SCARPA F1 XT 26/27

Product detailed description

The Scarpa F1 XT represents a top-tier lightweight ski touring boot designed for demanding ski mountaineers who enjoy fast, long climbs (fast & light) with significant vertical gain, yet require solid ski control on downhills and in technical terrain. Thanks to advanced technologies such as a fiberglass-reinforced shell, a carbon-reinforced Carbon Grilamid LFT® cuff, and the innovative Wave Lite closure system, this boot delivers exceptionally low weight, high torsional rigidity, and a smooth range of motion. The integrated Overlap Shield Tech gaiter protects against snow and eliminates pressure points, while the fully thermoformable Intuition® Tour LT2 liner guarantees all-day comfort in any terrain. To reduce the boot size by half a size, use the included volume reducers.

Differences compared to last season's Scarpa F1 XT model

• New Wave Lite Closure System: Redesigned cable system with a micrometric lever and a 5-tooth rack for a more precise, firmer, and more reliable instep hold in demanding conditions.

• Carbon-reinforced cuff (Carbon Grilamid LFT®): Compared to standard F1 models, the cuff offers higher rigidity and faster energy transfer to the ski without adding weight.

• Overlap Shield Tech Gaiter: New Lycra gaiter construction with reinforcements significantly facilitates stepping in and provides better insulation and protection against snow entry.

• Upgraded Speed Lock LT Mechanism: Redesigned ski/walk lever mechanism offers 3 forward lean positions and minimizes icing up.

Key Benefits

• Low weight and high mobility: Generous range of motion and lightweight construction save energy with every step uphill.

• Superior downhill performance: The carbon cuff and 3D Lambda Frame ensure instant responsiveness and high torsional rigidity.

• Elimination of pressure points: The special construction of the shell, closure system, and gaiter guarantees even pressure across the foot and instep.

• Customized thermal comfort: Closed-cell Intuition® foam liner provides excellent insulation and 100% heat-molding capability to match your foot shape.

Key Features

• OVERLAP SHIELD TECH: Durable Lycra gaiter with over-injected plastic reinforcements ensures easy entry, high thermal insulation, and uniform instep wrapping without uncomfortable pressure points.

• GRILAMID FG LFT® SHELL: Shell reinforced with long glass fibers provides excellent rigidity and high impact resistance while maintaining a low weight.

• 3D LAMBDA FRAME: Special ribbed shell structure enhances lateral stability and torsional rigidity from heel to toe with reduced material thickness.

• CARBON GRILAMID LFT: Carbon-fiber reinforced cuff delivers maximum strength and instant downhill responsiveness.

• GRID FRAME TECH: Grid design on the rear section of the cuff stiffens the structure and optimizes power transmission during forward motion.

• SPEED LOCK LT: Ski/walk mechanism allows quick and secure locking into three forward lean positions while preventing snow and ice build-up.

• FRICTION FREE TECHNOLOGY: Construction without a connecting rod between the shell and cuff guarantees smooth, effortless, and natural movement during walking.

• POWER STRAP LITE: Lightweight Velcro® strap with a sturdy aluminum ring maintains continuous tongue-to-shin contact and prevents rebound at the upper cuff.

• WAVE LITE CLOSURE SYSTEM: Three-point anchored cable closure system with a micrometric lever and an integrated 5-tooth rack precisely adapts shell closure to any foot shape.

• TOUR LT2 INNER SHOE: Thermoformable Intuition® liner offers great thermal insulation, long-lasting durability, and comfort free of pressure points; includes an eco-friendly ORTHOLITE® footbed made from recycled materials.

• Take advantage of the ALPIS offer: When you buy ski boots from ALPIS, you get free heat molding of the inner liner directly to your foot using an original SCARPA oven. We recommend heat molding the liner after your first tour.
