Plastic rules.

Garmont plastic telemark boots are lightweight, warm, and waterproof. They have toasty, comfortable, removable inner boots for quick and easy drying. The shells close with quick, glove-friendly buckles. And with Garmont Nexus technology, they have the forward flex of broken-in leather with the security and lateral control of an alpine boot.

What is superior about our plastic technology: - Nexus over-injection for sensitivity and edge control - Proper flex-zone location for comfort and rear ski stability - Different stiffness of plastic dialed for the functions of different components - Pebax for comfort and flexibility in a wide range of temperatures

Nexus technology:

Garmont's Nexus technology means an easy forward flex with awesome torsional rigidity. Through an over-injection process, two separate injections of different stiffness' of Pebax are permanently fused together. Softer Pebax in the flex zone and stiffer Pebax injected around this flex zone. No break-in, no toe-pinch

Flex zone location:

Garmont boots have been painstakingly designed to locate the forward flex correctly, over the metatarsals. Through flex and flex placement, Garmont plastic boots have superior rear-ski control, keeping the forefoot firmly and comfortably planted on the rear ski. Without toe pinch.

Four different plastics:

We use 4 degrees of stiffness of plastic: two in the double-injected foot, another in the cuff, and another in the tongue. Through fine-tuning and testing we program stiffness or softness into the boot to optomize the function of that component. The result is a superbly balanced flex.

Pebax:

Garmont boots are manufactured of Pebax, the lightest, least temperature- sensitive plastic available for injection molding. Pebax is more expensive than traditional Alpine-boot materials; it's the only plastic that we have found that can maintain its sweet forward flex on the coldest days.

Fit and comfort:

Fit and comfort are critical. Garmont fit elements: - Toe room for uninhibited forward flex, and warmth - Superior rear-foot control and ankle support for secure ski control - No forefoot hardware to pinch the foot and conduct cold - Proper buckle placement for foot stability with free ankle flex - Specific men's and women's lasts for comfort and performance - Our last is telemark specific, not a running shoe or alpine boot adaption. - Heel pockets are appropriately narrow and supportive to anchor when flexing forward or skiing parallel

Touring:

Garmont boots are lightweight, comfortable, and secure for hiking or skinning as well as skiing down. Our plastic boots have these versatile features: - A free-hinging walking mode for a more natural stride - "Memory" buckles that don't lose their adjustment when opened - Shell design facilitates easy entry and exit - Lightweight waterproof shell for warm, dry tours
