Solar II is the boot dedicated to all-rounder ski mountaineers looking for the best mix of ascent and descent performance as well as comfort.

Ease of fitting and use make it a boot suitable for anyone starting out in ski mountaineering and looking for versatile, high-performance gear. The internal shape is anatomical for a perfect fit and maximum comfort. The introduction of the BOA® Fit System provides micro-adjustable precision for an exceptional fit and allows to put on and close the shell fast and effortless. The cuff range of 68° gives you maximum mobility when moving at speed and safety in every situation. While the patented ski/walk system called SWING-LOCK™ makes it really simple to move from ascent to descent modes. Solar II is a comfortable, safe boot that’s fast on ascents, high-performance and progressive on descents.
