La Sportiva Stratos Hybrid Boot

Whether used for training, demanding traverses, or far-out ski mountaineering objectives, the Stratos Hybrid from La Sportiva is up for the task. Borrowing the cuff from the ultra-high-end Stratos VI, the Stratos Hybrid sports an easy-to-use ski/walk mechanism that allows for refreshingly quick transitions and increased reliability when compared to La Sportiva legacy systems. Bushings are used to connect the cuff with the lower shell that features La Sportiva's Anti-Wear system, helping provide a frictionless feel while ensuring your investment doesn't prematurely wear out. Unlike its higher-end sibling, the Stratos Hybrid uses a carbon-infused Grilamid lower specially made for La Sportiva, providing a durable and rigid platform that has a more palatable cost. S4 binding inserts are on hand to allow for seamless entry into Ski Trab bindings while the dual-density FriXion sole strategically combines harder and stickier rubber compounds for the best combination of grip and durability. Built for dedicated mountaineers and aspiring racers, the Stratos Hybrid from La Sportiva is made for those with lofty ambitions.
