Features and composition
Chassis
- 3D cross-country skiing without skating: The injected plastic chassis improves heel support and offers better torsional rigidity for optimized power transmission.
- Flex skating: Control and energy transmission combined with good lateral stability.
- Glassfiber Loaded: Composed of injected fiberglass to maintain lightness, this material improves the mechanical properties of the shoe by providing increased torsion and flex.
Thermal regulation
- ClimaSalomon™ Waterproof Membrane: Salomon's highly waterproof ClimaSalomon™ Waterproof membrane has achieved a result of 100,000 mm on the Schmerber scale, while a value above 30,000 mm is already considered suitable for extreme conditions.
- Waterproof zip: Designed to better protect feet from snow and water, this waterproof zip covers the laces and keeps feet dry longer.
Necklace
- Glassfiber Loaded: Composed of injected fiberglass to maintain lightness, this material improves the mechanical properties of the shoe by providing increased torsion and flex.
- Energyzer 2.0: This collar provides improved rear proprioception to help you maintain balance. The rear support allows you to ski longer by reducing fatigue in challenging conditions.
- EVA toe cap: The EVA padding inside the shaft provides exceptional comfort while ensuring maximum contact area for precise control.
Insole
- OrthoLite®
Footwear
- Fit performance 102: Medium width for optimal comfort, maximum foot support and a precise fit.
Lining material
- Thinsulate™ R 78%: This extremely insulating lining is made from at least 78% recycled materials to effectively protect the foot.
Outsole type
- Prolink Race Skate: This low-profile racing sole offers remarkable abrasion resistance and stiffness, maximizes power transmission and provides exceptional snow feel, in addition to ensuring optimal torsional rigidity for skate skiing.
Stem construction
- sensiFIT™: SensiFIT™ wraps the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, precise, and almost custom fit all around the foot.
