Scarpa Skookum

£480.00

Another new additon for 2008, the Skookum combines the Dynafit-compatible Spirit 4 lower with the Hurricane upper-cuff to create a hard-charging free-touring boot. Now you can have Dynafit efficiency with optimal power. The Skookum is the reason you mounted those fattys with Dyanfits!

Alpine touring meets King Kong! The most powerful touring boot: charge without question, climb without complaint.

Backcountry Mag: "The Skookum turned a lot of heads, and it's not hard to see why: four buckles, rockered sole, Dynafit compatibility, and a Booster power strap. 'If you want stiff and Dynafit,' extolled one of our editors, 'it's hard to imagine a beefier boot.' Sold with the alpine-style Intuition Speed Pro liner, the Skookum offers increased rigidity in ski mode - especially with the Booster strap - and provides all-day warmth. Like the Spirit 4, it features interchangeable ski and touring tongues. More powerful testers felt the boot wasked out laterally on hard driving turns (in-bounds), but assailed the comfort and consistency of the walk mode and touring ergonomics."
