Gear Review: Scarpa Maestrale RS Ski Boot

The Maestrale RS revolutionizes AT skiing, blurring the lines between freeride skiing and alpine touring, the new Maestrale RS and women's Gea were redesigned for Fall 2014. An all-new ski/walk mechanism makes switching from downhill to tour mode super easy, and also results in a more robust overall system. Range of motion is 37 degrees, impressive for a boot with a 120 flex index and a weight of 3 pounds, 7 ounces.
