Why We Like The La Sportiva G-Tech Mountaineering Boot
La Sportiva believes that their new G-Tech Mountaineering boot might become the benchmark for technical mountaineering boots. This boot excels in balancing ultralight construction, durable materials, exceptional comfort, and elite performance for technical ice climbing and mountaineering.
The internal Core-Wrap Shell of the boot is designed with an overlap structure that effectively balances weight and warmth. Additionally, the innovative BOA Fit System allows easy adjustment of the lacing fastener even while wearing gloves.
The Ice-Trek Tread of the boot divides the outsole into two sections. The front part features Vibram Litebase, which provides excellent climbing grip while reducing overall weight. At the heel, there is Vibram Springlug, known for its superior comfort and shock absorption properties.
Here are some key details of the La Sportiva G-Tech Mountaineering Boot:
