Lange XT3 80 (2021)

XT-3 80 Wide SC is this season's top-of-the-line youth boot from Lange. The brand new and redesigned hybrid boot for our future freeriders. Unlike almost all other brands, Lange has realized that the weight, in grams, with lighter nylon plastic in the shell and a thin and again weight-saving cold "sock" for inner shoes is NOT ski-promoting. The new XT-3 is not an opponent of ski-touring on a little higher weight, no the other way around. XT-3 of course has low-tech inserts in the highest quality and a much better walking position (> 60 degrees) with much less friction than before, which promotes hiking, quick lacing in Junior liner inner shoe with cut-out classic wedge at the back in padded Lycra for really comfortable hiking. BUT the XT-3 has a completely different shell than all other touring boot manufacturers: Dual Core Light - that is, the same quality of plastic as many junior racing boots - all because downhill skiing with wide and fun freeride skis is a priority! Skiers with far too light, thin and soft inner shoes in fluttering nylon shells will never be able to press downhill with the same power transmission as in the new Lange. The new Lange XT-3 weighs in only approx. 100 grams more than the lighter hybrid boots but delivers incredibly much more downhill. XT-3 80 Wide is extremely affordable and is available in 100mm reading width in sizes 23.5 - 27.5 - "It's all about the down!"
