By Abigail Scott
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.

Why We Like The Phantom Tech Mountaineering Boot:
The Scarpa Men's Phantom Tech Mountaineering Boot is an exceptional choice for a wide range of mountain activities, from regular mountaineering to intense ice climbing. It boasts a HDry waterproof, breathable membrane, which is laminated with a combination of PU Tek and S-Tech fabrics. This combination not only makes it exceptionally rugged but also highly waterproof, ensuring optimal performance in cold weather conditions.
One of the newest features of the Phantom Tech is Scarpa's flex seal gaiter equipped with a spiraling zipper closure. This innovative design helps to eliminate stress points when the boot flexes, resulting in increased comfort while hiking and climbing.
Beneath the durable waterproof gaiter, you'll find a Primaloft insulated boot with a carbon fiber insole and EVA cushioning for exceptional support on steep and moderate terrains. Additionally, the microporous EVA midsole adds gentle cushioning without compromising the boot's overall feel. The boot is further enhanced by the lightweight Vibram Precision Tech Roll sole, which provides durability and traction without adding unnecessary weight.
The Phantom Tech is designed to be compatible with both automatic and semi-automatic crampons, ensuring reliable grip on glaciers or when front-pointing on ice.

- Scarpa's lightest, most sensitive boot for demanding ice climbs
- Integrated gaiter offers waterproof protection and a snug fit
