SCARPA GEA LD 4.0 Aqua/Black

Product detailed description

The GEA LD model (or Maestrale in a skirt) is a proven model that impresses with its design, low weight and most importantly functionality. Model 4.0 is modified for even greater comfort of use. The whole concept of the skeleton and chimney ensures optimal stiffness and at the same time minimum weight thanks to the new ski/walk mechanism SPEED LOCK XT, switching between walking/downhill modes is much easier and more efficient. Another advantage is the possibility to adjust the angle of the kneecap individually according to the skier's requirements. The Mobility of the chimney is a great 60°, which allows you to extend your stride decently on flat parts and use the slide to the maximum and save energy. The skeleton, including the tongue, is made of Pebax® Rnew material, which is produced from a renewable natural material - castor oil. Pebax® Rnew does not lose its flexibility at low temperatures and still behaves the same, thanks to which the user does not lose precious energy when walking or downhill. The Scarpa® / Vibram® sole made of TOP85 compound offers excellent durability and grip. Complies with DIN ISO 9523 and all TLT bindings on the market. The CROSS FIT PRO FLEX TOURING inner boot is heat moldable and has excellent insulating properties and dries quickly. Includes laces for better foot fixation. Three lightweight 2x buckles with micro-adjustment and a plastic strap on the instep that keeps the foot in the right position during ascent and descent.

Technology:

• front-back range of chimney mobility: 60°
• foot width: 101 mm
• flex index: 100
• weight 1250g/1 shoe/size 25 mondo
• PEBAX® RNEW is an environmentally friendly, dynamic and durable material, ideal for use with minimal shell wall thickness and variable geometries. Provides high reliability for use in various conditions and terrain.
• SPEED LOCK XT - the mechanism for switching between ski/walk modes is easily unlocked and secured. The system is an improvement of Friction Free technology. There is no connecting "rod" between the bottom of the skeleton and the chimney, allowing for "frictionless" movement during walk mode.
• AXIAL ALPINE EVO – the possibility of slightly tilting the tongue to the side allows the shoes to be put on and taken off much better.
• WAVE CLOSURE SYSTEM – "Wave" is a new closure system made exclusively for SCARPA®. "Wool" provides the same strength as two classic buckles, significantly reducing the weight of the skeleton. A single buckle works in conjunction with a solid cable to ensure a uniform and secure pull, resulting in unmatched fit and performance.
• HRS STRAP – a strap in the instep area ending with a ratchet buckle increases stiffness in the tongue and at the same time, thanks to good fixation of the foot in the heel, increases performance when climbing.
• THOR RACK – the "ladder" of the calf clip is designed to effectively "wrap" the calf area during walking and downhill.
• POWER STRAP Finger – a new shape of the wide strap ending with a wide eye for easy handling and perfect pulling of the upper part of the chimney.

• ASYMMETRIC SPOILER XT – a removable spoiler that, thanks to its adjustable height, offers customizable support for the back of the chimney.
