Named after La Sportiva's iconic Stratos full carbon fiber boots, the Stratos pack is designed as the perfect complement to those boots (or any others) on race day (or any others).

The pack has big finger loops on the main zippers so you can open and clo..

The original 100% 3k Twill carbon-fiber boot, the Stratos EVO, is the result of years of research and development by La Sportiva and its winning skimo team. At only 558g (1lb 3.7oz) without the liner, these are the lightest boots on the market that fully cover the liners so you don't end up with wet feet after booting or skinning through powder.

Short of nailing your feet to your skis, this is as light as you’re going to get. The Hi-Cube is the culmination of La Sportiva’s years of experience making the Stratos line of skimo racing boots.

Compliant with all ISMF regulations, the La Sportiva RSR rando race skis are extremely light and responsive. Floppy noodles they aren't, as the Italians craft a carbon fiber torsion box around the ultra lightweight Paulownia wood core, using Formula One influenced construction techniques. This provides an exceptional torsional rigidity in a ski light enough to win world cup ski mou..

The best of both! La Sportiva combined the lightness and stiffness of the Hi-Cube cuff with the easy-fitting, comfortable Sytron lower. This makes the Raceborg an excellent race boot that walks and skis like a dream.
