The best backcountry trails are often far from the trailhead and to get there we wear Scarpa Gea alpine hiking boots. These hiking boots combine a comfortable 102mm last with straps holding the heel, which eliminates chafing and walking mode with 61° range of motion which will help us walk along any trace on the skin which we can find. Add here a light but the powerful Pebax body design and controlled flexibility of the 100 Flex and we have a boot we can trust to get us there and down with enough energy to do it all again.
