SCARPA Alien 3.0 Boot

A third Alien has landed! And this one is not cheap like the 1.0. That’s because SCARPA used 100% carbon fiber in both the upper and lower shell, shedding hundreds of grams in the process. The result is a skimo racing machine, built for serious competitors. And also folks like us who enjoy touring in carbon boots for the amazing walk mode and stiff downhills. In that respect this is the best carbon boot yet, since the integrated gaiter keeps out the snow when you’re breaking trail, obviating the need for gaiter accessories or fancy pants (admittedly we’ll still wear fancy pants).

SCARPA integrated the BOA system from other Alien boots, providing the most snug forefoot fit in category. They also kept the amazing Vibram UFO soles that have proven durable across so many miles of the Wasatch and beyond. Also notably, the Alien 3.0 is the first all-carbon boot to use Dynafit Quick Step inserts, speeding up those step-in transitions. This is the new boot to lust after or buy and enjoy.

• Water-resistant gaiter is integrated into the shell to keep snow off your liner and toes.
• UFO 3.0 sole offers 360° of traction with extra sensitivity in the toe for rock moves.
• Race 2.0 liner from Intuition incorporates three different thermos-moldable foams.
• BOA closure system fits snugly around your foot and stays locked all day long.
• Carbon Cuff technology contours to your leg and has removable EVA foam calves.
• Pebax® tongue protects the toe from impact, absorbs vibration, and keeps out snow.
• A-Light ski/walk mode lever is a quick release system that integrates with the cuff.
• Dyneema locking cord is finely adjustable for calf hold and forward flex resistance.
• Metal hooks for the locking cord evenly distribute forces while being friction free.
