Clothing, Skis, boots, footwear and accessories, evolve towards a 2.0 collection concept dedicated to winter sports, with particular focus on ski mountaineering at all levels and the latest technology to enjoy sports activities in the mountains during the winter months.
Two shoes complete the high-mountain range: the innovative dual, high altitude boot G2 SM, developed in collaboration with Italian climber Simone Moro during his winter ascents to Gashebrum 2 , the first high mountain boot to integrate the Boa® closure system; and the ice and mixed terrain boot Trango Ice Cube GTX, equipped with the exclusive Thermo Tech injection construction system.

Spitfire 2.0 specifically adds additional technicality thanks to the SPEEDFire ™ closure derived from the famous Stratos carbon series.
