Sneak peek at next year's gear: Fischer Travers Carbon AT Boots

One of the big highlights (and surprises) at this winters Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City was the Fischer Travers Carbon AT Boots. You'll remember from last year that everyone was blow away by their new Profoil's, a sort of plastic climbing skin – well this year it's the Travers Carbon AT Boots.

At just 980 grams per boot, the new Fischer Travers Carbon offers a great fit with minimal weight. The adjustable Boa closure system with brass pulleys, lace frame system, and waterproof gator provides strong heel hold and comfort. Undo the top slider buckle with one hand and the active cuff gives you 80 degrees of rotation. The no-torsion carbon fiber sole, Grilamid shell and cuff, and PhattMaxx Tour power strap provide power transfer and support to handle any ski conditions.
