Argon Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Men's
Uploaded By:

Flag This Close

Garmont designed the Men’s Argon Alpine Touring Boot for backcountry skiers who run big skis and demand top-notch downhill performance in a touring-specific boot. The Argon’s stiff multi-injected, overlapping Pebax shell provides enough beef to drive fat skis inbounds or out, while remaining light enough for extended touring. Switch to walk mode for the skin up, then engage the 23.5-degree forward lean, crank down all four buckles, and cinch the power strap for as technical a descent as you can find. Customize this boot’s out-of-the-box performance fit with the included thermo-moldable G-Fit Rapid liner and go explore in comfort.

Bottom Line: From the resort to the backcountry, the Garmont Men’s Argon Alpine Touring Boot does it all.

Argon or Endorphin? I've almost made up my mind but...how does the stiffness compare? Is one more backcountry/mountaineering specific (which would make a better front sider/on-piste)? Are there any other major differances?

Garmont classifies the Endorphin as "Power Freeride" and the Argon as "Ski Mountaineering". If you're doing more inbounds stuff, the flex and design of the Endorphin will better fit your skiing style.

Boot sole length is 315mm on both and flex index is listed as "AT120" like Adrenalin or Radium.

flex definitely has a more bottomless feel in the overlap boots than on tongue design like adrenalin. stiffness wise, argon and adrenalin are the same. sizing should be the same, but the internal volume is a little different. argon is not as boxy and fits more precise in the forefoot.

I should clarify my question. The adrenaline is listed at 4

I should clarify my question. The adrenaline is listed at 4 pounds per boot and the argons at 4 pounds per pair. I am assuming that is an error?

I have heard that Garmont boots sizing is the same for the size

I have heard that Garmont boots sizing is the same for the size and its half size. Is it 29.0 and 29.5 are the same or is it that 28.5 and 29 are the same?

It is 29.0 and 29.5 that are the exact same shell size. The liner is different sizes, but once you thermo form it doesn't matter much. Scarpa is the half size adn the full size UP.
