Scarpa Tornado Pro Alpine Touring Boot
Beware of Flimsy Plastic!

I ordered a pair of these and before I even took them to the slopes I noticed a tear in the black plastic flap that attaches the lower buckles to the boot shell. Since sending these back to BC (who, by the way, were superb with making the return) I've noticed this same design on other Scarpa boots. I will never buy a pair of Scarpas that has this design [flaw]. Frankly, I'm a little surprised that Scarpa, whose products are generally stellar, manufactured such a weak piece of plastic on a pair of their $600+ boots. I went for the Hurricanes instead and have been incredibly satisfied...if you've got the few extra bills, go up a notch.
