Preview: Lange XT for BC

Even Lange is joining the backcountry next year with their announcement of the XT boot.

The XT has all the basic features you would expect in a randonnee boot, like a cuff that locks forward at ~20° but releases for walking comfort.

Preview: Garmont’s Power-Lite AT Boot Series

Borrowing elements from their welter weight Alpine Lite series, the shells will be built from Grilamid, a thinner and lighter but stronger PU based plastic. Overall stiffness of the shell is rated at 125, meaning it isn’t the stiffest boot on the market, but it’s hardly soft.
