BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTION: The Elite 3.0 boot, developed in-house and designed for elite cross-country skiers and biathletes:
- featuring a revolutionary breathable upper, the boot is extremely light and comfortably elastic;
- allows air to circulate and keeps the competitor’s foot dry;
- the only boot on the World Cup circuit to have completely eliminated the use of PVC, replacing it with environmentally friendlier solutions;
- thanks to carbon technology, unnecessary pressures on the heel are eliminated and the boot is adaptable to different foot types and shapes;
- carbon fibres injected into more flexible materials give the boot strength and at the same time help reduce weight by enabling the use of lighter materials.
