Scarpa Maestrale RS Alpine Touring Boot 2022

Why We Like The Maestrale RS Alpine Touring Boot

Remember when backcountry touring meant wool sweaters and knickers, skinny skis, leather boots, and low-angle turns while whistling carefree tunes? Neither does the Scarpa Maestrale RS Alpine Touring Boot. Wool is great, and we love mellow turns after we shred the crap out of steep chutes and chomp up all the pow. The Maestrale RS is a boot that marries stiffness with swiftness. It takes on the ascent so we can take the descent with style and power. The RS Maestrale is only 40 grams heavier than the standard Maestrale, yet it is twenty percent stiffer so that we can ski with just a little extra confidence.
