I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

AFS 8000 Mountaineering Boot

AFS 8000 Mountaineering Boot

Description

Introducing the AFS 8000 Mountaineering Boot by Asolo – an exceptional choice for technical mountaineering. This boot may be lightweight, but it certainly does not compromise on performance. With its Pebax shell, it is incredibly stiff and strong, ensuring the utmost durability. Plus, the unique shell-cuff-tongue design offers the necessary sensitivity for comfortable hiking and climbing. As an added layer of protection, Asolo has encased the Pebax shell with a high-density Pebax Asoframe, ensuring lasting performance.

The removable inner boot is equipped with a velveteen lining and Thinsulate insulation to keep your feet warm, even in subzero temperatures. Furthermore, both the shell and lining have separate lace closures, allowing for a customized and snug fit like none other.

Asolo has incorporated an Asoframe midsole made of injected carbon fiber. This not only makes the boot stable and supportive but also keeps it lightweight. For enhanced comfort, a microporous rubber heel insert is included, ensuring you can stay on your feet all day without discomfort. The Vibram nilgiri dual-color sole not only provides excellent traction on all types of terrain but also offers a dual-density platform for increased comfort. Additionally, the AFS 8000 is compatible with step-in crampons.
