Why choose the Scarpa Gea RS?
The Scarpa Gea RS is a standout for skiers who prioritize versatility and safety. It’s lightweight enough for efficient skinning and touring but stiff enough for powerful, controlled descents. The inclusion of RECCO technology and a well-engineered closure system make this a top choice for serious backcountry skiers who need performance without added bulk.
- Grilamid Shell and Cuff - This special Polyamide offers a good compromise between stiffness and rebound, allowing a gradual transmission of the impulses from the boot to the ski.
- Scarpa Cayman Pro Sole - Vibram sole made with TOP85 compound that offers great durability and flex.
- Web Frame Design - Specific sunburst design on the heel area that alternates different thicknesses in the shell wall. This offers support in the key area of the boot while saving weight.
- Speed Lock Plus - The Ski/Walk mechanism is easy to unlock and lock thanks to the spring that improves the function of the lever. This walk mode does not comprise a connecting rod, meaning whilst walking there is little to no friction.
- Air Ventilation - Ventilation on the cuff, laminated with Out-Dry technology, which allows air to circulate while keeping the liner dry at all times.
- Wave Closure System - Exclusively for Scarpa, the wave delivers two buckles' security with only the weight of one.
- HRS Strap - The Heel Retention System allows for great security and performance when skiing and keeps its position in the walking phase. It can also be micro-adjusted for the perfect hold.
- Thor Buckle and Rack - Made from a magnesium alloy to keep the weight down with a tour lock lever to prevent the buckle from undoing completely in walk mode.
- Evo Tongue - Made from Pebax, the tongue is designed geometrically to flex naturally when walking but provides downhill performance and power when the boot is secured for skiing.
