Vega Man is the evolution of the four-buckle ski mountaineering boot dedicated to all free-rider skimountaineers in search of the perfect combinationof the power, control, resistance and precision ofa downhill boot, with the mobility qualities, maneuverability and lightweight of a new generation ski mountaineering boot.
- The shell is made of light and resistant Grilamid® Carbon Renforced while the patented Vertebra Technology™ carbon-loaded locking system forms a structural part of the boot and facilitates the transmission of downhill power thanks to the exceptional ''125-Flex.''
- The mobility of the cuff, equal to 60° of the total excursion, combined with the accentuatedrolling and the patented EZ Flex™ hinge system of the bootie, enhances the walkability of the product, which canalso be used for technical passages on rocks and slippery ground thanks to the integral Vibram® sole dual-compound / double.
- The dual compatibility with both race TECH and AT bindings allows excellent versatility of use. Vega: free your pow(d)er.
PLUS
G-Shell™
- Super-compact lower shell is only 303 mm long for a size 27.5. We use the ultra-lightweight nylon polymer Grilamid® BIO becauseit allows us to reduce the thickness of the lower shell wall without sacrifi cing stiffness or power. The innovative Rear Diffuser element powers the boot’s extended range of motion. This diffuser element allows incredible best-in-category true 60° range of motion -30° rearward and 30° forward (buckles closed).
Cuff
- The Vega’s ingenious Dual-Axis Cuff™ consists of two individual elements working together: 1) a Pebax® Powered® dual-density two-buckle Climbing System Control™ cuff that provides lateral control and increased ankle articulation for technical climbing, 2) a Carbon Reinforced Vertebra Technology™ exoskeleton that enhances forward and rearward power transmission. The Vertebra Technology™ outer cuff is the key to the Vega’s powerful 115-Flex downhill performance. There is also a removable two-position asymmetric rear spoiler for fine-tuning the forward lean angle and the position of the foot in the lower shell.
Walking Profile
- The Dual-Axis Cuff™ facilitates a long smooth stride with an extended 60° range of motion while the G-Shell™ lower component maintains compatibility for touring (AT) ski binding attachment and for tech binding as well. Low 17 mm _x001F_H ramp-angle for a easy natural stance and all-day comfort.
Shell Line
- Reinforced area defined by the analysis of 3D models helps minimize the extent of shell deformation.
EZ Flex™ Tongue
- The Pebax® Rnew® bio-based tongue uses our EZ Flex™ hinge system derived from La Sportiva’s proven mountain boot technology. This innovative design guarantees unrestricted ankle movement for steep ascents and easy striding on flat ground. An added waterproof seal under the tongue provides protection against snow, ice and water. The position of the tongue can be customized at the magnesium hinge over the top of the toe box. There are 3 positions for a total adjustment range of 4 mm to allow fine-tuning of fi t and walkability.
4BT Tech Last™
- 102.5 mm neutral flat last keeps your foot in a comfortable no-fatigue position for precision footwork on technical Ski-mountaineering terrain.
WarmSole™ Insert
- Fact-rubber outsoles conduct cold up from the bottom of ski boots. The Vega sports a clever removable polyurethane ultra-lightweight insulating innersole that raises your foot up off the plastic floor of the boot.
EZ-TECH Buckles™ (patented)
- Aluminum buckles with micro-adjustment arm designed to speed up closing and opening operations.
Power Strap
- The wider offset and articulated hook and loop closure securely locks the entire cuff mechanism to the leg for efficient power transmission when skiing downhill.
Vertebra Technology™
- Carbon reinforced Grilamid® hardwearing ergonomic power structure that works like an exoskeleton (patent pending). It is the backbone of the cuff construction and guarantees maximum security and precision during downhill ski mode. No need for a stiff tongue, the power comes from the Vertebra when it is locked out in downhill mode.
Walk / Ski Mechanism
- Bombproof design (patent pending) is easy to operate even with gloves on.
Adjustable Forward Lean
- You can tune the boot to your personal preference with this interchangeable adjustable system for regulating the inclination of the cuff in three different positions (10°, 14°, 18°).
Vibram® Outsole™:
- Dual density with 85 shore a inserts at the toe and heel, for easier climbing on technical passages. A special centraling system which helps attach the boot to the bindings more quickly.
Binding compatibility
- The boots are compatible with race Tech bindings, AT touring bindings.
