Intro
This feels more like a Light boot than a classic touring boot. The open-throat hybrid construction and gaiter running from the shell to the cuff ensure waterproof protection. Solamente due ganci più il classico booster strap sul polpaccio, un look estremamente pulito ed essenziale, ma il peso, a conti fatti, è centrato in pieno per il segmento Tour. It was one of the first crossover boots straddling the two categories, now it seems that many other brands have followed suit.
Walking
The cuff rotation is more than enough for the category and there's zero friction between cuff and shell. In walk mode, be it hiking or skinning, it's one of the best in its class. On the other hand, the incredible freedom of movement isn't so easy to deal with as a beginner, with no support from the plastics in ascent. It has Atomic's classic ski/walk mechanism, the only downside being that it sticks out a little too far from the cuff.
Lab
Entry is so easy it almost catches you off guard, ideal for those with large feet and a high instep. Once on, the volume is extremely generous—it feels wider than the 100 m last advertised—and evenly spread throughout, including around the ankle bones and midfoot. The only downside, which has a knock on effect on the comfort, is that the lower buckle tends to squash the foot rather than close the shell. It has adjustable forward lean and interchangeable screws for easy at-home maintenance.
Skiing
This is the perfect boot for skiers who prioritize comfort and ease of use above all else. You do need good technique and strong legs as the minimalist construction doesn't offer a lot of support in descent. It's ideal for anyone used to Light boots who wants a little something extra. Due to the high volume and fairly soft plastic, there's not a lot of rebound at the end of a turn. But once you find the right setting for the buckles, it's reasonably precise on the downhill, as long as you keep the speed down. It's not suited to fat, stiff skis, as it's unable to control them. Rearward support is good and helps you to recover the right stance in case of mistakes.

Intro
Safety, a culture of doubt
Beyond the basic definition, there’s nothing as variable as snow conditions and the human psyche when under emotional stress. That's why, after purchasing the right self-rescue kit and airbag backpack, it’s paramount you do your research, train, scrutinize your decisions and, if necessary, opt for plan B. And, at least for now, don’t rely on artificial intelligence.

Intro
Products for mountaineers
Once you’ve chosen your skis, boots and bindings, your thoughts then turn to harnesses, crampons, ice axe and helmet, though perhaps not everyone, and not straight away. While it’s true that when starting out, especially for those transitioning from resort skiing who just want to start surfing some pow, the important thing is to get self-rescue equipment. It’s equally true, however, that the sport we love is a combination of two words: skiing and mountaineering.
