Scarpa Maestrale XT AT Ski Boot

Scarpa's most powerful ski boot is designed to provide hard-charging freeride performance on the biggest, steepest lines. With a flex of 130, this boot features some serious stiffness while maintaining its uphill chops. Scarpa dialed in this stiffness with a carbon injected Grilamid shell, pinpointing an impressive weight to stiffness ratio.

Although the XT was modeled after the Maestrale RS, it contains key upgrades that give it added stiffness and durability. A second buckle on the cuff and an upgraded strap combine to give the XT a stiff but still progressive feel. Zeppa XT technology upped the ramp angle of the boot by two degrees for improved downhill performance. Scarpa's Freedom Design walk mechanism serves up a speedier transition from walk to ski mode while increasing durability when you're running laps in the resort.
