2022 Lange XT3 130 LV AT Ski Boot

It’s awesome when boot companies offer the precise, high-performing boot that they’ve always had, but in an adventurous package. The Lange XT3 130 LV ski boots feature a 97-mm forefoot last and a 130-flex rating to go along with its alpine touring chops. Backcountry and touring boots have usually had to sacrifice either uphill weight or downhill performance, and Lange wonders why we can’t have both? Light enough for some longer tours, but stiff and precise enough for some hard-charging and ripping skiing, the Lange XT3 130 LV is keeping up with the trends and allowing skiers to truly have the best of all worlds. With GripWalk soles and tech fittings, you can zoom uphill, and thanks to the friction-free hinge and the Power V-Lock 3.0 hike mechanism, the touring aspect of these boots really comes to life. There’s so much to like about the uphill capabilities of these boots, that it’s easy to forget that it’s a 130-flex boot with a low-volume fit. When you lock it down and buckle it tight, it’s an impressive ride that you’re not going to want to miss. Thanks to the years and decades of experience that Lange has in building boots, it’s natural that they’re good at making touring boots, and their skills are on full-display with the Lange XT3 130 LV Alpine Touring boots.
