Summary - The T3 is built for
long tours and skiing in gentle terrain. This is an extremely
lightweight boot that can turn 'em too.
Scarpa was the first to bring a lightweight plastic touring
boot to market. It seems that everybody has followed the trend
in order to keep up but Scarpa keeps going back to the drawing
board to improve these lightweight gems. Recent improvements
include: thermal moldable liners, increased torsional rigidity
with a dual-injection torsion beam, asymmetrical bellows which
gives the boot a natural flex and eliminates toe pinch, and
a "double lock" lean lever that allows you to lock the cuff
forward or backward. We recommend this boot if you spend most
of your time on long tours and and ski on boards with a waist
of 70mm or less. Anything more is just too much for the T3.
Like other Scarpa boots, the T3 fits a narrow to medium width
foot best. |
Holding its own as the backcountry
boot of choice, the Scarpa T3 is lightweight, comfortable and
manages to drive fat skis like no other boot its size. But lightweight
doesn't mean it can't perform on the downhill-it does. As the
tourer's dream comes true, the T3 has asymmetrical bellows for
a natural flex and a double-lock lean lever that lets you lock
the cuff forward or back. This year the Scarpa T3 has been improved
with custom-moldable liners, new micro-adjust buckles and a
removable spoiler with power strap for times when extra support
is a must.

Couloir: "Made for backcountry aficionados,
the T3 is everything the T2 is.and less. That is, one less
buckle, less cuff height, less stiff, and most importantly,
less weight. In bumps, 50 degree couloirs, icy slopes, and
breakable crusty muck, these boots deliver less control, unless
you've been weaned on leather. If you find boots in the T2
category are simply too much boot for uphill skinning, however,
the T3 is the answer.enough power for edging, and a softer
boot for use where it's intended - skinning uphill for freshies."
Backcountry magazine: "Add all of T2's upgrades to
this year's T3 and you've got a high performing tele-touring
boot. Originally aimed at the leather-convert, the high-end
performance of the T3 easily keeps up with the best of the
traditional leather boots on any distance tour."
