Garmont Prophet Rapid Thermo Telemark Boot - Men's
Maybe you dreamt last night about an NTN tele boot that won 2010 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice, 2010 Skiing Magazine’s Official Ski Test Selection, and Powder Magazine’s 2010 Skier’s Choice awards. Or maybe you dreamt about monkeys singing barbershop-quartet music. If it was the former, you’ll be stoked on the Garmont Prophet Rapid Thermo Telemark Boot.
- Rapid Thermoformable liner boosts comfort and fat-ski leverage on high-speed turns
- Power Wrap shell uses a customized fit and allows your big toe to breathe without making the boot feel sloppy (room for the proverbial sixth toe)
- Overlap shell design follows contours of your foot and ankle and uses asymmetrical punching for the ankle bones, which means smooth response and fat-ski handling
- Round toe for easy walking and NTN system
- Asymmetric Ergo Bellows design for a progressive forward flex and precise ski control
- Deep heel-cup for comfort and for those with heel-spurs
- Replaceable nylon bellows-protector and injected bumpers on buckles and lower shell boost durability
Bottom Line: Well-hung (with 2010 awards, that is).
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I should add that Garmont's shell break puts the whole with the half (27 and 27.5 are the same shell), while Scarpa's break puts the half with the larger whole (27.5 and 28 are the same shell). Important to know if you're attempting (as I did) to order these without having tried them on.
Although this is Garmont's first attempt at an NTN boot, and although the other NTN brands (Scarpa and Crispi) have so far been unsuccessful in building a good, reliable boot, I think that Garmont is going to nail it on the first try. There are some great, well-thought-out features on these boots. The replaceable sole on the toe, the replaceable wedge to protect the boot from the ski, the rock-hard lock between walk and ski (Scarpa could learn something from this design), and amazingly light. If only the ones next to me fit...
Will these work in an AT binding like the Marker Duke, too?

Nope, this is just for the NTN tele system -- the only ntn boots that will work with dynafit are the scarpas with the dynafit toe and heel.

These look like screamin' boots, and I'm really impressed with Garmont (especially the boot's designer, Paul Parker) for their willingness to engage the telemark community in dialogue and to explain their product (see the many excellent discussions on telemarktalk.com). Unfortunately, because I live a thousand miles from a Garmont dealer, I crossed my fingers that 27.5 Scarpa would be reasonably close to 27.5 Garmont. This was the wrong thing to do--although my foot fits in a 27.5 Scarpa perfectly, my foot barely fits in the shell without the liner in the boot--way too tight for even a "performance fit." I'd be ordering another pair in a 28.5 right now, but Backcountry is out, so I guess I'm going back to Scarpa again this winter...
Change me.
