Scarpa Hurricane Pro Alpine Touring Boot - Men's
Definitely Recommend - YES!
By Stephen Koch
Ranked #8 - Alpine Touring Boots
April 7, 2010
The Hurricanes are a wonderfully stiff, light and WARM boot that are also comfortable with an even flex. I had been using Garmont Radiums and was always wanting more responsiveness from them. I rocked a pair of Solomon Czar's with the Hurricanes and had no problem driving the skis with ease. There is a minor con to be aware of with these boots, which is why I gave a rating of 4 stars vs. 5. The buckles get stuck under the tongue of the boot. This is an inconvenience that can be overcome with a simple system of holding the buckles out when bringing the tongue back. The color is not my favorite and I may even spray paint them black or a different color to mute them a bit. As far as a light weight ski boot that drives even the biggest skis, you can't go wrong with the Hurricane.
