“High performance skiers need a boot that allows them to charge, its the bottom like”….truer words have never been spoken.
Chris Davenport gives his seal of approval to the SCARPA Freedom RS. If you want a boot that allows you to get out in the backcountry with ability to tour and climb while not sacrificing performance, then this may be the boot for you.
PRICE TAG: $829
“Take an award-winning, big-mountain, all-muscle driver like the Freedom SL and tune it up, Of course! Meet the Freedom RS! First we retune the cuff in a stiffer polyamide material for less lateral flex and more control. We bump the forward flex up to 130 and use a custom liner — thermo-moldable in the lower and a race-inspired, reinforced upper. The “Mountain Plus” sole mates with tech-style bindings, but can be swapped for the “Piste,” a straight-up alpine sole. Enormous range of movement in walk mode, more control than your mother-in-law wants at Thanksgiving, and the same reliable hardware we use on the SL – Freedom RS. Get ready to send. “
