The Lange XT3 120 is the best we've tested for downhill-optimized performance. For someone who spends most of their time riding chairs or other mechanized access, it's a great choice. It's also optimal for those that typically engage in short tours, boot packs, and "sidecountry" touring. It is one of a few available that will work with tech-style touring bindings and with resort alpine bindings &#40;the resort bindings must be "GripWalk" compatible&#41;. Our lead test editor and full-time backcountry ski guide has used them for day-to-day guiding, where comfort, downhill performance, and warmth are his biggest considerations.
The weight and lack of touring mobility will narrow the appeal of these boots. They don't tour nearly as well as any other option we assess. We do not recommend them for big days or technical tours. That said, if you're a fan of going into the backcountry for short jaunts and want excellent downhill performance, where the uphill isn't as much of a concern, this is a top recommendation. We've seen people take these exact boots on 8000 vertical feet walkabouts. It isn't recommended and is more a testament to those testers' grit than to the efficiency of the boot. Nonetheless, almost anything is possible.

Nice!  Properly fitting boots are the most important piece of gear.  I also have the Lange XT3….140 version.

I know new skis excite most more than boots, but I’m super stoked for my new, properly fitted boots. Boots that are properly fit are the real key to great days ripping the slopes.

 The main thing in this boot is the walk mechanism. So it's been beefed up. The full hiking system is metal on metal connections, so really strong, we're back in ski mode and then, when you are releasing it up, if it comes, hopefully you can see it. It actually lifts up out in the way, so you pull 53 degrees range of motion and then locking back in the ski mode

 But this one's nice and comfy available in a few different flex options, and it's just a great offering again making it more solid. When it's back in ski mode or like mechanisms, and so I'm gon na give this one - [ Music, ] 

 Also, quite a good loop on the back to help leave your heel down. Overall, it's what you come to expect from laying the same fit as you're always going to feel than most of their boots. But this one's nice and comfy available in a few different flex options, and it's just a great offering again making it more solid.

 Also, we have grip, walk soles. You have buckle letters with Therese cooks on the end. The main thing in this boot is the walk mechanism. So it's been beefed up

Lange XT 3 Review - 2021

  Custom insoles solved all of that and they are plenty comfortable for a resort or backcountry day, both of which I've experienced in these.  Overall very happy that they are capable of everything I have thrown at them; groomer, bumps, powder, bootpack, & skinning.

If you don't mind the extra weight in the backcountry, these boots are exceptional.  Been about a month and a half dozen ski days so far, two of those at Silverton.  I found the walk mode switch to be more low profile than other comparable boots, but found it more tricky to confirm they're locked into ski mode.  The insoles that came with the boot did not work for me, I have higher arches than average and had discomfort almost immediately and throughout the first day

Heavy, but strong versatility for all terrain & conditions

This is a great boot! Bought Because previous boots had never fit me well but these fit like A glove! Wore them for a trip to Whistler, BC we skied 6 days in a row. My feet were warm and comfortable every single day! Right out of the box! I ski mostly black diamonds so they have the comfort and versatility to shred like a pro! 10/10 would recommend!

Comfort

This boot is not a super light climber or racer, but is unapologetic in its intentions:  A little more work on climbs in exchange for fully controlled shredding on descents

Maximum Descent Performance

Was looking for this boot and found it for an awesome price on St. Bernard. Thanks for the quick ship and friendly service.

Just what I needed

Budget Pick

The top-scoring Scarpa F1 LT is exactly tied for our highest award. As a result, we grant two of these highest awards. We couldn't pick one over the other if we tried. Both boots are excellent and carefully balanced, and both fit a broad array of foot shapes. Both are also suitable for all-around, day-to-day backcountry skiing. The F1 is for those that lean towards uphill efficiency, while the Tecnica is optimized slightly more for downhill. The F1 is among the lightest and most nimble in our test but performs on the downhill like the bigger kicks. 
The Tecnica will go downhill better, be a little warmer, and is more durable. The F1 is lighter and goes uphill better. Either one is an excellent choice. Choose the F1 LT for optimal uphill performance and realize that your ski pairing might be limited. The F1 LT is nimble enough to climb rocks and drive a stick shift &#40;not that we'd recommend either&#41; and then ski down, at a metered speed, anything you might encounter out there.

 Usual disclosure at this point, I paid for these boots with my own money and I am not affiliated with Scarpa. If these boots look a little bit worn out, it's because I've been using them for about a year and a half now. So they have seen some wear, seen some really interesting use situations, noticed some positives and some negatives about them, but overall quite a good boot. In terms of features of the boot, taking a look here, one thing you might notice right off the bat is that there are no lower buckles and on the upper part of the boot a lot of straps, not a lot of metal

 These do retail for just under a thousand Canadian dollars, which admittedly is a little bit steep, but if you can afford it, I would recommend it. But yeah, overall rating, these are a pretty good pair of boots and I'm gonna keep using them. In any case, that's it for now. Happy trails!

 LT means light. They are lightweight touring boots made for fast and light type of missions, longer trips, and generally just when you don't want to be carrying around bricks on your feet. Scarpa manufactures ski touring boots for many different audiences, from the more classic Scarpa Mistrali, quite a lot heavier than this, to all the way on the other end for ski mountaineering athletes with their Alien series, which are incredibly light. The F1 LT here is kind of in the middle

 Generally, just the heavier boot you go, the more support there is and the more you can get away with. One other downside is the cost. These do retail for just under a thousand Canadian dollars, which admittedly is a little bit steep, but if you can afford it, I would recommend it. But yeah, overall rating, these are a pretty good pair of boots and I'm gonna keep using them

Gear Review | Scarpa F1 LT, Backcountry Touring Ski Boots

 Incredibly well better than my fishers. I felt i loved those fisher traverse boots that we were using, but i felt like the fit was just too generic and once the liners started packing out, like i just lost all kind of hold. I guess on my foot and these feel much much more like a crafted italian uh slipper around my foot. So that's what we're gon na be skiing on

 I guess on my foot and these feel much much more like a crafted italian uh slipper around my foot. So that's what we're gon na be skiing on. This will be my light boot for 2021, the scarpa f1 lt 

 You know just find a way to shape some weight and lo and behold, the f1 and the alien had a baby, and it is called the f1 lt, and this will be my primary uh touring boot this year, substantially lighter than the f1 uh with my footbeds. In i weighed these at ju like right at a thousand grams, so that shaves a good you know half pound off uh off each boot. I think yeah about half pound uh. They feel great

 I say i thought to myself: if only they would make this boot in just a little bit. Lighter construction, give it like a carbon cuff.

Scarpa F1 LT // The Hot New Lightweight Backcountry Boot

 As a small man, these feel stiff enough for most conditions. The torsional rigidity is great, when edging on firm snow they feel solid. On firm snow with no surprises they ski great, 50° hop turns no problem. Torsional rigidity that inspires confidence as I make my way down the classic Briggs/Stettner route on the Grand Teton

 I have found it easy to open and close the cuff and see no need to mod the cam. I can even close the upper cuff without moving my pant gaiter up for short descents where I don’t care to tighten the power strap and adjust the tongue into place.

The F1 LT comes in at an advertised weight of 990 grams in a 27.0 compared to the 920 grams for an Alien RS, which begs the question: what do you get from these additional 70 paperclips/ grams?

Proper rock climbing, Nez Perce, the F1 LT excels as an alpine climbing tool. Photo: Clark Henarie
