Summary: The Mega-Lite is an ultra-light
weight boot designed for ski mountaineers and rally racers
and those whose main priority is weight, but without a compromise
in skiability. This Dynafit compatible boot offers excellent
downhill performance in a lightweight package.
Available in the US for the first time this season,
the Mega Lite has been tested for several seasons in Europe.
It is the lightest boot in Garmont's ski mountaineering
line, yet its flex is somewhat stiff. For those who like
to keep it light for all day peak-bagging tours with a Dynafit
setup, this could be your boot.
Looking for a lower priced alternative? Consider the Dynamite which comes with a Padlock liner instead.

The Mega Lite is the state of the art in
a lightweight ski mountaineering boot. Dynafit-compatible,
it is one of the lightest boots in the world. It is designed
for the most weight-conscious ski-mountaineers and rally racers
who require downhill skiing performance with ultra-light go-fast
touring comfort. |
Backcountry magazine: "If you're a gram-counting
racer, the Garmont Mega Lite is a bit rotund compared to
the F1 and TLT Race. However, if you want a full-featured,
lightweight boot for all-around backcountry skiing, the
Mega might be a better choice over the bellowed F1 and minimalist
Race."
Couloir magazine: "Garmont did not conceive
the Mega-Lite as a race-dedicated boot, and consequently
it will not vie for the lightest-of-the-light award. What
it does do is to provide a fully capable touring boot that
is more than at home on the starting grid of a rando rally."
"...Lighter and slightly stiffer than the Dynamite,
this day-glow boot is for tech aficionados looking for a
fast boot to conquer tours, spring descents and serious
mountaineering terrain- not to mention the occasional race
podium."
