The basic premise behind Booster Straps is simple: your boots are designed to flex forward, why shouldn’t your power straps naturally allow that? Most stock power straps are constructed of static materials that have no capacity to turn your forward motion into energy.

Many light skiers find that ski mountaineering boots, often which utilize carbon in their construction, are stiff and unforgiving.

Specific to the GT, SCARPA added an instep buckle instead of a BOA, which adds d..
