Garmont Radium Alpine Touring Boot - Women's

Price: $699.95  

When theyre in walking mode, the Garmont Womens Radium Alpine Touring Boots upper cuffs flex fore and aft so you can scramble up rocky ridgelines; when you clamp these babies into ski mode, the Radiums become steely-eyed and stiff for the steeps. Garmonts lightweight shell design (new for 09) uses an overlapping lower shell and multi-injected cuff for consistent flex on your ski-mountaineering ascent and torsional stiffness on the descent. The womens-specific G-Fit Rapid liner has a plastic-reinforced tongue and is thermo-formable so you get the best of both comfort and support worlds, and the low-profile lacing system lets you adjust the fit on long tours. Silver fibers in the lining retain body heat and repel odor.
