    When will we teleirs get a real 4 buckle boot from Scarpa? On that note, why do my "race" boots have a "walk" feature? Who cares about that AT crap, put a bellows on the front and call it good....

    Screw the AT boot, what about the new Ortovox transceiver? Sounds pretty freaking cool. Good to see that beacons are finally catching up to 1997 technology.
    A lot of people earn their turns. Some just get bigger checks.

    Footwerks in Cham has been putting the same fourth buckle setup on three buckle boots for a while. Idris did it to his.

    Good video.
    Like the ideas and design.
    Interesting hinged tongue - can keep the lower 2 buckles tight when hiking - also means that stiffness comes mostly from the upper cuff, and not the compression of the tongue by all four buckles.

    Alpine or AT soles like the Adrenaline, but again, 8 screws per boot to swap out.

    Not released till next fall, but would love to hear any secret tester feedback.

    Adrenalin or Tornado - will be buying the one that fits me best next year. Sweet.

    Not to worry, Walter, it's elasticized.

    For telemark racing... duh.
    Oh yeah, most Americans have no clue what AT/Tele racing is.

    I have a clue, I just dont care about those kind of races. On and for the record I dont think many people to do AT style races in Scarpa T-races. And if they do, they are dumber than I thought
