The ISPO Award international committee – composed by independent professionals of the field – chose Freedom RS as reference boot for season 2015/16. This four-buckle SCARPA® boot combines the performance of an alpine race boot and the multi-purpose character of a backcountry boot and represents the best in terms of performance, quality and innovation in the Freeride & Touring Boots category.

Dedicated to all powder lovers, the new SCARPA® jewel is a condensed mix of technologies that raises the bar of performance. The combination of innovative materials and the company know-how of the backcountry world created a boot that ensure unlimited performances in downhill and a great comfort for uphill.

This 4-buckle Freeride boot has a shell made of Primary HP Rnew® Pebax material and a cuff made of Primary HP Polyammide that give excellent torsional and longitudinal rigidity as testers and developers pointed out – among all Chris Davenport, who compared the performances of this boot to those of an alpine boot.
Thanks to the Carbon Core technology – a carbon insert on the shell – and to the Axial Power Control, the boot is very precise on the transmission of the impulses to the ski and the FRS Cuff enhances the structural rigidity.

Great fit and stability thanks to the Overlap Closure together with the Booster™ Power Strap Lite which keeps the foot stable for a greater comfort while skiing. The SCARPA® Finger Strap allows an easy opening even with the gloves on; this is true also for the FRS Buckles that simplify the use in every situation.
Moreover, the possibility to change the sole according to the binding and to the terrain makes Freedom RS and multi-purpose boot perfect for any challenge.
