The F1 LT WMN from Scarpa inherits the ascent DNA of the Alien RS: very light (930 grams per shoe), incredible shaft rotation (72 degrees), and a sporty fit (100 millimeter last). However, Scarpa has taken the downhill performance of a lightweight shoe to the next level. This is made possible by the 3D-Lambda frame – a kind of skeleton on the shell and shaft – and the Carbon Grilamid LFT material. Both increase flex and torsional stiffness while reducing shell thickness, resulting in greater strength and lower weight. The progressive flex is arguably unique in this weight class, ensuring precise ski control.

The Gaiter Shell construction forgoes a fixed tongue and is instead equipped with waterproof Lite Shield Tech fabric, effectively preventing snow and moisture from entering. At the same time, the Boa Fit System over the foot, a single Fast Buckle Closure strap at the leg, and the Velcro Power Strap above provide excellent support and guarantee even pressure distribution – without pressure points. All three can be quickly, individually, and precisely adjusted.

The Speed Lock LT ski-walk mechanism allows you to set three different forward lean positions – efficiently and quickly. This makes switching between ascent and descent a breeze.

The Intuition Tour LT WMN liner ensures a precise yet comfortable fit. The liner is thermoformable, meaning it can be customized. Even with prolonged use, your feet remain warm and free from pressure points.

At the bottom of the F1 Lite WMN, the Vibram UFO LT sole offers maximum grip and sensitivity on rock while featuring large, self-cleaning grooves. The right shoe for demanding uphill and downhill conditions.
