It’s all about the adventure these days, and the equipment industry has been quick to keep pace. The Lange XT3 130 AT ski boots are a perfect example of this. For years, Lange has made some of the most precise, high-performance boots on the planet, so it’s only natural that they’d follow the same protocol with their backcountry and adventure boots. The big thing with these boots is that they have the typical Lange performance, but all the goodies you need for skinning and hiking in the backcountry. With a lighter shell and liner, the boots feature Dynafit certified tech fittings that accommodate most uphill bindings these days. The walk mode achieves a very respectable 53-degree range of motion, and it’s pretty darn smooth, too. It’s all about having that friction reduced in the hinge, and Lange does a great job at making the boots flex and hinge smoothly and efficiently. With GripWalk soles and a rubberized arch, you’re getting all the grip you need for any scrambling or off-ski adventures. It’s nice to know you’ve got a locked-in and stiff boot for the downhill as well, and this is where Lange really has a leg up on the competition. The Lange XT3 130 AT ski boots are a perfect adventure companion.
