Description of Garmont Mega-Ride Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Men's:
Step into the Garmont Men's Mega Ride Alpine Touring Boot and prepare for feather-light tours, awesome freeride strength, and amazing comfort. The G Fit3 liner incorporates a lace-up system for a close fit and three different foam densities with a heavily padded tongue and cuff for support and responsiveness. The lower ultra-light magnesium buckles use a serrated ice-breaker pin to cut right through hours of frozen build-up. The Mega Ride holds as Garmont's lightest four-buckle alpine touring boot, so lock in to either your Dynafit or AT bindings and get out there. NOTE: Be sure to check out our sizing chart for optimal fit.
Bottom Line: Lap everyone on the way up and on the way down.
Finally, my feet have found a new home. having been used to my old Scarpa Denali's, this boot is a blessing to find better ski performance and lighter weight. The weight saving alone was it's biggest improvement, but I was very pleased with the ski performance in all conditions.
When they say light, they mean it - this is featherweight compared to alpine and even many teleboots. It was easy to dial in the fit, and skis pretty well, considering the lack of beef. If the snow is good, you don't enough know it is a light AT boot - if things are manky, you definitely need to work to stay forward. All in all a good choice for AT.
