Description of Garmont Radium Alpine Touring Boot - Women's:
|
When they’re in walking mode, the Garmont Women’s Radium Alpine Touring Boots’ upper cuffs flex fore and aft so you can scramble up rocky ridgelines; when you clamp these babies into ski mode, the Radiums become steely-eyed and stiff for the steeps. Garmont’s lightweight shell design (new for ’09) uses an overlapping lower shell and multi-injected cuff for consistent flex on your ski-mountaineering ascent and torsional stiffness on the descent. The women’s-specific G-Fit Rapid liner has a plastic-reinforced tongue and is thermo-formable so you get the best of both comfort and support worlds, and the low-profile lacing system lets you adjust the fit on long tours. Silver fibers in the lining retain body heat and repel odor.

|
Bottom Line: Smooth on the uphill, sturdy on the down.

| Best so far! 01-30-09 |

| I've tried numerous Scarpa and Garmont AT boots, and these are my favorites! Very stiff, so great at the resort, but comfy enough for the backcountry. Be sure to get them custom molded at your local ski shop (avoid doing it in your oven at home- way better to do it on their fancy boot liner warming machine that shoots the warm air into the inside of the liner).
I am a shoe size 8, and have the 24.5.
Also- these boots are better for high volume feet. I have low volume feet, and had to have a thick custom insole put inside to make 'em work. |

| High Performance Touring Boot 05-14-09 |
Kim Havell (54):  |
| To date, this is one of the most powerful and light touring boots on the market for women. It is easy to put on and take off- a consideration on cold days or at altitude. It is also extremely easy to put in walk or ski mode- with no forward flexion necessary to put it into forward flex. It is extremely comfortable and it's weight to performance ratio is phenomenal. A great boot in which to scramble on ridges or to ice-climb or to perfect a great turn. Reliable in the steeps, strong for turn initiation, and it provides great comfort. A solid performer for the backcountry, powder, steeps, and resort skiing.
On sizing, found this a bit tricky. I am a 24.5 and found the 24 shell with the 24.5 liner to be a bit too constricting. This boot does not pack out quickly but is comfortable from day 1. Recommend getting your true size for the shell...or even a 1/2 size larger. |
