Description of Garmont Adrenalin Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Men's: |
The Garmont Adrenaline Alpine Touring Ski Boot created a new genre for high performance alpine freeriding for ski mountaineers and this year its coming at you even more beefed up and more refined. The new G-Fit3 thermo-moldable liner combines a lacing system, burlier exterior materials, and three densities of foam to provide optimal fit and killer support. Garmont also redesigned the walk/ski switch to a protected lever that won't come unlocked in the middle of your descent—genius. Take the Adrenalines to the resort or to the backcountry – interchangeable soles allow you to use them with your AT bindings or your standard alpine set-up, making it a unique one-boot quiver. NOTE: Be sure to check out our sizing chart for optimal fit.
Bottom Line: If you're all about breaking old limits and finding new addictions, the Garmont Adrenalin Alpine Touring Ski Boot is your kind of boot.

| Decent Boots 03-12-08 |
gladtmcdou446340 (1):  |
| I bought these boots primarily for working races. That means a lot of standing around and walking and working setting B net, A net skirting, gate and course maintenance etc. sometimes in crampons. For that they are great. For skiing a fat ski in soft snow they are also pretty darn good. For sking a race course on a race ski on hard snow...not so good. But who said that they would...Tips: 1) check the sole length of the alpine boots you wear and compare that to sole length of Garmont sizing on their site. I found that most Alpine boots like Salomon and Technica fit me at 26.5 - 305 mm sole. The Garmot 26.5 was under 300mm and too small. The Garmont 27.5 was a 305mm sole and fit. It also fit my bindings without readjusting. 2) this boot comes with 2 interchangeable soles. The Vibram and one for your alpine binders. Seems reasonable although they say the Vibram sole is for use with AT bindings. My AT bindings (NAXO 21) say they are good for both alpine and AT boots. I understand that the vibram sole doesn't have the AFD as my alpine boots do. The answer? Ski fast hope for an impact release, not a slow turning slow torque release.
I put my custom insoles in at the proper moment during the baking process. I suggest that for all.
3) Apres ski...put them on walk, loosen the buckles and you can drive the SUV home, pick up tofu or steaks at the grocery store without clunking and slipping around like a moron. Put them on at home in the morning and take them off when you get home, no need for street shoes.
I had some Lowas and they were way to soft for anything but a noodle of a an AT ski in soft snow. I had some Nordica TR10's that hurt so much on my shins and ankles I cried like a school girl. Been in Hi -Perf or Race boots for 30 years and this is as good as I have had it for a "crossover" boot.
For what it's worth... |

| Best Boots I've Ever Owned --so far 08-28-08 |
Mike H. (2):  |
| They run narrow and a bit short compared to alpine boots. I own two pairs of these and the newer ones '07-'08's seem to be smaller out of the box. In my opinion to get these to fit correctly, you will need a bootfitter to open the toe box up a bit if you have a D foot. Performance wise these things can drive most any alpine ski out there and will overpower pure backcountry skis--I've skied shorty slalom skis on ice with them, and then used them in the backcountry to hike with. For my BD Crossbows the work just fine. For long backcountry hikes you should get something lighter, you hardcore groomed racer types stick with your 4 lb alpine boots. Also, the liners are thinner so expect you feet to be a bit colder than in alpine boots. One tip, remove the two screws on the front that hold the tongue cap down and put a drop of non permanent locktite on them. If you don't you will loose them at some point. |

| Happy Feet 01-02-08 |
| Robert Stianche Jr. (6): |
| I've just had a pleasant surprise with these boots. Hmmmm, Most comfortable boot I've ever owned, OUT OF THE BOX. Wow. I like the upright stance and feel of this boot. The three settings, Walk, Forward and Upright make life easy. This is the first boot I've ever owned that I was able to leave the boot in the lock down position ALL DAY, plenty of toe room in the box, More Happy Feet., Easy to adjust and very responsive on the inbounds with hard pack.. I was leary of the response coming from a boot with a 120 shell hardness, but that was put to rest quickly. There seems to be just a little more width in the pad area of your foot, which translates into comfort, without being sloppy...I can't wait to hit Alf's or Honey Comb Canyon to really test the worthiness of this boot. In PA it has my vote. |
