A hand-laid carbon cuff over a Carbon Grilamid LFT shell gives a race boot torsional stiffness that a 785 g shell has no business having. On a 99 mm last with a Dyneema cord and BOA dial rather than buckles, the Scarpa Alien 1.0 transitions in one motion and skis a 75 mm ski with more authority than the weight suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Fit Review\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFit profile and recommendations

A hand-laid carbon cuff on a Carbon Grilamid LFT shell delivers torsional stiffness at 785 g per boot, and a cord and BOA closure with the Speedlock Lite lever makes transitions a single motion. What the Scarpa Alien 1.0 asks in return is a narrow foot, a shell that cannot meaningfully be punched, and a pin binding, because the Vibram UFO race sole meets no ISO norm. For racing and fast ski mountaineering it is hard to better; for a daily touring boot it is the wrong tool.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scarpa","offers":[{"title":"24","offer_id":48748265537693,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-24.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25","offer_id":48748265570461,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-25.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"26","offer_id":48748265603229,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-26.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"27","offer_id":48748265635997,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-27.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"28","offer_id":48748265668765,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-28.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"29","offer_id":48748265701533,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-29.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"30","offer_id":48748265734301,"sku":"12176\/501.2-Cbn-30.0","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/12176-501-2_00_ALI-1.0_Car_12176-501-2.jpg?v=1787333437","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/products\/scarpa-alien-1-0-touring-boot","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
