and exit, and also lessens your chances of getting Achilles blister after a couple of long ski days. A simple-to-use walk mechanism lets you effortlessly switch from hike to ski mode and an aggressive forward lean of 24-degrees puts you in the front seat when you point your toes straight down the mountain. The Garmont Helium Boot comes Dynafit and UNI compatible.
