Garmont Radium Alpine Touring Boot - Women's
High Performance Touring Boot
By Kim Havell
Ranked #47 - Alpine Touring Boots
May 14, 2009
To date, this is one of the most powerful and light touring boots on the market for women. It is easy to put on and take off- a consideration on cold days or at altitude. It is also extremely easy to put in walk or ski mode- with no forward flexion necessary to put it into forward flex. It is extremely comfortable and it's weight to performance ratio is phenomenal. A great boot in which to scramble on ridges or to ice-climb or to perfect a great turn. Reliable in the steeps, strong for turn initiation, and it provides great comfort. A solid performer for the backcountry, powder, steeps, and resort skiing.
On sizing, found this a bit tricky. I am a 24.5 and found the 24 shell with the 24.5 liner to be a bit too constricting. This boot does not pack out quickly but is comfortable from day 1. Recommend getting your true size for the shell...or even a 1/2 size larger.
