Garmont Xena

Garmont's Xena g-fit is modelled on the excellent Adrenalin, designed for aggressive female skiers wanting to arc the biggest freeride skis with the mobility and comfort of a ski mountaineering boot.

The Xena is fully compatible with all step-in bindings, whether alpine or ski-mountaineering. The outer soles are interchangeable so that you can choose between rocker-ed rubber Ski Mountaineering sole for climbing and touring, or switch to the flat ISO alpine soles for use with conventional alpine bindings.

A great choice for high-octane female skiers wanting a boot that combines performance with comfort.


A Fresh Approach. Fresh tracks. Fresh ideas. That’s what Backcountry Access is all about. They've proved that, with avalanche beacons, ease-of-use is more important than range. They popularized Companion Rescue—with light, integrated shovels and probes. And they solved the winter hydration problem with their freezeproof Stash packs.
