Fall 2020 Products Coming Soon
F1 LT
New SCARPA F1 LT offers serious downhill chops in a ski boot under 1000 grams
At 990 grams and 100 flex, the F1 LT is a ski-touring boot that punches above its weight in power and skiability. Optimized for ambitious traverses, technical ski-mountaineering descents, or long days maximizing powder laps, the F1 LT combines ultralight features of the Alien ski-mountaineering race boots with a more versatile, backcountry-oriented design. It is SCARPA’s lightest weight alpine-touring boot. Power in such a lightweight package comes from both innovative materials and thoughtful design. The boot is built with Carbon Grilamid LFT, a Grilamid material infused with long carbon fibers which improves power and stiffness while retaining the progressive flex desired for the descent. A new upper cuff uses SCARPA’s 3D Lambda Torsion Frame, a design that employs a reinforced I-beam construction with raised ribs of Carbon Grilamid LFT to create lateral stability and downhill performance without having to add thickness and weight to the entire cuff. The Gaiter Shell construction system uses a new floating Boa closure on the lower boot with an integrated gaiter, providing a custom fit with no pressure points. A fast-buckle upper closure on the cuff pairs with a power strap. Together, these systems ensure quick transition times and improved skiability as well as comfort. Other details include a friction-free ski/walk mechanism with 72 degrees range of motion, three forward lean positions, a removable, customizable boot board, a 100 mm forefoot, an Intuition liner with anti-abrasion treatment around the toe box, and integrated Recco reflectors.
- Carbon Grilamid® LFT shell & cuff delivers incredible power to weight ratio
- 3D Lambda Torsion Frame increases lateral stability and downhill performance
- Speed Lock ski walk mechanism is strong, precise and easy to use
- Boa® Fit System for a fast and secure fit
- Waterproof gaiter system provides total snow protection
- New Zeppa increases ramp angle by 3.5°
- Price: $799 USD
Rush Mid GTX
New SCARPA Fall 2020 trail, mountain footwear showcases trends with light, nimble, versatile designs
The SCARPA Rush Mid GTX is a do-it-all trail shoe that combines an innovative trail-running inspired design with all the support and protection of light, waterproof hiker. Thoughtful and intuitive features set this boot apart in the emerging field of quiver-of-one hiking boots. One prominent new technology is called the SCARPA Interactive Kinetic System, a sole design that simultaneously increases traction and allows for more shock absorption on the trail. The IKS sole features five concave impact zones that compress and absorb energy as they touch down on the ground, allowing secondary lugs to then come in contact with the trail, further increasing traction. An all-synthetic upper with welded PU overlays for support helps the Rush Mid GTX stay extremely light and nimble, while an auto-fit collar and 3D-molded padding provide lightweight, dynamic ankle support.
- All-synthetic mid-cut upper of fabric and welded PU with a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining for lightweight, waterproof breathable protection and support
- SCARPA Free-dome IKS outsole with an enhanced rocker provides dynamic agility on the trail
- Reinforced toe box for protection
- Dual-density EVA midsole with TPU heel frame for cushion and support
- Sock-Fit construction reduces bulk and enhances fit
- Price: $179 USD
Drago LV
SCARPA adds to the climbing line with new models in Fall 20 for both ends of the performance spectrum
Created for ticking steep, technical boulders and difficult overhanging routes, the Drago LV pairs minimalist upper construction with power, support, and maximum sensitivity on the rock. A lower-volume version of the legendary Drago, the Drago LV offers a lower volume fit option for climbers wanting to access the features that have made the Drago the premier shoe used by athletes at the World Cup Bouldering level. The entire front of the Drago is wrapped in high-friction rubber, which provides a glove-like fit in an aggressively downturned and highly asymmetric design. The Drago is extremely precise in shallow pockets and on rounded edges, as well as for technical hooking. Power in such a minimal shoe comes from SCARPA’s patent-pending Power Connection Band, which pulls tension from the rear of the shoe to provide support in the toe area. The Drago LV also utilizes SCARPA’s new Pressure Absorbing Fit (PAF) heel, a design that reduces pressure on the heel without sacrificing any performance. This sophisticated construction creates a soft, form-fitting heel pocket that, when paired with reduced volume in key areas, creates an improved fit for climbers with low volume feet. The Drago LV continues to represent the pinnacle of climbing-shoe construction: specialized, meticulously hand-crafted and refined to perform at the highest level on cutting-edge boulder problems and steep sport routes.
- PCB-Tension™ active rand provides a lightweight power transfer
- 1/3 length Vibram® XS Grip 2 sole strategically puts the rubber only where you need it
- SRT structural toe wrap in M50 rubber provides support and friction
- PAF heel system improves fit and heel hooking performance
- Perfect for bouldering or overhanging sport routes
- Price: $189 USD
Spring 2021 New Product Showcase
Mojito Bio
The Mojito Bio is SCARPA’s first 100-percent biodegradable shoe, and one of the first fully biodegradable shoes in the outdoor category, earning a third-party certification as such from Intertrek. At the end of its life, 85 percent of this shoe will decompose after 450 days in a landfill. Bonus: It’s got all the classic mountain-inspired style of the regular Mojito. SCARPA spared no effort in sourcing all the right eco-friendly materials for this shoe.
- The Mojito Bio is made with a sugarcane-based EVA midsole that provides cushioning and is 100% biodegradable, while the outside uses a biodegradable natural rubber.
- Uppers are Bio Knit Fabric, a super breathable material made from bamboo-derived fibers.
- Stretch lining and laces are also bamboo-based. All other components have a vegetable base and construction uses water-based, non-polluting adhesives.
- The packaging is also recycled, of course.
- MSRP $179 USD
SCARPA Rapid
Perhaps the best all-around mountain shoe SCARPA has ever made, the Rapid lives at the junction of trail running and approach. This hybrid shoe is equally adept at ticking off-trail miles, boulder hopping, or scrambling moderate slabs. The all-synthetic upper is lightweight and highly breathable thanks to plenty of mesh but reinforced in critical areas with welded PU to provide support and durability. SCARPA’s Sock-Fit LW construction snugly wraps the midfoot for a precise fit with reduced bulk. The dual-density EVA midsole delivers a ride more akin to a trail running shoe, but a TPU arch insert adds torsion control, and SCARPA’s Dynamic Protection System insert in the forefoot increases trail protection, propulsion, and edging capability.
- The EVA midsole features a 6 mm drop and softer EVA inserts in the heel and forefoot to increase shock absorption.
- The Vibram® outsole features high-friction Megagrip rubber, an edging zone under the big toe for outstanding friction, and braking lugs in the rear.
- The 297-gram Rapid is the perfect choice for moving fast over mixed mountain terrain, adept at handling all conditions from groomed single track to endless talus fields to slabby scrambles.
- MSRP $149 USD
SCARPA Spin Infinity
Building on its award-winning Spin platform of running shoes, the Spin Infinity unveils the most cushioned trail running shoe to date from SCARPA. New for Spring 2021, the Spin Infinity excels at long distances and ultra racing. It offers exceptional lateral stability thanks to SCARPA’s Foot Stabilizer Control (FSC) frame, a firmer layer of EVA that encircles the perimeter of the midsole and also spans the arch area, providing lightweight stability and torsion control. With a highly cushioned 26/22mm stack height, the dual-density EVA midsole features a lower density base that provides exceptional impact absorption.
- This 4mm drop encourages an efficient stride, further enhancing the Spin Infinity’s long-distance capabilities.
- A Vibram® Velox Cross sole uses Megagrip rubber and 4mm lugs to optimize traction and grip.
- On the upper, a mesh and thermally welded PU upper with SCARPA’s Sock-Fit construction is light and breathable but still provides foot-wrapping support and a secure fit. This combination of upper and outsole package results in the perfect blend of weight savings, cushioning, support and traction – yielding a shoe that clocks in at a minimal 305 grams (men’s 42).
- A more rounded toe box and a higher-volume fit provides comfort for longer mileage and works for a variety of foot shapes.
- MSRP $149 USD
