The Scarpa Alien 4.0 is the nec plus ultra of skimo racing boot technology.
The Scarpa Alien 4.0',s shell and shaft are made from hand-laid carbon fiber. This provides the best combination of strength and rigidity at a ridiculously low weight, with the Alien 4.0 weighing just 1.26kg/pair, 27MP.
The carbon fiber shaft has Pebax overlay front panels for a contoured closure and progressive power transfer when skiing.
With a massive 76° shank rotation, the Scarpa Alien 4.0 offers natural stride comfort, regardless of the flexibility of your ankles, so you can gain altitude as quickly as possible.
The shaft and shell use Dyneema lacing plus the BOA system to provide a quick, reliable closure and sufficient control on the downhills.
The BOA® floating closure system is located under the Light Shield Tech gaiter, ensuring quick, easy and secure fit transitions.
The patented BOA Fit system consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, super-strong lightweight laces, and low-friction lace guides. The Alien 4.0 system is mounted on a Pebax tongue protector panel and compresses into the vamp as it is tightened.
