The F1 LT Alpine Touring Boot is Scarpa's lightest ski boot that best-suits ski mountaineers and high-mileage backcountry tours. Carbon-infused Grilamid grants a forgiving 100 flex at a ridiculously low weight of two pounds and two ounces. Scarpa's 3D Lambda Torsion Frame maintains flex throughout the boot for enhances downhill performance. On the ascent, the boot's Speed Lock latch initiates an impressive range of motion for easy hiking. At the summit, a single buckle and Boa's glove-friendly dial help you transition quickly. The ultralight, ultra-breathable liner has a waterproof gaiter to keep comfortably dry when you're setting the skin track through deep powder.

Full Reviews
These are impressively light--I'm pretty sure I have hiking boots that weight more. I'm just getting started on touring so haven't tested them much on the downhill but they are decently stiff. However, there seems to be a potentially significant design flaw with the placement of the rivets that anchor the boa system over of the forefoot. They dig in right over the knuckle of your big toe. This was obvious right out of the box when I took the liners out during fitting and could already see the imprint of the rivet on the liner. I've temporarily fixed this by placing high density foam over that spot. A boot fitter might be able to do more about this but I doubt they'll want to punch anywhere near the rivet. For the money (and from this brand) I expected better.
