Technologies
Activ Fit System
System that develops different lasts, soles and models designed specifically for women and men feet. The models are designed and constructed for the best performance in various outdoor activities. Thanks to its experience and research, Scarpa offers absolute comfort. When we say "absolute", we think of a subjective benefit becoming objective comfort. This line establishes a high quality standard for better performance, comfort, style and durability.
SockFit-XT
The tongue and Flex Point are constructed in a single piece of elastic fabric: breathable, waterproof and resistant.
Vibram Mont
The Vibram® Mont compound formula has been designed to optimize performance in mountaineering and has been used to conquer the world's highest peaks. The Vibram® Mont compound offers maximum reliability on the most difficult terrain at low temperatures, its hardness is a key factor to always achieve maximum compatibility with crampons.
Gore-Tex®
Gore-Tex® fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex® products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate. Gore-Tex® in a 3-layer construction offers a combination of enhanced durability and high breathability, while the 2-layer laminate provides lightweight weather protection.
