SCARPA Ribelle HD Lite Boots

Setting the bar for lightweight mountain footwear, the SCARPA Ribelle Lite HD combines the efficiency and agility of the Dynamic Tech Roll (DTS) System with a lighter, more flexible upper than its cousin, the Ribelle HD. The DTS system features an enhanced rocker profile under the ball of the foot that significantly increases walking efficiency, resulting in substantial energy savings during long days in the mountains. The driving concept for the Ribelle family was pairing the protection of a boot with the nimbleness of a trail runner. Its 2D polyurethane midsole is 20 percent lighter than regular PU but provides outstanding shock absorption. Paired with a Vibram sole, this design inspires confidence when tackling technical ground. The Microtech all-synthetic upper is backed by an HDry waterproof breathable membrane, providing protection and support for heavier loads in rugged mountain terrain. This is an outstanding boot that crosses over from mountaineering to rugged backpacking and off-trail
