Scarpa Spirit 3 Alpine Touring Ski Boot - 2006

Pros:
Very comfortable fits a little higher volume than the Denali XT. Best boot I have ever been in for walking all day.
Cons:
Disappointed in the ski performance. A bit to sloppy for fat skis. They are fine on easy powder slopes, but get them in the steeps or in some tough snow and you are fighting to keep your skis in order.

This is now my do it all boot, very lightweight and stiff. I have used the Adrenaline's in the past and they are heavier and slightly more stiff. The wider toe box, better touring ability and compatibility with Dynafit bindings is what pushed me towards these. Overall I am very pleased with this boot. Could come with the optional stiffer tounge and spoiler for the price you pay (expensive!).

I upgraded from the Scarpa Matrix this year and have found these boots to be a bit stiffer with an improved tongue. I also would prefer a stiffer tongue but for the weight of these boots they have performed well and are supporting enough for my 6'4" 200 pound frame. For a wider foot these boots are a better fit for me over other brands. Be sure to have the liner heat molded and you're set!

Dynafit lightness. Great boots. Prefer the wraparound liner to Garmonts liner that has a touring. I chose these over the Megarides on this feature alone. I like the Megarides buckles better though, something about the ratchet system doesn't feel as reliable as the buckles. Skiing these is nice as long as you don't push to hard in them. If looking for a more aggressive set up Go for a beefier system than the Dynafit.
