Ambitious objectives require the strongest bonds. Nearly a decade ago, Patagonia and the GORE-TEX brand started toward an impossible goal: To remove perfluorinated chemicals from the waterproof fabrics in our outerwear without compromising performance. Well, we did it—and set an entirely new standard for technical shells.

What if we bought to live, instead of living to buy? «Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist» - Kenneth Boulding “Reusing something instead of disposing of it quickly, starting from profound motivations, can be an act of love that expresses our dignity” said Pope Francis. Something very different from what GDP says, i.e. wealth measured in consumption. The Gross Domestic Product, which evaluates the quantity of goods produced, is currently considered the reference for expressing the wellbeing of a commu-

nity. GDP, however, does not take into account the "cost" that society incurs, in terms of environmental impact, to produce. GDP does not even measure quality: money spent on harmful products, such as alcohol and gambling, is evaluated on the same level as that invested in culture or education. GDP does not even consider cleanliness of water and air resources, the health of the soil, the biodiversity of ecosystems. The happiness of people. “There is a crisis of fundamental values. The only thing that matters is GDP growth. And when the market stops, society stops” said the sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman. GDP growth and increased consumption are not always a good thing. It is worth asking ourselves deeply: what does the development of a society really indicate? As Yvon Chouinard wrote, in his book “Let My People

go surfing”: “We should only buy what we need, rather than what we want, making sure it is multifunctional, durable, fixable, of quality, and timeless (that it will last until next generation). If we chose to live more simply, our lives would not be impoverished, but enriched in all the ways that truly matter." Yet, in our democracies, profit, and consumer demand, always takes precedence over everything. 2022 was a record year for the fashion sector: the turnover reached 96.6 billion, the highest value in the last 20 years, up sixteen percent compared to 2021. What isn't said when celebrating the apparel industry is that the sector emits more carbon dioxide than all the planes and ships in the world combined. Clothes and shoes are responsible for five percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, not counting water consumption and pollution due to the use

of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in cotton fields and in material production processes. In recent decades, Europeans have bought forty percent more clothing, which lasts half as long. “Consumer culture is at the heart of the current global ecological crisis” said writer Naomi Klein. Nowadays, when an asset passes from one hand to another without exchanging money, it is considered a scandal. Unexpectedly, however, alongside the fast fashion giants, second hand platforms and practices such as swap parties, events in which people exchange items, are also growing. Second hand market is rapidly increasing: in Europe it is worth around 17 billion euros, and by 2030 it could be worth twice as much as the fast fashion industry. But while on the one hand this trend may represent a sigh of relief for the planet, second hand websites risk making us attribute even less value to clothing, increasing the consumption cycle and pushing

us to buy more: it costs less and less, and then you can always resell online. Corporations have much greater power than individual citizens, and are responsible for the social and environmental damage caused by both the manufacturing of the product and the product itself. Donating money is not enough, you have to work hard. As people, however, we can use the strength we have as consumers, for example by boycotting companies that do not respect human rights, and those that blatantly encourage disposable products. Repairing and adapting clothes, instead of throwing them away, is another radical act. Avoiding developing a particular attachment to objects, attributing a meaning to them, and not just an economic value, is another step forward. The idea that buying products that we can do without makes us happy is considered something normal in our society. Consuming has become one of the many impositions of a way

of life where only appearance counts, rather than being. A world in which there is no space to dedicate to personal growth and awareness. A non-place where everything is controlled by a system that makes us automatons. We live in a society that seems designed to control every aspect of people's daily lives, which imposes an unattainable ideal of perfection, ready to label us as failures. An idea of perfection that does not belong to nature. From this model arises the frustration that leads us to buy objects we don't need. The outdoor industry is also fueling a trend for “fashionistas”: supposed athletes chase the most stylish outfit that makes them feel cool and part of the group. As if the marmots, the stars, the wind, cared about how we are dressed. Let's take back the profound meaning of outdoor living. Going to the mountains is a transgressive act. The mountains are the last bastion of wilderness on earth, where the rules imposed by society have not reached. Up there you accept to place yourself with humility before the natural world, perceiving the power it expresses. The outdoors represents the space to truly search for ourselves. Connecting with the natural world is the most intimate act I know. I only go to the mountains with people with whom I want to create a deep, spiritual bond. To relearn how to take pleasure in experiences that can't be bought, like being in nature and with the people I love. I go to the mountains to seek genuine satisfaction, to perform authentic gestures, which give emotions that last over time, and promote pure wellbeing: experiences that fill you with positive energy, which remains imprinted for a long time. Something very different from venting frustrations in compulsive shopping, which only provides an empty, ephemeral, fleeting excitement. Rejecting the culture of consumerism is an act of rebellion. Going to the mountains is an act of rebellion: to shake off the absurd rules imposed by society, and find a new balance, made of natural laws. What if we bought to live, instead of living to buy?

Legend

Legend The outdoor market, as we will explain better later on, offers endless solutions: from the most multifaceted products to the most targeted ones, designed for specific disciplines. The categories that we offer are clear and direct to allow you, by eyeing a product between one page and another, to better focus on who you are and on what you like to do.

Light Touring

Freeride

“Levity is an irresistible temptation but levity is also a perversion.” It seems that these words pronoun - ced by Sir Michael Caine in the famous movie “Youth” is the right description of this ski category. A light weight can help a lot on big slopes, but it shows all its limits on high speed descents. It is the - refore essential to understand that when we talk about "lightweight", referring to this particular ca tegory, we just don’t talk about grams. Once again, it is a matter of how you want to live your day in the mountains. The term "Light Touring" was born on the basis of extremely minimal skis, suitable for equally minimal skiers not only in weight and size, but also and above all ideal in the approach phase: essential, practical and elegant. For those who bring few but necessary things to the mountains.

This is also an evolving category. Last year we wrote: "At The Pill we’re not imperatives, but we invite you to try skins and, why not, to consider them as a valid substitute for the useless use of the helicopter. Come on, you are young and strong." Grinding meters of elevation gain throughout the past winter, we saw fewer shovels and more skins. We are proud of you. The skis that belong to this category have the sole purpose of offering you the possibility to ski every slope in your own way, without depending on what runs under your feet.

Weight: 900-1150 grams per ski Ski center width: from 70 to 85mm Sidecut: average, not too accentuated Height: 150-176cm

Free Touring Let's say it clear: these skis are realized for those who love to ski. People who love everything, from planning the trip to find the best slope, up to the expected moment of the descent on virgin powder. These are the skis of those who enjoy a lot their curves above everything else. The desire for exploration prevails over the one of the conquest. Consequently, these tools must be sufficiently structured to support descents on any type of snow, and at the same time painfully light to be able to face significant elevation gain without excessive fatigue. In a word? A compromise. Weight: 1300-2000 grams per ski Ski center width: from 90 to 120mm Sidecut: moderately accentuated Height: 160-190cm

Weight: 1300-2000 grams per ski Ski center width: from 90 to 120mm Sidecut: moderately accentuated Height: 160-190cm

Ski Race Skis made for athletes. They are skis that put performance first, above everything else. If competitions and grams (both at the table and on your feet) are your constant thought, these products are for you: extremely performing, de - dicated exclusively to sporting or competitive performance. Lightness uphill at the expense of downhill stability, but as a good athlete, a pinch of proprioceptive is enough to go down everywhere. Full gas, always. Weight: 700-900 grams per ski Ski center width: less than 70mm Sidecut: little accentuated Height: 150-160cm

Legend

All Mountain As with all things in life, it is utopian to find something that 100% satisfies our every desire. We will still remember all the reproaches of our mother or grandmother: "you can't have your cake and eat it too." Here, for this category of skis the same concept applies. They are models suitable for all conditions. Suitable, not perfect. However, if you are a 360° mountain lover, they are definitely the best choice for you.

Mountaineering Your is goal is clear: to reach the top. We know this well and the ice ax is undoubtedly your symbol. The tool to climb, with a more or less fast pace, through snow, ice and rock, until you reach your dreams at 4000 meters high. You need lightness, but first of all reliability, warmness and breathability: fundamental elements for a safe progression.

Approach A real must-have in your backpack. If you have to approach a wall, whether it be on a trail in the valley or on a bumpy stony ground at high altitude, you can't help but have these products. Very versatile models, suitable from simple day trips to paragliding. They work well in many situations, but be careful, they are not suitable for walking too many kilometers.

Hiking From a single-day hike, the classic “hit and run” experience, to multi-day treks. These products were created to cover many kilometers, often under the sun, but they do not disdain rain and bad weather. Lightweight but also performing and long lasting. Shoes that will never betray you: reliability is their keyword.

Trail Running If you can't help but running in the mountains, grinding out trails and climbing at high altitude without stopping, you need lightweight and space-saving products. The shoes are perfect for your passion.

Ultra Running If what you want is to run far, without looking back, regardless of the road, the mountain and where the trail will lead you, ultrarunning models are what you are looking for: comfortable shoes with no frills.

Sky Running If your only goal is the mountains, what you need is a light, grippy shoe suitable for the most technical and demanding terrains, even on rock and via ferratas, or where you have to use your hands.

Winter Trail If you compete all year round or if you are looking for a reliable shoe to run without worries in any climate, with snow, mud and rain, maybe on technical and semi-mountaineering terrains, in our winter Guide we have dedicated a category specifically for these shoes.

Speed Hiking If your passion is hiking but at the same time you love speed and performance, then the winged shoe is the icon you’re looking for. These products allow you to face the mountain and the elevation gain with a quick pace, without too many frills and with less weight on your back.

Climbing Is vertical your motto? This category is obviously the one for you. Products born and developed for real climbers who don't want to hear the word horizontal. Definitely technical materials when it comes to shoes, comfortable and lightweight ones in the clothing category.

Adventure & Backpacking Is your life an adventure with the capital "A" and do you love exploring both the frenzy of urban neighborhoods and the peace of a forest? Do you dream of walking for hours, both under sun and rain without sweating or getting wet? This compass is for you: highly performing and versatile products but not suitable for facing too technical and demanding climates and trails.

Woman Not long ago, although few remember it, women's products were simply men's models in smaller sizes and colored in nuances considered feminine. Now companies have understood that women love and deserve mountains as much as men, if not more. Now there are numerous brands that realize products with fits and performances suitable for the female body.

Kid It’s time for new generations and, as they say in Scooby-Doo: "Power to the little ones!” Long live parents who bring their children to the mountains and do not park them in front of an IPad. Long live companies that think about them by creating ad hoc products. These little climbers deserve as much as we do to not have their butts frozen.

How to

How to read The Pill ski tests Each test consists of a descriptive textual section and an infographic based on technical numerical parameters expressed on a scale of values from 1 to 10. 1

Product Name On the top you will find the name of the brand and the one of the product. We shot every single ski, boot and binding in studio, with the same light conditions and in the same position in order to evaluate aesthetics and shape.

Global impression The first part is dedicated to the global impression where is summarized the sum of the testers’ opinions. It starts with the general feeling that the product has gi ven then deepened in the part dedicated to features and performances, concluding with the final impressions.

Usage Here we show you what is the best use of the product you’re looking at.

Terrain We have tried to give you as precise and easy to read information as possible on the 4 types of skiing: Light Touring, Free Touring, Freeriding and All Mountain. A light and fast ski that is very performing for Light Touring will hardly be suitable for Freeriding and viceversa.

Riding Level It is essential to know your own limits, and once evalua - ted them with extreme sincerity, thanks to this chart you will be able to understand if a ski is suitable or not for your level. If you are a beginner we do not recommend a ski with a very high rate in the “Pro” feature, you may not enjoy it.

Performance Four different numerical judgment parameters. The ratings range from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum in performan ce. We have chosen the 4 most important features when it comes to evaluating a ski: handling, pop, flex and design (yes we have a soft spot for graphics and design). Three of these parameters will help you understand the feeling this ski offers.

Data Sheet This paragraph summarizes the various information of the tested models provided by the parent company and then verified by us. If there is a clear difference between the data provided and those detected it is reported, but we must admit that brands are very serious in communicating all the right specs. In this order you will find: available ski sizes, type of construction, materials, sidecut, rocker, radius, weight and price.

We Like Each product has its own strength, there is no a perfect product suitable for all conditions. But if something has really amazed us (and that happened a lot) you will find it written here.

Ski Boots We have tried to keep ski-like ratings for boots as well, to make it easier for you to read. However, the features change and here you will find the number of buckles, the stance and the cuff motion. In graphics you can see the sole used, the material of the liner and cuff, and finally have info about the shell and the last.

Ski Bindings Even for the bindings, categories do not change but in the features you will find the type of binding, the material with which it is built, the range drop, if there is the possibility of skistopper and rampant holder.

Usage Here we show you what is the best use of the product you’re looking at.

Performance We have established four different numerical judgment parameters. The ratings range from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum in performance. We have chosen the 4 most important features that a shoe must have: cushioning, protection, support and traction. There are high performing and very technical shoes suitable for advanced runners but difficult to use for less experienced ones, others which are simpler and usable on all terrains, but that obviously do not excel in anything. This chart lets you know if the shoe has the features you are looking for.

Terrain You will find this data only about shoes that are becoming more and more versatile, for this reason we have tried to give you the most precise and easy-to-read indications on the 4 types of terrains that you will frequently meet: mud, rock, wet and gravel. A perfect shoe on wet or mud probably is not the right choice on rock and vice versa.

Features This paragraph summarizes the various info of the tested models provided by the parent company and then verified by us. If there is a clear difference between the data provided and those detected it is reported. In the features you will find the lining of the shoe, its upper, sole, midsole, footbed and drop.

We Like Each product has its own strength, it must be said. But the absolute product, perfect in all situations, does not exist, and looking for it is a utopia. However, if something particularly strikes us (and it happens often), we will write it here.

Distance Here you will find some data to evaluate whether a trail shoe is suitable for short, medium or long distances.

Volume The feet of each one of us differ not only in length but also in width and volume, here you will find the internal volume of every shoe which can be small, medium or large.

Awards

The Pill Ski Awards Hundreds of messages on WhatsApp, hours of discussion and a multitude of emails between our test team and many of the most important ski stores we collaborate with have allowed us to collect the information necessary to assign a series of prizes. Here, then, are our The Pill Ski Awards. Inside this guide you will find a selection that, however wide it may be, is still the result of a careful selection. A selection in the selection that we like to call "editor's choice": what is most interesting on the market. These are products that deserve to be highlighted and, consequently, tested by our team. We don't like to have our say, not only at least. We like to share and

Certainly, those who buy this kind of product have ascent as their main purpose and are looking for a product capable of supporting maximum performance uphill. It is natural that in a second moment it will be necessary to turn the tips and go back to the valley but let's face it, rather than skiing, the goal of those who face such important difference in heights is to descend. And do it quickly. Keyword? Lightweight. We wanted to attribute this award to the product that has been able to stand out for its lightness and handling without compromising safety on the descent. In short the concept is that even if you don't take turns, a ski or the cuff of a good boot must always support the skier and his/her style of skiing.

to involve. Here, then, is the birth of eight awards for two product categories: skis & boots. Eight prizes, however, awarded with different methods. In order to give everyone a voice. We assigned seven of them with a democratic vote managed by The Pill testers and by comparing ourselves through a survey with the most important ski stores in Italy, and for the last one we let our readers choose with an online survey (via newsletter and Instagram) carried out before going to print the guide. Here you will find a short but complete legend. The aim is to make you understand how the awards were decided and for what reason they were assigned.

Probably the most complex product in the category. The request of skiers is more and more demanding: you want to climb without getting tired and descend with the stability typical of the piste. As we say in Italy “you want one’s cake and eat it too". We have deep esteem for the research and development departments that every year have to design more and more complete products to satisfy an increasingly demanding public. We wanted to reward those who, in our opinion, have succeeded best in this arduous undertaking. Who has got one’s cake and ate it too. In simple terms? Acceptable weight uphill and good grip downhill on all types of snow and slopes.

Complexity also distinguishes this type of product. The difference compared to the touring category is in fact subtle. The goal remains the compromise. We wanted to reward, once again, those who dared to grow. At eighteen years old, a person is fundamentalist and absolute, without half measures: everything is black or white, right or wrong. Without "if" and without "but", full stop and new line. At thirty everything becomes a semicolon. Growing up means identifying the right shade of grey between those extremes. This is what we wanted to reward: those who, with their product, have made of every "if" and every "but" a strong point. Those who knew how to grow.

Il nuovo Dynastar M-Tour 108 è costruito appositamente per la “caccia alle linee” nella neve profonda. Sono i nostri sci da free-touring più larghi, con 108 mm sotto il piede. Combinano una struttura leggera ed energica con una sensazione di stabilità, per affrontare nevi e terreni variegati. Il nostro Hybrid Core 2.0 unisce legno di pioppo con poliuretano per una sciata leggera ma ﬂuida, che offre facilità nelle manovre anche su nevi variabili. 21

Awards

The word freedom has always spoken and will always speak for itself. It is a concept that we certainly feel more ours compared to the term “competition”. These same awards, we say it again, want to demonstrate our desire for sharing and transparency towards companies, readers and collaborators. We do not want to draw up a ranking by assigning judgments from the top of a chair. Here, then, why we have a soft spot for this category, it somehow represents us. We wanted to reward a product worthy of the name it bears: true, complete and robust. Ironically, we rewarded the stiffness able of making the descents in powder really free.

Nowadays it almost seems that the ideal of progress has been replaced by the ideal of innovation. This is what you hear around and this is it: an outgoing product does not have to be better, it just needs to be new. As if the past were something to be avoided at all costs. The problem with this philosophy is obvious: endless growth represents a mad utopia. We therefore wanted to reward something new: patience. That product that has embarked on a path of constant growth and thought over the long term. That company that has chosen a complex and complete path, made up of necessary steps.

When it comes to sustainability, there is no certainty. Maybe we’re late, maybe we still have time. We believe in snow and, despite the last difficult seasons, we nurture sincere hope in the future and in the new generations of skiers and companies. It is natural that the primary goal of a company is linked to sales, but we are extremely proud to be able to collaborate with people who share a current and urgent common interest: safeguarding the environment. We have therefore chosen to reward those who have not limited themselves to creating something innovative, but have put sustainable development in the first place in the entire production chain.

A beautiful wooden bicycle, with the frame hand carved by a skilled craftsman, what purpose would it have without a chain capable of activating the movement of the wheels? It would remain beautiful, but it would stay still. Here is the subtle issue we have focused on. With this award we did not want to reward the most beautiful ski or boot. Because beauty as an end in itself is not useful, at least not in sport. Instead, we looked for those who, to create an innovative and functional product, have combined a unique design. Those who have focused on the content and, at the same time, have presented in the best way.

We can fill you with notions and many beautiful words. We meet, discuss, write, test. Some of us are simple enthusiasts, others professionals, some prominent athletes, others excellent amateurs and still others shopkeepers, the attentive ones. But no one, as with all things in life, has it all figured out. In the end we lay our cards on the table, but you choose which hand to play. In short, what really matters is, and always must be, your judgment. Over the past few months we have done a survey asking you what your favorite skis and boots were, this is the prize you have awarded.

Each one of us, for any existing product on the market, can decide to vivisect every single element as much as possible. In this case, therefore, you can go in search of the most stable ski, the lightest one, the most technologically advanced boot or the one that satisfies the eye the most, but ultimately what matters is our personal preference. In all likelihood it is the least rational judgment, but the one which best sums up all the other ones in itself. We assigned it to the model that received the most overall votes by adding all those from the other categories.

The Pill Trail Awards

After many years of guides and many years spent with a stable and tested team of testers, we thought that all the speeches we did behind the scenes could also be expressed in our guide. So we decided to assign, as a team, and in collaboration with the most important trail running stores, special prizes to the running products that we liked the most, that made us talk or discuss the most. We then wrote it down a number of features that we thought were important in a shoe, and that it would be interesting

to award a prize. Eight awards came out: we awarded six with a democratic vote managed by The Pill testers, comparing ourselves through a survey with the most important trail running stores in Italy, one was left to the editorial staff of Buckled, the first ultrarunning podcast in Italy, and we let you readers choose the last one, with an online survey done before going to print the guide. Below you will find a small legend, a compass, to guide you and to understand how we have assigned them.

It's not just for the coolest shoe, that would be uninteresting. The Best Design Award is assigned to the shoe in which aesthetics are bent to technology and in which the materials are assembled in a functional way, in other words, industrial, in the highest sense of the term. It is an award that rewards the quality of the shoe as a whole: aesthetics and functionality.

In a market where everything happens quickly, and where production cannot keep up with product development, we have decided to make order. The Best Technology Award is assigned to the shoe that encompasses the most advanced technologies on the market today. A shoe that may not be perfect, but it is the most innovative, the one to look at to understand where we will be tomorrow.

Awards

When you buy shoes what are you paying for? Production? No. Research. Developing innovative materials and products costs a lot of money, but a shoe must remain functional and affordable, even starting from the price. It is not a prize for the cheapest shoe, but for the one that combines quality and durability at a reasonable price, and where the gap between objective value and price is as little as possible.

Imagine a bike: how many attempts have been made to redesign it? Recumbent, inclined, without seat tube, front-wheel drive, unicycle, tricycle. But in the end, a bike has always remained the same, and a riding bike of today is essentially not very different from one of fifty years ago. For running shoes it is the same thing, as far as you can go around them, they are always the same. This is the prize for "those" shoes: functional, with no frills, always fitting.

If you look at the feet of the athletes on a starting line, anarchy. Because a shoe can also be designed for a specific distance, but then everyone uses what they prefer. Nonetheless, in large numbers that intention almost always corresponds to reality. This award is given to the best shoe for short distances, at least for us: responsive, fast, light.

We had to assign a prize to the best ultrarunning shoe, thinking of a name for it we came up with Buckled's monthly column "The Long Run", edited by Alessandro Locatelli (one of our testers), Marcello Marcadella and Tommaso Bassa, you can listen to it every month on the major podcast platforms. We asked them to give this award, it seemed right.

We can vivisect a shoe as much as possible. We can find the softest, most responsive, most technological, most beautiful shoe, but in the end what matters is our favorite shoe. Perhaps this is the most irrational prize but it best sums up all the others in itself. We assigned it to the model that received the most overall votes by adding all those from the other categories.

We meet up, discuss, write, some of us are athletes, others amateurs, others shopkeepers. What we can do is give you a compass, some advice, tell you what we liked and what we didn't, as we have the opportunity to try on many shoes. But what matters in the end is always your judgment. Over the past few months we have done a survey asking you what your favorite shoe was, this is the prize you awarded.

The Pill Base Camp Winter Edition The third edition is a double appointment: Sestriere 22 & 23 Jan 2024 Folgaria 29 & 30 Jan 2024 On Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th of January 2023, more than 500 professionals populated the slopes of Sestriere on the occasion of the third edition (the second one in winter) of our event, The Pill Base Camp. Two days of testing and presentations of the highly anticipated winter 2024 products. 235 Italian outdoor stores and a total of 520 buyers were able to interact with 78 brands to learn about and test the new products for the following winter season.

The Pill Base Camp By Maria Laurenti

For the buyers, the village proved to be a real base camp where they can stop to pick up new equipment to test including skis, snowboards, bindings, boots, goggles, glasses, clothing, backpacks and accessories.

Throughout the entire event we were accompanied by a variable weather with snow and sun and enough snowfall to create the ideal conditions for having fun in the powder and trying out the Winter 2024 innovations. Not only tests but also presentations and experiences. Not to mention the dinner at I.GLOO, the venue located right next to the Base Camp, where a series of brilliant indoor events followed one another such as the screening of the movie "On Our Way", created by Lorenzo Alesi and Alice Linari in collaboration with Blizzard-Tecnica. After watching the short movie and a small Q&A with

the audience, Web & E-commerce expert Marco Sepertino took the stage and directed the talk “Social & Paid Traffic: better friends than enemies”, touching on topics such as advantages and disadvantages of a physical store, positioning and differentiation on the web, social marketing and much more. The moments of experience and information then left room for relaxation and general excitement. The rock trio Monkey Sound opened the dance and after the dinner followed a DJ set that blew up the place. Those who followed us on social media know well what happened!

On Tuesday, like the previous day, we started again with our tests, coffee breaks and discussions between buyers and brands. At 7am some lucky selected shopkeepers had the opportunity to participate in the experience by Tecnica and Blizzard: a ski tour carried out by an expert guide. Then breakfast at the refuge and off to draw downhill lines arriving at the Base Camp just in time for the opening of the village. At 4.30pm, punctual like Swiss watches in anticipation of the closure of the slopes, all that was left of The Pill Base Camp was an expanse of smooth snow with hundreds of tested products imprinted on it, thousands of handshakes and an infinite number of emotions.

What will happen now? The dates double. We will start with Sestriere and the following week we will be in Folgaria. Why this choice? Well, there are two main reasons. The first one is to offer the opportunity to participate in the Base Camp also to shopkeepers from Eastern Italy, sometimes too far away from Sestriere. The second reason arises from the counterpart of the brands, which need to have more time to have their products tested or presented to all the retailers present.

video screenings, talks and obviously for the Monday evening party, a must that we just can't do without. We don't want to reveal anything else to you. Only, here's a little tip, if you're a buyer. Don't miss the opportunity to participate and sign up now on the website www.thepillbasecamp.com See you in Sestriere, or in Folgaria, or even better, see you in both places!

In the midst of all this, in the editorial office we are already working on many Skimo, Split, Winter Trail experiences,

The Pill Way 2K24

Everything starts with The Pill Base Camp

“I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers” - Isaac Asimov By Maria Laurenti

Once again, The Pill's winter guide features much more than just ski products. Of course, there is no shortage of boots and skis to accompany you through the fresh, virgin snow basins and more. But The Pill's philosophy has only one measure and it's called "exploration", and that is a broad-minded goddess, even in the coldest months. I challenge you to find the courage to tell mountain lovers that they should hibernate in winter. The outdoors is a 365-day season that everyone experiences in their own way, whatever

its form and intensity. So yes, a few pages further you will also find an entire section dedicated to footwear, clothing and technical equipment. The outdoor market, we are aware, is a vast wall full of streets, today more than ever. However, many people try their hand at that same wall. The collection of observations, measurements and reasoning of several independent observers is what we call a guide. The Pill Guide aims to be nothing more than this, a map to orient you without further confusion. High speeds for Luca Manfredi

The Pill Ski Tests By Maria Laurenti

Everything started in November As Danish poet and author Henrik Nordbrandr said “The year has sixteen months: November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, November, November, November.” November is where it all begins and starts again and again and again. The starting point remains "that cool ISPO", the Munich fair which represents the main global exhibition event for the outdoor world. The dates awarded from 2023 are 28,29 and 30 November. Will we be there? Of course. A great effort? Without a doubt, but one that we willingly tolerate, because missing the ISPO is out of the question. Crammed all together in a car or minibus to have less impact, we will set off for Munich in a perfect Little Miss Sunshine style, aware that in those three days sleep, comfort and perhaps even the magical outdoor outings will be a distant memory. A nice sacrifice, but ultimately not too heavy, all things considered. Because loving the outdoors at this level, being passionate about it to the point of sacrificing our nights for it, is the fortune and condemnation that transforms events like ISPO into our daily bread. What would

we be without? We share what Walter Bonatti said "sacrifice is the fundamental filter of life", it is the measure of the value of things. No matter how tired and tried, we will go to bed happy. In addition to ISPO, November is full of company sales meetings, to attend the launches of the season's new products by the various dealers. Here it is our curiosity that plays a “bad trick” and drags us between premier events and individual company presentations. It is on these occasions of close contact with the best sports brands that we are able to get an idea of the market trend and highlight the focuses on which to concentrate our tests. Like little investigators, we note down what catches our eye and establish a precious moment of comparison-meeting with the companies to discuss the choices of the various models. When we then request them, we always ask to receive the products in the same conditions in which they arrive at the stores so that it is possible to evaluate every aspect, including packaging and finishes. Because even the details count and we certainly won't be the ones to ignore them.

The Pill Ski Tests By Maria Laurenti

Pila, Sestriere, more Sestriere and Folgaria The Pill Base Camp third edition As Agatha Christie said “A coincidence is a coincidence, two coincidences make a clue, three coincidences make a proof!” At the third edition of The Pill Base Camp we can finally say it: it has demonstrated its success. Since Edition ONE of the first business to business event organized by our magazine, The Pill Base Camp has come a long way, always encouraging us to do more and do better. Little by little, one step at a time. *78 brands, 235 stores, 560 buyers, an entire editorial team. A madness. At first this seems like the idea of an event that brings together hundreds of brands and people to test a huge amount of skis and get as many reviews as possible. But nothing less than something mad and extraordinarily ambitious is expected from Denis Piccolo, the Don Quixote of the entire world of The Pill. Outdoor enthusiast and semi-visionary, Denis is one of those whose mind is a construction site under constant construction. At first it looks like a house and before reaching the roof it has already become a skyscraper. Everything seems bigger than us, but his confidence makes us doubt whether we are really capable of it. Finally we are crazier than him to follow him, but in any case he doesn't give us an alternative, so we have to try. The first edition in Pila in 2022 has been precisely our test. Not a bad first attempt, given that the call to the meeting not only got a response, but 76 brands including skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, goggles and so on and so forth. Numbers that left everyone amazed, proving that sometimes madness is just the reality that you are afraid of realizing. “You can't stop the wind, but you have to know how to make mills”, an art refined year after year that led the Base Camp to migrate to Sestriere in 2023. At 2035m high, Sestriere is the ideal playground for the Base Camp, equipped with the perfect morphology for activities ranging from ski mountaineering to trail running. There was therefore no discussion about the location for the 2024 Base Camp. Sestriere regained the title hands down. However, every new year brings its gifts and 2024 is not unprepared. The new entry is called

The Pill Base Camp Folgaria and is none other than the Trentino twin of the Base Camp we all know. In fact, the last Base Camp in Sestriere saw such a participation of shops that not everyone managed to take part in the various tests offered by the brands. Folgaria therefore comes to offer further space for brands to have their products tested. On the other hand, the Trentino location was chosen not by chance because it meets a second need, namely all those shops located in eastern Italy eager to take part in the experience but too far away to be able to do so. Needless to say, the confidence in Folgaria's debut is as high as that in the now established Sestriere. Hundreds of people, hundreds of pairs of skis, meters and meters of snow and two days of pure outdoors. So much magic, there's no denying it. However, behind the magic, we won't hide it from you, there is a lot of work. Windmills don't appear perfectly functional overnight. You need to collect all the necessary gears, fit them together in a functional way and then check that when the wind arrives everything “turns” smoothly. A whole day wouldn't be enough to explain every component behind The Pill Base Camp, and it's likely that you would be bored to death well before the conclusion, but what we can do is provide you with some numbers on what the Pill has achieved for two years now thanks to the Base Camp. Imagine you are at The Pill Base Camp and you are a buyer for some store. You are about to put on your first pair of skis to carry out a test, but before you can launch into action, you and over 500 other shop colleagues present must fill out special Google forms from which all the first impressions of the products will then be extrapolated, measured using specific value scales. Next to you, the 10 official testers of The Pill will exactly do the same thing. The average, calculating that each official representative and tester tests around 15 skis, is around 3600 reviews, fresh and ready to be examined by copywriters. Then, so as not to miss anything, our testers keep their skis and during the year they go out and test them in every possible condition, from powder to hardpack, to then arrive in the following October ready to take stock and collect further and more detailed information relating to materials.

It’s likely that Camilla Sebastiani will already be a mother when she reads this guide, but she won’t easily forget this wood

The Pill testers As Asimov, also The Pill believes in the reasoning confirmed by independent observers. For this reason we have created a real team of testers which is not limited to a specific niche but which offers, from the diversity of the various points of view, a broader vision of the products. And it is for this reason that among the testers you will find a bit of everything: mountain guides, ski instructors, dealers, expert freeriders, mountain rescue technicians, but also simple mountain enthusiasts, a group that every year proves to be an integral part of the Base Camp, where they take the opportunity to dialogue and discuss with the companies to each identify the most

suitable skis for themselves, which they then test in different snow conditions and on different slopes, to arrive at The Pill Ski Test in Zermatt ready to close the circle and take stock. The Pill Ski Test is not an easy business at all, as it is field work that largely depends on the weather conditions. We can only declare ourselves proud of our testers, however, who subject the products to multiple tests before arriving at the final judgment and filling in the Google forms useful to the editorial team to create the best product sheets that can be offered. In short, the ones you’ll find a few pages later, browsing through the Guide.

The complete review. The report. enthusiastic people and not with cold robots, each tester has unique and always different characteristics, both in terms of strictly physiological aspects and in terms of knowledge relating to the product under examination. We therefore try, in drafting the definitive review, to take into account everyone's precious point of view. Because there is no absolute science nor indisputable opinion capable of telling you which ski is actually right for you. There are people, experiences, conditions, technical capabilities. And then there are skis. The general picture must always be looked at and understood, which is precisely what we have tried to summarize in these pages.

Recovered from the beers of the previous night, we set off towards the refuge for breakfast at dawn

Probably the most fussy phase, the one that requires obsessive precision. As mentioned, the final report is a combination of many things, the ability to summarize in this phase is fundamental. Each product tested is cataloged and a grid with parameters is drawn up (for each of them) which, together with the general impression, will make up the complete review. The products are checked repeatedly and meticulously and the measurements, declared by the parent company, are verified with special equipment. If at this stage we do not find substantial differences (slight deviations are normal) we do not report them. Working (thank goodness) with

The Pill Ski Tests By Maria Laurenti

Evaluations. Before our copywriters try their hand at the editorial offices, a job that is also not free from difficulties, days of comparison are necessary which allow us to align all the multiple impressions collected on the same product in a common evaluation. And there are many. As already mentioned, to try a product it is not enough to wear it. It needs to be subjected to multiple tests, tested on multiple terrains, from hard to powder to crusty or windy snow. Of course, it must be said, not even by covering hundreds of kilometer you can create a test that can be defined as “exhaustive”. This is why before the whole odyssey on the slopes begins, before the testers even insert the boot into the binding pins, we spend hours and hours comparing ourselves with the minds that conceived those products. And it's not just about brands, but also about buyers, dealers, people who sell and use them. Only in this way was it possible for us to develop a wealth of knowledge that included a “history” of the product, its evolution from the versions of previous years.

Evaluating details is of utmost importance for a fair review

Elaboration. Now, here comes the copywriters’ time. Not without some disappointment, skis, boots and everything else must be stored in the garage, at least for the moment, to make room for the dreaded days in the editorial office. This is where the magic happens, as much as it seems like the least romantic moment of all. Synthesizing everything when previously collected is a kind of bizarre spell that must be governed by the skills of experienced magicians. We could define it as the moment of data analysis. And it's not enough to copy and paste the impressions that emerge from the tests. A real comparison between the various cards in play is necessary. Do you re-

member the famous Google questionnaires administered to buyers during the Base Camp? Here, that is a first card, and then there is the one sent to us by the parent company and that of our testers. The magic wand of our copy manages to enclose in two thousand characters a clear, complete and as impartial as possible summary of all the opinions collected and an abnormal quantity of technical data. And it doesn't end there, because once the summary has been drawn up, a litmus test is necessary, and it is then shared within the team and checked further, before being sent to the next step, the graphic one, which will finally transfer it onto the page.

Conclusion. Feedback. Once cleaned and put in good shape, the material is ready to return to the original sender of the entire chain: the brands. What is shared is a bit of a preview of what will be the final review, the one that will end up printed, and the sharing takes place not so much for possible corrections or changes, but for a sense of correctness and transparency towards the parent

After all, what flows into that report page are the data collected over months of effort from countless different sources, a result of dialogues with hundreds of stores and comparisons with expert and reliable testers. In short, it is an honest and balanced review, a professional review, valid both for the companies themselves and for the final consumer.

Shooting. Layout. How much The Pill cares about details has already been said previously, and we would be lying not to underline how aesthetics are one, if not the, fundamental detail for us. After all, this is a world of stories often told through images. The eye wants its part, as they say, and we don't want to back down from this which is just one last challenge. The hope is to be able to create a Guide that will not be destined for the fire or the bin at the end of the season, but which, in its “detailed” entirety, will earn a place on your shelves and perhaps become a nice collector's item. Precisely for this reason, for this last part of the route we try to consider our Outdoor Guide as a graphic project. There's no need to say it, the direction is always that

of innovation. Daring, this is the keystone of our editorial project. This is also why, not infrequently, we launch into unconventional covers, which we seem to like as much as you do. It is clear that, in the case of the guide, the star guests are not the stories, but the products, to which we dedicate hours and hours in the shooting room. For each product tested, the goal is to create a shot that conveys all our impressions with minimalism, whilst remaining consistent with what the company sent us. Clean images without frills and artifices. Here the magic is done by the photographer, not photoshop. Once the textual and visual material has been completed, you can begin (and finish) with the layout.

We are almost at the end, don't despair. Printing is the last step in the chain and yes, of course, a WeTransfer file to our trusted printing company would be enough and we could finally rest, but we said it and it will come out of your ears: details matter! And in the case of printing it means that we prefer to show our face and go to the printing house in person. It is a short trip that does not even require leaving the borders of beautiful Saluzzo, where our editorial team has now taken root. Leaving the crazy phase of bus trips behind us, we set off towards the door of our trusted printing shop. We can already feel it, the smell of ink and the mechanical rhythm of the printing machines.

First of all, sustainability. “Living outdoors”. This is our mantra. And it is in the outdoors that we return to this closed cycle of tests, editorials, photographs and prints. Hours and hours of work that seem endless but are rewarded every time by the return to nature. She is our inspiring muse, and with a run through the woods or a ski run on the highest peaks, she manages to make us escape and recharge us with all the inspiration needed to start all over again, aiming one step higher. We are proud, and for this reason we do not hide our pride in having been among the first, in 2013, to dedicate entire columns to sustainability and the environment. Our production cycle is based on a dialogue between indoors and outdoors, between

editorial staff and nature, which pushes us towards awareness. There are choices that we cannot make lightly, unless we ignore that silent dialogue with nature which is the key reason for our love for this work. Without the voice of nature, all this makes no sense. This is why we are committed to making conscious choices regarding, for example, the paper we print on. The Pill's paper is recycled from unsold magazines and books on newsstands that would otherwise be sent to waste. And it doesn't end with the press. We take care of each of the 30.000 copies distributed in stores across Europe and sold online. We pay them in full. Nothing is destroyed, or worse, wasted. Nothing.

Winter trail running Test 2K24 Let the run begin, or rather let it not stop, not even in the cold

We have already said that The Pill's Outdoor Guide is the result of tiring and delicate work, a house of cards built with patience and precision that (we can say) border on the maniacal. It's an obstacle course of months and months and there is no part that is more important or that requires less effort. However (you knew there were going to be a but) it cannot be denied that there is a phase that makes us smile and despair more than any other.

Ready on Monte Due Mani in the Bergamo valleys

The Pill Trail Tests By Maria Laurenti

Always heated discussions on the new proposals of the various brands

Well yes, testers, we’re talking about you. A team of extraordinary trail runners (now also friends) who, fortunately for us and unfortunately for their less experienced companions, are capable of locking themselves in a room (sometimes a bivouac) in the mountains for three days and talking only about shoes. Shoes. And soles, midsoles, treads, uppers and everything that’s related. Lunches and dinners with a level of nerdiness that many of us don't even imagine and probably don't want to imagine.

But to get to those 76 hours of comparisons it is necessary to play quite a bit with the overlaps. Because our team of testers, far from being a uniform team of collaborators, eschews the specific niche and offers a diverse ensemble of characters. From professional runners to enthusiasts, from shopkeepers to podcasters, all with their personal lives and side commitments to balance. A difficult mission, but which also this year has found a space and time for realization.

This year the meeting was on Monte Due Mani, a corner of beauty north of the Lecco area. Surrounded by the breathtaking panorama of Grigne, Valsassina, Resegone, Lecco, Brianza and part of the Briantei Lakes, the testers tested themselves on every type of shoe and on every quality of terrain, ranging from rocks to roots, from runnable sections to technical descents, from wet to dry terrain. They ran, took photos, drank a few beers, all without ever stopping talking about shoes. The focus, clearly, was on winter products, but even though it was winter, there were quite a few seasonal innovations tested during this full immersion. From carbon shoes to more niche products, you will find everything in the trail running section of this guide.

Before declaring the testing days over, each shoe model has been carefully photographed (before being mistreated) and then kindly left in the hands of one of the testers, who put it in a suitcase and took it home, ready to test it again and again (till death do us part they say). Once the imprint has been made on the shoe and a clear idea has been imprinted in the mind, the time comes for the testers to fill out the forms, the legendary Google Forms from which the information is extracted to draw up the forms. The Forms themselves are sent to trusted retailers from whom we ask for further feedback, derived from a profound knowledge of the product, tit is not something we could do without. That being said, we’ve set all the premises, so let’s the guide or rather the run begin.

He’s the host of the first podcast about ultrarunning in Italy, Buckled, as well as creator of another dozen projects about the same issue. He has a serious problem with merchandising and site domains. If you think of a trail logo, he probably was the one who realized it.

One of the first collaborators of The Pill, an all round tester, from snowboarding to hiking and of course trail running. A true product fanatic, if you see a new brand distributed in Italy, he probably wrote about it in The Pill's Best Made column a couple of years ago.

Born and raised in the green Val di Fiemme in Trentino, she knows all the trails from the valley to the peaks, would it be running, ski mountaineering and hiking. She loves telling stories, always out (and always late) in the mountains or in the woods, what matters is to stay outdoor!

Shredding News The season told from behind the scenes: brands, news and FW23/24 goals

In this part of the guide, we will highlight what is the essence of the FW23/24 season for brands. Winter, we know, is now a theme that brings with it important topics of discussion, comparison and necessary intervention. For this reason, it seemed interesting to us to understand how each brand interprets the development of a collection, the reason behind some choices and the needs and the duties that each player in the outdoor world feels is theirs.

tion of the brand and drive consumers towards the sales points in the area. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? Quantum Free Pro & Cabrio Free Lite. Few brands boast such a broad and transversal collection, which covers all niches with appropriate models. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? Feedback from end users at every level is always taken into consideration and in particular that of our athletes, who are at the top of usage numbers. What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? As early as 2021, the company has started the energy transition towards a supply from renewable and CO2 offset sources, the first year for 50% and from the second onwards for all consumption. This commitment will continue in 2024. Furthermore, the plastic of some ski boot models in the collection has already been 100% recycled from production waste for a few years. In fact, in the wake of the European Life Reskiboot project, the Green Menace and Gaia lines for children are made with 90% recycled materials. The coming year will be the epilogue of a long and challenging project that lays the foundations for developing increasingly environmentally friendly products in the years to come.

Dalbello For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? Disruptive, confident, distinct, authentic, bold, fresh. “The 26-year-old performance-obsessed skier who wants to express his style and creativity up and down the slopes.” This is Dalbello's new corporate mantra. Founded in 1974, on the eve of its 50th anniversary the brand has a series of initiatives in store aimed at satisfying its loyal customers. What is the brand’s claim? How was

it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? Disruptive Performance. Performance but there’s more. An eye for comfort and production sustainability can be found in all models of the range. Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Brand re positioning In addition to research and development there will be important communication investments to improve the percep-

In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? For Dalbello, 2024 will mark the conclusion of the Life Reskiboot project, focused on the recovery and reuse of old ski boots. The aim is to create a system for recovering, reworking and finally re-marketing old ski boots used in Rental Shops. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? Digitally on our social networks and on our sites and physically in partner stores distributed throughout the national territory.

DPS For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? DPS Skis is a high performing ski manufacturing company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded in 2005, we are known for producing top-tier skis that offer exceptional precision, quality, durability and versatility for all levels and abilities. What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? The goal is to build the perfect ski. We strive to connect skier, ski and builder in an intimately connected triangle. For 23/24, the same remains true and our new products and initiatives reflect that. Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Kaizen construction builds on the horizontal lamination concepts explored in our Pagoda skis and layers dense vibration-absorbing ash in a new way and in a different location, using a new glue that has its own dampening properties. With our ash and poplar shock-absorbing core, it's a harmonious interaction that creates better skis and opens up exciting ideas for the future. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? Probably Carbon Kaizen 105. A ski that inspires confidence and allows you to have fun in all conditions. Featuring an entirely new shape, Kaizen 105 takes inspiration from DPS’ classic RP and C2 frames and fuses these features into a true all mountain freeriding ski. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? Our athletes play a fundamental role in the development of our skis every year. This season, Dash Longe, Piers Solomon and Santi Guzman helped develop the new Koala 111 and Kaizen 105 from the ground up. What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? We re-

cognize, as a brand, that we have a responsibility to treat the mountains and our environment with respect, so that we can pass on our love for skiing and for the outdoors to future generations. Every year we measure the company's overall carbon footprint. The emissions contained in the raw materials and finished products we purchase have by far the greatest impact, and transport comes next. In 2024 we will make important steps forward with the introduction of new programs such as the lifetime warranty and DPS Revive. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative

to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? A step forward is the introduction of our DPS Revive, a program that aims to reduce waste in the ski industry by refurbishing and reselling old skis and rewarding you with a credit towards the purchase of a new pair. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? Consumers can learn about our brand this summer by stopping by their local retailers to check out our new products.

Dynastar For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? In 1963, at the foot of Mont Blanc, a group of visionaries gave life to Dynastar, a journey lasting more than 60 years in the heart of the Chamonix Valley. "Cham" shaped the brand's history and values: passion, authenticity and boldness. Since 1963 Dynastar has proudly built its skis in the Sallanches factory. "Made in France" is not just a slogan, but the testimony of a history of innovation and success, from the Alpine skiing World Cup to freeriding. What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “We live skiing Join Us”. Every morning, the eyes go to the peaks. The mountain fuels our desire to discover and our determination to leave our mark. Every day asks us to search within ourselves, and our skis are designed exactly the same way, with enthusiasm, value and history.

Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Five years after introducing Hybrid Core technology, which combines the performance of wood with the vibration-damping qualities of PU, Dynastar introduces Hybrid Core 2.0. With this technology we seek to create more environmentally friendly skis, reducing environmental impact while improving performance. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? Dynastar E-Tour 85, seasonal news for ski mountaineering. The Hybrid Core 2.0 core offers reassuring handling in all weather and snow conditions. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? Athletes are part of the brand's DNA, from past glories such as Deborah Compagnoni to slalom champions like Frenchman Clément Noël.

is no future without the environment. Life cycle analysis (LCA) conducted on two pairs of Dynastar all mountain skis showed a significant decrease in the six main indicators measured. Hybrid Core 2.0 will save a total of 120 tons of CO2 equivalent compared to "traditional" Hybrid Core construction. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? We do not have a specific program, but we believe that the end of life of the equipment is an integral part of sustainability and for this reason we have commissioned LCA studies on some products, we are sensitive to the problem and looking for solutions. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? Dynastar will be present at the Free Practice Tour of Sci Italia and at The Pill Base Camp, as well as another series of events in Italy.

What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? Sustainable development is at the center of the company mission, because there

K2 For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? K2 has chosen to focus on the production of "fun and performing" products in all the different facets of the various typologies: from track to freeriding, from freestyle to mountaineering. Products that allow you to perform at your best on various terrains and snow conditions, but with the prerogative of being "intuitive". The goal is to get the user to smile.

What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “Go skiing and have fun!” Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. New line of piste/ freeriding ski boots with BOA System closure technology. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? Mindbender BOA 130 boots, Wayback 89 ski. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season?

At K2 athletes actively participate in the development of all innovative products. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? There are ongoing projects, currently recycling already exists for boots, plastic and shoes. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? In tests organized by our retailers.

La Sportiva For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? La Sportiva was founded in 1928 by Narciso Delladio who, with ingenuity and passion, understood the need for a new approach to footwear production. The origins in Val di Fiemme significantly influence the development of the brand and the design of its products. What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “Innovation with Passion” is the brand claim and it perfectly describes La Sportiva's daily activity: thinking of products, cultivating the culture of the prototype and immediately going to the mountains to try it, firsthand or with mountain professionals. Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Innovation: in materials, product design and technical and functional solutions. The FW23/24 collection fully embraces the company's development philosophy, just think of Stratos VI, the Alpine Tech line and the Free Touring line. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? A special mention goes to the Chaser free touring suit in Evo Shell by Sympatex, which manages to combine maximum waterproofness and breathability with great attention to the environment, thanks to the use of only recycled materials. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? The support of athletes and mountain professionals is at the center of our development process: it is thanks to the

constant two-way exchange of feedback with them that we guarantee the best technicality of our products. What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? Sustainability is a complex topic that requires a lot of time to avoid falling into easy rhetoric. In summary, our commitment aims to limit the company's environmental impact without reducing the technical nature of the products. We therefore act on various aspects, from the search for more sustainable materials that guarantee technical performance, to extending the life of products. Finally, renewable energy and reuse of waste materials are a key point for us.

In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? Regenerate, recycle and only lastly replace, we would like to suggest a careful analysis of your equipment and the actual replacement needs. Our laboratories process thousands of requests for the regeneration of worn components every year in order to guarantee the extension of the life of ski mountaineering boots. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? The winter ski tests will be an important event for us to tell everything that’s behind our models.

Movement

For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? In 1998 in Switzerland Richard Cattanéo and Serge Baud decided to create a ski brand inspired by a completely innovative vision and in 2001 the first Movement ski was marketed. To date the brand covers 95% of skiing practices. What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “The Freeski Company” this claim summarizes the soul of Movement which, for the FW23/24 season, returns to focus on the freestyle line, completing the range of products in the “free” sector at 360° together with the lines dedicated to freeriding and free touring, which have characterized the brand for years. Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Definitely the new cork tip: we have developed cork technology as an alternative to ABS. Cork technology is lighter and more sustainable. It will absorb all vibrations and bring more skiability and comfort. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? I would say the Fast Series. Super light and fast, the ultralight Paulownia wood core and the full carbon structure are perfect for fast&light climbs. A technical and fast range designed for skiers chasing ambitious goals. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? Thibhault Magning signs his promodel, Fly 90, effectively contributing to developing one of the most successful skis in the Movement collection: the Fly Series is in fact dedicated to those who love creativity.

What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? From innovative materials to eco-friendly manufacturing processes, every aspect is designed with the environment in mind. We believe that quality and sustainability go hand in hand. We are actively working to reduce our carbon footprint through energy efficiency and responsible sourcing practices. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? At the be-

ginning of the season it often happens that there are poor snow conditions but ski mountaineering enthusiasts do not give up on going out, in these conditions it may be useful to keep a set of old and compromised equipment dedicated to "stone skiing", the classic tool for the first run of the season. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? To stay updated on test dates, events and news related to Movement we recommend you keep updated on the website www.boardcore.it

Rossignol For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? Rossignol's DNA is intrinsically linked to its place of origin, the Alps, to its centuries-old history and to the creation in 1907 of the very first wooden skis forged by carpenter Abel Rossignol in his workshop in Voiron, Isère, France. 116 years of know-how, iconic products, sporting victories and collaborations with the greatest champions, a perpetual source of innovation and technicality. What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “Another best day”, interpreted in each product, trying to create equipment and clothing that transform every day on the snow into an unforgettable moment. Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Every curve,

every turn, is a work of art and it is precisely this idea that inspired the Rossignol engineers to create Forza skis, the most important innovation of the next 2023/24 winter season. Their secret is the oversized dimensions combined with the oversized sidecut that support different angles. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? Forza 70° V-Ti Konect. Designed for expert skiers looking for full speed carving and precise angles, it features oversized dimensions combined with an oversized sidecut. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? Athletes are an integral part of Rossignol's history and have always been involved in the development of products, starting from Alberto Tomba up to the champions of our times, such as Federica Brignone. What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? Commitment to the environment has been at the center of our mission for several years, which is why the Respect environmental progress program was launched in

2020, which envisages a 30% reduction in the carbon footprint by 2030 and neutrality by 2050. Furthermore, sustainable development is among the main goals of the Ascension 2026 economic development plan. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill. Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? The Essential ski, 77% recyclable thanks to the possibility of easily separating the various components, is certainly a first answer. Rossignol has collaborated with MTB, a leading company in the recycling field, which has developed a new process for crushing, selecting, separating and recycling materials. Furthermore, every year Rossignol collects thousands of used but still usable skis. With the One for One program these skis are provided to charitable organizations. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? We will be at the Free Practice Tour, organized by Pool Sci Italia, as well as at the event by The Pill Base in Sestriere and Folgaria and other events throughout Italy.

Scott For those who don't know the brand: what, where, for how long and above all for whom? Scott Sports is a company founded in 1958. Starting from the production of ski poles, it has built a multisport group capable of covering various sporting and outdoor disciplines. Our mission is to inspire all skiers to embrace the emotion and explore the freedom of winter sports by providing them with the most innovative products while respecting the environment and the mountains. What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “Freedom to Explore”. It's all about the freedom to choose your own path, to act on your instincts, pushing the limits of what you know. It is the freedom to have no expectations other than your own, to make precision and preparation your own, to move without fear of failure. Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. The Head To Toe concept is 100% Scott’s philosophy. Our goal is to dress the athlete and the enthusiast from head to toe, leaving nothing to chance and offering the best garments and accessories to "play" in the best way on the snow. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? Our new Pure Tour 100, a multipurpose ski with a light weight for touring and freeriding geometries. More than 50% ecological content to respect the mountains without sacrificing maximum performance. Certified poplar wood core, natural flax fiber reinforcements, insole, edges and top sheet made partly from recycled materials. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? In product development, athletes do important work as testers, pushing ma-

terials to their limits. For the entire new Pure ski collection we relied on the experience of Jérémie Heitz, Scott athlete and internationally renowned freerider. What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? The ReSource by Scott project which now involves a large part of the Scott Winter collection. Initially present on the softgoods side, it soon expanded to the accessory and tool families with goggles, helmets, boots and skis designed and developed with respect for the environment. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill.

Do you have any initiative to give new life to products or a smart way to dispose of and recycle them? Plastic waste is a global problem and here at Scott we are committed to reducing its impact. Our Circular Vision goggle recycling project involves collecting old Scott goggles that have lived beyond their useful life and recycling their frames into new ones. Where will consumers find your brand this winter? At the beginning of the season we will be in Cervinia for the Skitest Free To Ski. Following this, there will be a series of experiences in various locations in the Alpine Arc.

What is the brand’s claim? How was it interpreted for the development of the FW23/24 products? “Shining bright for the next 100 years.” Celebrating the brand's first century, we prepare to ride the next one!

Shredding News: a product, a technology or simply a concept. Three elements to summarize the brand's work for the FW23/24 season. Nanotechnological dosage of the most up-to-date technologies depending on the product in which they are applied. Tailor carbon fiber, tailored Titanal frames placements, green cores. All the cores are produced with wood from FSC certified cultivations, glued with low environmental impact glues and assembled with foams derived from recycled PET. If you could choose the best product from the FW23/24 collection, what would it be? The most important news for the Italian market is the new version of the Raceteiger RC and SC models. New geometries and new constructions with additions of Titanium and particular carbon inserts that make two of the iconic products of the Völkl collection even richer. How much did the athletes collaborate in product development this season? The feedback that comes from end users at every level is always taken into consideration. Particularly those of our athletes who are at the top of the pyramid in

terms of days of use on snow. Particularly for the Revolt line, the team's contribution is fundamental, so much so that the successful claim for several seasons has been "Built Together"! What is your commitment to the environment for the year 2024? Völkl's commitment to the environment is now a distinctive feature. Both at the level of the production plant in Germany and in the choice of materials to be used. In the ski world, old or no longer usable equipment still often ends up in landfill.

Vibram Elite Sole Alpinism:

Tales of history and revolution with Hervé Barmasse A new project born from an issue that is clear to everyone: why the world leader in the manufacturing of soles doesn’t have a package that also includes the midsole? Here in summer 2024 you will be able to choose to build a shoe that includes Vibram Sole System, a sole + midsole package specifically designed, engineered and tested to give the best performance that such a combination can give. To realize this project even more ambitious, four special editions of Elite Sole have been created for different disciplines with the involvement of those who have used and known these soles over the years: trail runners, climbers, snowboarders and even a mountaineer, Hervé Barmasse. Who better than him could tell us about the Elite Sole Alpinism project? How did your story with Vibram begin? I have always been very fascinated by the story of a strong mountaineer guy who later became a great entrepreneur thanks to his incredible intuitions, Vitale Bramani. This is what has drawn me to this brand five years ago, which is something more than an outdoor brand and whose history is incredible. What everything starts from, the intuition after the tragedy, the question: "But what can I do to ensure that certain

things won't happen anymore?" Then Vitale began to study the Pirelli rubber of the tyres, in order to be able to make a sole to replace the studded leather ones or the Comici ones. The revolutionary lug sole, the first, has led to continuous innovation: just think of sport climbing, the major brands, thanks to Vibram, have continued to accompany the climber to ever greater performance. From there the way of climbing changed, the performance only increased. In Italy we have many beautiful stories thanks to our historical cultural past and the one of outdoor entrepreneurship is incredible. The spirit that existed in the 60s, like that of Bramani, started not from the need to do business but from the idea of being able to bring about improvement, to solve problems and this spirit is what brings true innovation. Let's get to today. What are the advantages of integrating midsole and sole?

One of the first things when we started developing products and ideas together with the Vibram team, the tester team and the R&D department was a question: “How come you only sell the soles and don't have a package?” you never know where a very high performance sole is mounted on: the study of a complete package could lead to optimizing fundamental factors such as insulation, grip and comfort. Various projects started from there, including the Sole System and the huge Elite Sole that we are talking about now. All the right ingredients are there: on the one hand the grip and durability of a sole, the grip, the soft structure for climbing but also other factors such as insulation from the cold, cushioning designed specifically for each activity. Let's take mountaineering: in this very serious period, the snow is lacking and a boot from twenty years ago is no longer suitable.

Technology Brands By Alessandra Sola

How long ago did the Elite Sole Alpinism project begin? Two and a half years ago: the first months of research for a new design of the sole, how to better isolate the upper from the midsole, how we could adjust an ideal roll for mountaineering, how to lighten it. A careful study had to be done at the base and then starting with the prototype and with it all the problems related to the period: often the samples and raw materials were not easy to obtain due to the post-pandemic bubble situation for which it was difficult to receive material on time. So this sole has been tested by multiple testers? I gave the inputs and tested firsthand, then the Vibram test team also tested it. Whoever is inside the project can be influenced, which is why other people, who are not influenced by the work behind it, must test it in order to have an objective and honest opinion. People of different weights, heights, origins and

needs, with different shoes, must try it. If everything goes well, you are sure you have achieved the result. Is there a shoe that is truly the perfect match with Elite Sole Alpinism? Potentially all the shoes ranging from approach to classic mountaineering up to those new cramponable shoes with low ankles. It has a fairly wide range of use, and when a company wants to mount it on a shoe a further step is taken to make the package specific to the individual shoe. It seems incredible because you see a sole and it seems like there is nothing mechanical about it, but instead it works exactly like a car. Do you remember a moment in the mountains when you believe that having Elite Sole Alpinism under your feet would have changed/improved your expedition? In general, any climbing where the performance is given by

the time you have to spend for safety reasons, the lightness and weight of the boot and above all the comfort. With this sole you can go kilometers and kilometers as if it were a running shoe without realizing it. Almost all expeditions done in the past would have benefited from it. How much does such a product need to be complemented by capabilities? Can it be a tool for everyone? The project was born to create a package that can be adapted not only to any shoe but also to any person who uses it. If you have more grip, you are more isolated, more comfortable, you tire your foot less... It's a benefit for anyone. It is different from the case of a technical carbon boot, the complete product is more selective. In this case, however, the technologies applied to a sole + midsole essentially work. It is a product that, although high end, is for everyone.

“Made To Go Beyond”

Polartec Windbloc

Il nuovo posizionamento del brand Polartec

“Made To Go Beyond” represents an evolution for the American brand and will form the basis of all future communications of Polartec, responding to evolving consumer needs and market trends. This is confirmed by the words of Eric Yung, Managing Director of Polartec: “Polartec has evolved and, by updating its philosophy and aligning it with today's values, it will be increasingly better positioned to come into contact with customers who give priority to sustainability and innovation with your purchasing choices. Made To Go Beyond perfectly reflects the way in which Polartec questions the status quo and the courage to generate change. It demonstrates character, resilience and the ability to face challenges head on, because it is important to us first and foremost.” “Made To Go Beyond” embodies the innovative spirit of the brand, which has always been launched to keep up with changes and anticipate them by leading the way. In fact, the history of Polartec has always had innovation at its center, just think of the invention of synthetic fleece. “We have partnered with UK agency Mynt to shape the future of Polartec. We started from the solid foundations of our past to create a new brand identity, which reflects its continuous innovation and ability to provide increasingly sustainable solutions to best respond to today's and the near future's challenges.” This is the statement from Alessandro Perseo, Marketing Director of Polartec and promoter of the campaign

dedicated to B2B and B2C, which will be activated on multiple channels and touchpoints and will also see the launch of the new Brand Video. After all, as Perseo always states “Polartec is Made To Go Beyond, it always has been.”

Ribelle Tech 3D is the new SCARPA boot inspired by Ueli Steck The new Ribelle Tech 3 HD boot, the result of the collaboration between Polartec and SCARPA, is a real mountaineering jewel. Sequel to the iconic Ribelle Tech Boot of 2017, it effortlessly defeats its predecessor by fusing the running shoe with the mountain boot. What acts as a suture is the word innovation, which brings the most recent technologies available in the sector to the work table, managing to converge maximum comfort, breathability, durability and elasticity in a single product. A combination that is ensured by the use of components such as the Vibram Megagrip sole, an extremely resistant compound with

unparalleled grip properties on both dry and wet terrains, and by the inclusion, for the lining, of Polartec Windbloc, an exclusive membrane that offers protection from wind, water and rain and at the same time allows an excellent level of breathability and quick drying, thanks to the escape of water vapour. This durable membrane features durable stretch and plenty of movement during activity, even in the most extreme conditions.

HDry

The intuition that guides the technological development of HDry is as simple as it is effective: moving the waterproofing barrier as far as possible towards the surface of the equipment, eliminating any space between the layers where water can penetrate.

100

HDry is a waterproof and breathable technology for footwear, gloves and backpacks. In the footwear category, the innovation patented by HDry lies entirely in how the membrane is "integrated" onto the upper (meaning the external part of the shoe). Even today, in fact, in most waterproof shoes with a membrane, this one is positioned inside the shoe, glued to the lining. The water can therefore penetrate through the upper and is stopped by the membrane only when it has already entered the shoe. Clearly, it is not the ideal solution, because even if the water does not reach the foot, it stagnates in the shoe and weighs it down, making it wet and “cold”. The HDry construction, on the other hand, thanks to a patented direct and

“3D” lamination process, instead unites the membrane to the upper, in this way moving the "waterproofing barrier" as much as possible on the outer layer of the shoe, in order to block any possible penetration of water. The advantages of this technology are substantially the same that we find in a 3-layer technical jacket where the external fabric and membrane are joined together: water cannot penetrate, which would happen instead if the membrane were joined to the lining of the jacket (as happens precisely in shoes with “waterproof lining”). HDry technology is also highly appreciated in technical gloves: no water penetration between the layers of the glove also means greater lightweight and more breathability, important advantages in outdoor or intensive mountaineering use. It is a revolutio-

Technology Brands By Alessandra Sola

nary concept which continues to spread above all thanks to the effective satisfaction of end consumers, who have found in HDry the solution to the problem of wet and cold gloves. What are the diffrences compared to the traditional construction of a glove? The innovation lies in the process of direct "3D" lamination of the HDry waterproof and breathable membrane to the outer fabric, so that the gloves do not get soaked by water as happens with the traditional construction where the membrane is simply inserted between the outer fabric and the lining. What are the advantages of using HDry technology? By eliminating water infiltration, HDry gloves remain much lighter than a model with a traditional

membrane, they drie much faster and keep the hand warm, as there is no more stagnation of frozen water between the outer fabric and the membrane. Furthermore, the patented "3D" process avoids the use of seams and tapes in the fingertip area, in this way increasing the dexterity of the glove and guaranteeing a very precise fit. In addition HDry offers many concrete benefits in terms of sustainability and this is also why many brands are adopting this technology. In fact, HDry represents one of those cases in which a more effective use of materials with modern construction techniques allows greater sustainability. That’s because by placing the same membrane as much as possible on the outside, waterproofing is made more effective and wa-

ter penetration is avoided. This means a lower need to use water repellent treatments on the upper and a longer life of the footwear, whose structural components are not exposed to the action of hydrolysis. Furthermore, since HDry is not a manufacturer of membranes, it is not tied to a particular material or polymer and can therefore choose the best performing materials with the least environmental impact. Just recently, HDry has presented "b5", a membrane in which 53% is “plant-based" that means of vegetable origin, significantly contributing to the reduction of the use of raw materials of fossil origin. HDry is also PTFE-free , PFCs-free and Oeko-Tex certified.

Ski How to choose your skis

Mountains are getting notoriety year after year, seeing an increase in the number of enthusiasts and visitors. Consequently, the market has also adapted, offering a wide range of possibilities capable of covering everyone’s needs. Each company has its own touring and freeriding line, some also have a racing range. Since every need has the ski designed to satisfy it, first of all it is necessary to understand your personal and real need, without influences dictated by fashions or market dynamics.

Wider is better? Size matters

When choosing a ski, size matters. But let’s start with the basic parameters. Over the course of history, taking inspiration from the snowboard world, which thanks to its surface floats very well on powder, even skis have widened. If some time ago being able to handle very long skis with a certain class was synonymous with skill, today knowing how to surf with wide skis does not only mean being a freerider, but belonging to a community. So how wide should a ski be? People who are small and light will float without problems already with 90-95mm under their feet, while an excessively wide ski would lead to some limits when managing the tool. Those who are heavier will inevitably need a wider ski. Floating, in fact, does not depend solely on the width of the ski, but on the construction

102

and the relationship between the weight of the skier and the ski surface. If you prefer spring outings and always go to the same location, or if, on the contrary, you are outside from December to April and you often travel across the Alps, change. In short, “wide is better” is not always true, especially if you prefer versatility.

bility on the descent. Finally, for freeriding it will certainly be appropriate to sacrifice some lightweight and maneuverability in favor of floatation in deep powder and stability at high speeds.

How to choose the right length. Let’s not forget about skills

All of us, as always, have the fault of wanting “to eat the cake and keep it”. So, when we talk about the perfect ski, we would like to find an ultralight model for the ascent, super stable on the descent and suitable for all snow conditions and slopes. It does not take a genius to understand that it is utopia. For those who practice touring the right way is the compromise: low weight to climb and mixed construction solid enough for skiing. Keep in mind that when it comes to touring, extremes are generally not good. While it is true that a light ski can make you less tired on the ascent, it is equally true that it risks being too flexible and losing effectiveness on the descent at higher speeds. Similarly, if it is true that a ski with a more solid structure can make us feel more stable and confident in steep and fast descents or on difficult snow, it is equally true that a heavier weight could tire us too much uphill. To choose the weight of the ski, therefore, we should do an estimate, albeit approximate, of the indicative height difference that we intend to travel during the season, also taking into consideration what kind of skier we are.

Too often people tend to choose the length of their skis by evaluating only their height. Even limiting yourself to considering your own goals risks being reductive. On the other hand, an essential factor, often overlooked, is your own technical ability. Saying: “if you practice ski touring, a ski of your height will be fine”, although not entirely wrong, can be misleading. If the skier in front of us is 1,60m tall, but is a former athlete with high technical skills, a ski of the same height is certainly not the best choice to allow him to make the most of the tool. It is therefore correct to consider the relationship between the height of the skier and his technical ability and, of course, his purpose when going to the mountains. If you are aiming to train by grinding uphill elevation gain, it will be useful to consider a shorter ski. If you prefer free touring, then a compromise is the best choice: a ski that is neither too long nor too wide, which offers maneuverability on the ascent but also guarantees good sta-

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Serpo is the energetic and versatile ski that glides lightly from the slopes into the backcountry Serpo is a dynamic and cheerful companion, for those who are not looking for a specific ski but for fun and pleasure in multiple conditions. Its ideal terrain is the slope but, thanks to the 93mm wide base, it allows you to move easily even on short off piste tours. What makes it truly special is its energetic flex which refers to the ski’s ability to bend and react dynamically under pressure, creating a prompt and powerful response when needed. Thanks to the metal layer incorporated into its construction, Serpo offers incredible grip and stability, meaning you can tackle even the most challenging slopes with confidence. Furthermore, the presence of Titanal helps to minimize unwanted vibrations, providing greater stability. This is especially important when traversing rough terrain or negotiating challenging curves. With its 20m radius we do not recommend it for beginners but for more aggressive skiers with a more advanced technique who love the feeling of being able to attack the slopes with determination and precision. The edge grip is stable and resistant throughout the entire curve arc, it “bites” firmly when entering the curve and allows it to slide fluidly all the way out. The poplar wood core, combined with the Titanal reinforcements at the center of the ski, allows for an excellent response under the foot, dynamic and reactive in different types of terrain, from the smoothest to the most deteriorated ones.

Like its big brother 112, it has all the technical features that a freeride ski must possess: structural solidity, buoyancy and reactivity. Ideal for expert skiers looking for the best performance in deep snow.

It maintains the lightness and performance characteristics of the other models in the range, available in a narrower version. Excellent for long tours in the open mountains on more compact or transformed snow, typical of the spring season.

The “leanest” of the Impulse range and, for this reason, the most versatile one. In addition to its freeriding use, thanks to its structure and excellent torsional rigidity, it has excellent behavior on the beaten and compact terrain of the slopes.

Sheeva 11

This new generation of freeride skis guarantees maximum fun and versatility, combined with a feeling of safety and control, from groomed slopes to powder. The secret is the balanced flex offered by the Trueblend Freeride Woodcore, made up of three different types of wood, integrated with the new FluxForm technology with a positioning of the Titanal that reduces torsional force in the tip and tail, adding stability and control.

For freeriders looking for immaculate landscapes far from the resorts and willing to face the climb to reach them, Blizzard has always had the perfect answer with the Zero G line, which has set a precedent in the sector. The ultra light Paulownia core, combined with the proven Carbon Drive technology in its version 3.0, guarantees efficiency when ascending with skins, with a sensation of greater stability and homogeneity when descending

Created for the most expert freeriders and for athletes with a progressive skiing style looking for the steepest terrain with the deepest snow. The perfectly balanced flex of the Trueblend Freeride Woodcore offers a pleasant and fun feeling: the skis are never heavy and are stable at speed and easy to pivot. The result of Blizzard’s exclusive W2W program, they have a softer shock-absorbing platform in the center.

Blizzard Rustler 11

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The perfect ski for facing slopes with meters of powder. Balanced, easy to handle and super fun. For true connoisseurs “Did you seen how much snow is going to br tomorrow? It’s Rustler 11 time!” With a width of 114mm, this ski is the flagship of the Rustler collection, hungry for powder. It’s certainly not designed for groomed slopes, but it’s unsurpassed when it comes to mastering descents and extreme terrain. Rustler 11 has earned the trust of Freeride World Tour athletes, stars of the big screen and all those people seeking maximum performance. The real star of this ski is the Fluxform technology, which integrates two Titanal plates on each side, offering superior stability and the necessary cushioning both in the front and in the rear part of the ski. It narrows at the tips for flawless flotation, while it expands at the tails for extra support when turning powder and landing after jumps. The Trueblend Free Woodcore, the wood core composed of beech and poplar, offers a softer flex at the tip and tail to facilitate curve entry and power release, a medium flex near the bindings for safe control and a flex stiffer in the center of the ski, right under the bindings, for edge grip and perfect stability. We Like Lightness and fluidity with which the ski transports you along the snow-laden slopes. Use Freeride

Blizzard Zero G 95

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The most versatile ski in the Zero G line, perfect for long tours, without compromising the enjoyment of skiing down wide slopes Highly performing ski, light but super stable, it does not disappoint riders, whether it is hard snow or fresh snow. The ultra light Paulownia wood core, combined with Blizzard’s proven Carbon Drive technology in its version 3.0, offers efficiency when climbing with skins, along with a feeling of stability and uniformity during the descents. Carbon Drive 3.0 technology represents an evolution compared to the previous version, Carbon Drive 2.0. This new technology incorporates a 3D unidirectional carbon fiber frame that runs across the entire length of the ski, along with an ultra light Paulownia wood core, to achieve less stiffness at the tip and tail, transmitting greater handling throughout the entire arc of the curve. Tested on hard snow it performed well, perhaps slightly too elastic when exiting turns but still transmitting excellent control and excellent edge hold, even at high speed. We would recommend it to advanced and expert skiers who love to explore the backcountry, even on multi-day trips, or to those who love slightly more “pushed” adventures on difficult and challenging terrains. We Like its easy handling makes it the ideal ski even if you want to tackle steep couloirs or more technical slopes. Use Ski Touring, Free Touring

DPS Carbon Kaizen 105

THE PILL TESTED 2024

A work of art that inspires confidence in skiers of all levels and offers maximum fun on every slopes and in any conditions Kaizen 105 features a completely new shape, taking DPS’ classic RP and C2 frames as inspiration and fusing these features into an authentic all mountain freeriding ski. The evolution also concerns the construction, as the new core is split and the laminate is in carbon fiber. These two elements, combined together, give stability throughout the entire curve and a fluid and reactive response. Tested ion powder, the floatation is great, even at higher speeds. The heart of Kaizen rests on the horizontal lamination concepts that DPS has perfected in the Pagoda model, layering the ash wood in an innovative configuration, designed to absorb vibrations in a superior way. In fact, although it was a little more nervous on the hard track, the ski responded energetically and without skidding. This peculiarity makes it a multi-purpose model, ideal for those who love skiing in any condition, without having to commit to finding the perfect spot for the day. Additionally, the carbon fiber was developed using the proven methods of the Pagoda Tour line, ensuring unprecedented energy optimization. Thanks to the shock-absorbing core of ash and poplar, DPS has managed to create a harmonious interaction that results in a superior quality ski. Kaizen 105 is the perfect combination of innovation, performance and fun, ready to give you an extraordinary experience on mountain slopes. We Like Floatation in powder without sacrificing precision in the most technical sections. Use Freeride, All Mountain

K2 Wayback 89

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The new K2 bomb for ski touring! Completely revolutionized and with a new look, K2’s Wayback 89 represents the perfect ski for all ages. This new collection introduces three revolutionary technologies: 1. “Ti Spyne”: an innovation that increases stability and shock absorption, typical in the light structures of touring skis. 2. “Carbon Overdrive”: a unidirectional carbon fiber that has been integrated into the layups to keep the ski light and highly responsive. 3. “Snophobic Topsheet”: waterepellent topsheet, designed to prevent snow buildup, helping to keep the ski light. The construction of K2’s Wayback 89 combines several materials, including Paulownia for the core, titanium reinforcements and carbon fiber, all bonded together with bioresin to highlight the company’s focus on eco-sustainability. We were able to test it in different conditions and on powder, Wayback 89 offers exceptional buoyancy, demonstrating balanced and easy management in inversions even on the most challenging slopes. Downhill, this ski guarantees pure fun, with optimal reactivity and effective flotation, offering precision in turns. On the track or in hard surface conditions, the new Wayback 89 is a real revelation, offering precision and cleanliness in every phase of the turn. It is not excessively nervous, and the uniform distribution of forces allows for a balanced ski. The 19 meter radius makes it extremely versatile, capable of offering fun in both tight and wide turns. We Like When tackling climbs on more technical terrains, the 89mm width underfoot represents an excellent compromise, avoiding excessive twisting at the ankles and improving safety during long traverses.

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Reliable companion for those seeking the adrenaline of the most demanding descents MTN 91 Carbon is an ideal choice for those who like to challenge the steepest descents in the mountains. Its lightweight construction and the 91mm width underfoot have been carefully designed to facilitate the ascent to the top. In fact, tested uphill and on terrain worked by wind and ice, MTN 91 Carbon performed admirably, displaying excellent grip. Once reached the top, this ski reveals its potential with a shape reminiscent of traditional downhill skis, ensuring exceptional stability and safety, regardless of the turning trajectories chosen. The construction of MTN 91 Carbon incorporates the Cork Damplifier system, which significantly contributes to improving the skiing experience. The cork material acts as an effective shock absorber, reducing vibrations and shocks from uneven or hard snow. This allows you to maintain optimal control over your skis even in difficult conditions, essential when you find yourself in exposed couloirs or steep slopes. The combination of a medium-length camber and a rocker in the front area of the tool can be felt: the camber offers exceptional grip on beaten terrain and on icy slopes, ensuring safety even on compact and hard snow. Meanwhile, the rocker at the front facilitates floating on fresh snow, ensuring fun even on those powder days. This combination makes MTN 91 Carbon an incredibly versatile ski, suitable for a wide range of snow conditions, offering a smooth and confident run in any situation. We Like Lightweight and stability do not compromise the ability to adapt to different snow conditions, on the contrary! Use Ski Touring

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Stable, durable and lightweight, Superguide 88 is the perfect ski for multi-day trips or single-day adventures with challenging descents Superguide 88 represent strue excellence in the field of touring skis thanks to its ability to offer an extraordinary skiing experience both uphill and downhill. Lightness during the climb is a fundamental aspect for touring skiers, as it reduces fatigue and makes the ascent more efficient. This ski achieves its lightweight thanks to the ultralight Paulownia wood core, which is a material known for its strength and low weight. During the descent, when grip is essential to convey safety and performance, Superguide 88 makes the difference. Here, the use of carbon and aramid fibers comes into play giving the ski extraordinary stability and reactivity and making them suitable for even the most extreme situations. The Sidecut 3Dimension Touring design is a further element that contributes to solidity, offering precision in every curve arc and during edge changes. In summary, Superguide 88 is a ski that has cleverly combined the lightness necessary for the ascent with the stability and grip required for the descent, making it the ideal choice for touring enthusiasts looking for a perfect balance between uphill performance and great descents.

Lightweight, solidity, reliability: these are the key points on which the Bormio company worked to create this ski for the light touring segment. The 14-layer construction, combined with the honeycomb aramid core, stops the weight around one kilo. Thanks to this feature, it performs very well uphill, allowing you to cover large distances with skins in the open mountains. Downhill it is stable and high performing, adapting to any type of terrain.

The widest of the Ski Trab’s Light Pro Touring range. It shares the design idea and the 14-layer construction technique with a honeycomb aramid core with the other skis in the line. The goal, achieved, was to obtain a low weight ski with all the functions of a free touring model. The 90mm width in the centre, combined with the new spatula geometries, allow for better buoyancy on deep snow without affecting uphill performance.

For expert skiers looking for performance both uphill and downhill. The Liwood Air construction technology, which combines different wood essences, allows you to obtain a ski that is as light as it is stable and responsive when skiing. The core, enclosed in a high modulus carbon fiber cage, allows for an increase in torsional rigidity under the foot, making the response of the ski progressive and precise. Excellent behavior on steep slopes, even with hard or windy snow.

Ski Trab Neve

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Ski Trab Neve is the versatile and multipurpose ski, designed for free touring. Its construction, based on a core composed of two types of wood with different levels of rigidity and elasticity, reinforced by layers of carbon and fiberglass under the foot, results in a ski that is almost indestructible in the center, but which allows certain flexibility in the tip and tail, while maintaining good rigidity. This feature between tip and tail minimizes vibrations and allows for better grip on variable terrains. Tested on hard snow, Ski Trab Neve was comfortable and offered stability that approaches the levels of high end piste skis. However, the low weight requires constant attention when managing the load, as it does not tolerate distractions. For this reason we would like to recommend it to skiers with a medium-high level. The surface of the ski appears to be resistant and durable over time, demonstrating good robustness during the tests, even after falls or narrow passages during the ascent. The choice of this ski mainly depends on the user’s preferences and the balance sought in a product. This ski is somewhere in the middle and doesn’t represent an extreme niche specialization. With its 93mm underfoot, Ski Trab Neve does not fall into the category of “big” freeriding skis nor into that of narrow models. However, the width of 93mm under the foot, in our opinion, represents an excellent compromise that takes into consideration both the downhill needs and the low weight of the ski. This width offers good support on the descent, but at the same time does not lead to excessive torsion during traverses, which certainly require more attention than a narrower ski. We Like Its downhill stability makes it even more rewarding for those seeking adrenaline. Use Free Touring Size 174 181 188cm

For all mountain skiers who want to push off piste, for freeriders and for those willing to sacrifice a small increase in weight to enjoy the downhill lines to the fullest Blaze 86, with the width under the boot suggested by its name, offers exceptional choice with four different lengths available. This ski is designed to offer an optimal combination of smooth riding in powder and lightness on the slopes. One of the features that struck us about the Blaze 86 is its 3D radius sidecut which guarantees unique handling, smoothness and versatility in this genre. But what makes it even more special is its construction with a wood core that extends from tip to tail. Solution which not only reduces the overall weight of the ski, giving it greater liveliness, but also contributes to a positive environmental impact by eliminating the need to use plastic panels. In the off-piste tests it behaved like a gentleman, from the immaculate powder slopes to those already touched by the wind, where the snow was starting to feel crustier, it appeared extremely stable and structured. When going uphill, it adhered adequately to the ground, making it suitable even for the most difficult terrain, where there is a probability of finding ice or wet snow. We would recommend it to expert skiers with a good technical level, good control and who love to take nice turns at speed.

Versatile ski for all those expert riders who want to “give gas” on the downhill but also want to enjoy the views along the climb with as little effort as possible Ubac 102 is a ski that stands out for its minimal weight when climbing, despite having a width of 102mm. This combination of lightweight and width is the result of an intelligent design that puts it in an advantageous position compared to the competition. Tested in different conditions, between off piste powder and soft snow on the slopes, Ubac 102 seemed to us to be a multipurpose ski, dedicated to those who love freeriding but also look for fun on the slopes or on different terrains. Thanks to the Paulownia core, the ski is light and resistant and, unlike a foam core, the wood core is decidedly more eco-sustainable and it also offers greater longevity.

Bindings How to choose your ski bindings

The evolution of technology has truly changed the performance of ski touring bindings. The market is now very varied and you can find different types of bindings, although perhaps the most interesting, also with regard to the evolution of materials and performance, are low tech ones. By the way, did you know why they are called in this way? In the 1980s, when Fritz Barthel invented the pin, everything had to be high tech to be successful, given the rise of the computer. In contrast to this concept, a binding with simple, light mechanics was born: this is how Barthel decided to call it “low tech”. In more than 30 years of evolution, binding companies have created products that are lighter and more performing both uphill and downhill. The market is full of alternatives, how to choose then?

Different types of bindings

Starting from minimalistic and low weight models, we have low tech race bindings, between 100 and 300g for single binding, perfect for competitions, training and to be mounted on skis oriented to climbing performance. They are generally mounted without ski stoppers. Then we have the real low tech models that can now weigh from 300 to 700g: these are the classic ski mountaineering bindings, which now guarantee excellent downhill performances. Then there are hybrid bindings, such as the Marker King pPin and the Salomon Shift: they ensure maximum safety when descending with a low weight. Finally there are plate bindings: heavy but

156

rock solid on the descent, these only make sense for short ascents and are more freeriding oriented than classic touring bindings.

Skistopper or leash?

The choice of mounting the stopper or using the leash is a choice that can almost always be made regardless of the binding you buy. Of course, if you use a “race” binding it makes little sense to add weight with the stopper, while on a classic low tech binding for touring or free touring it does not change much in terms of weight and is very useful and safe. Imagine falling a steep descent and while you roll down you are left with the ski connected to the boot via the leash: it’s not that nice. It is often a question of habit but indicatively those who compete or practice conservative ski mountaineering prefer the leash. The aggressive freetourer, on the other hand, will prefer to have a ski stopper. When buying bindings with stoppers it is important to check their width, which changes according to the width of the ski under the foot.

DIN settings

When buying a pair of ski touring bindings it is very important to check the range drop. One DIN is equivalent to approximately 12kg of force, which would be the force exerted by the boot during skiing. People who weigh less will have to buy bindings with low DIN, otherwise during a fall they will never release, and on the other hand those who weigh more will have to use bindings with high DIN, otherwise they will release at every turn. It is important to adjust the DIN when mounting the bindings.

Rampant holder

Rampants are very useful tools when climbing on frozen snow, where the skins or the edges are not enough to guarantee a good grip. If you practice spring or high mountain ski mountaineering and are used to using rampants, it is important to check that the binding is equipped with a rampant holder. Almost all low tech bindings come out with an integrated slot.

Heel riser

In low tech bindings, when climbing, the toe remains attached to the pins that pivot and allow walking movement, while the heel remains free. Depending on the climb, you can choose whether to use the heel riser or not: in some cases it facilitates the progression by straining the legs less. While “race” bindings generally only have one level of heel riser, there are others that have two, if not three. If you like walking uphill with the heel raised, before purchasing, check that the heel unit has the type of heel riser you are looking for.

Weight/ performance ratio

If in the past only plate bindings allowed a maximum safe and performing descent, in recent years technologies have developed a lot and we now see low tech bindings with reduced weight on the market. Today the conception that more weight means a better binding has been cleared. That’s why we invite you to take a look at this year’s latest bindings that with a ridiculous weight guarantee excellent performance. Seeing is believing.

Boots How to choose your ski boots

It is a widespread tendency, in sports whose practice is closely linked to a tool, to focus all our attention on that single gear. But we tend to forget a fundamental aspect: what puts us in relation with it. As we have already seen, choosing the right ski is essential, but in this short guide we will try to give the right advice also for the boots that, if wrong, risk compromising an entire season. Often we realize too late that we have made a mistake in the choice of boots, therefore, since if well kept they can last several seasons, it is necessary to understand which aspects to pay more attention to during the purchase phase.

The fit

After having admired its aesthetic details, the fit is the first thing we notice when we put our foot in the boot. Each company offers models with more or less comfortable fit according to the shape of the sole of the foot. It is important to underline that these are not subjective considerations, but depend on a precise number that companies derive by measuring the distance, in millimeters, between metatarsals. When buying a pair of boots it is good to know our MP (Mondopoint) number. It is a foolproof and unified system that takes into account the exact centimeters of the insole inside the boot. Don’t worry, it is not necessary to do Car-

tesian mathematical calculations to find it, in general it corresponds to the length of the foot in cm. The main purpose of the boot is to transmit the force that the movement of our foot allows to impart to the ski. For this it is essential that the foot is well enveloped. A rather tight fit is the most effective in terms of power transmission when descending. However, care must be taken not to overdo it. While it is fair to look for a fit that does not let the foot free to wander in the shoe, it is equally true that it must not be so tight as to cause unpleasant blisters or tingling.

Weight/stiffness compromise

For those who practice ski mountaineering, the weight you carry while climbing is of fundamental importance, as the performance of the boot on the descent. A “race” boot with a carbon cuff won’t be as stiff and solid as a Grilamid cuff, exceptional for climbing but, by direct consequence, less suitable for supporting the foot-ankle-knee action downhill. For touring, companies are now working hard to offer the best possible compromise: a reduced weight with a sufficiently solid structure. The ideal solution for all those who experience the climb as a pleasant and necessary walk to fully enjoy descents away from crowded slopes. Once we understand what our playing field is, we can then choose something that

suits our needs, taking into account weight and flex.

Liners and thermoforming

Thinking about how many components create the ski boot, will make your head turns. Shell, cuff, sole, liner are just macro sections. What should we pay attention to when buying a pair of boots? The liner is generally produced by partner companies that use increasingly sought-after technologies. The closing system of the liner is certainly important to shape it around our foot, as is the possibility of customization through thermoforming. Before thermoforming the boot, however, we recommend using it for a few outings in order to “warm it” thanks to the foot, and only then practice the thermoforming. Moreover, after a few years, it must be redone.

Tech inserts and mobility

Pin insert for ski mountaineering has represented a revolution for over thirty years. It will therefore be difficult for you to find yourself buying ski mountaineering boots that do not have them. One thing to keep in mind for the performance of the boot when climbing is the cuff motion degree. As with the flex, it is a question of compromise: how much are you willing to struggle uphill for a full speed descent?

Dalbello Cabrio LV Free 130 Lite THE PILL TESTED 2024

A winning mix of lightweight materials, innovative design and functionality LV Free 130 Lite Cabrio is a boot designed for free tourers, i.e. skiers ready to tackle long mountain climbs in order to gain the best lines. The higher you go, the more the weight is felt, and for this reason the ideal is a lightweight alternative to the LV Free 130 3Dwrap Cabrio model. There he is! Thanks to the Grilamid instead of PU shell, this boot offers a good combination of lightness and rigidity, essential for efficient power transfer during the descent, where we found it stable and robust. The three-part structure is a distinctive feature of

this boot. This design offers uniform flexibility, ensuring harmonious cushioning and stable, lateral heel support, particularly important when skiing off piste and in variable terrain. The shape of the boot’s tongue has been adapted to improve interaction with the shell while softer plastic has been added in key places for greater flexibility. This makes it easier to switch between ascending and descending modes without having to completely remove the tab, making the experience more efficient and quicker. At the forefoot level, the width is 99mm to ensure ample space for medium-width feet.

Designed for freeriding, it focuses on downhill performance while maintaining good properties for occasional touring runs The Mindbender 130 BOA is an exceptional boot that will appeal to demanding freeriders who like to push downhill. Thanks to the BOA Fit system and the MultiFit Last, it wraps the foot extremely precisely. As soon as we put it on, it felt like we were wearing slippers because of how comfortable they are, but despite this, they give a nice snug sensation at the metatarsal and instep level, leaving perfect mobility to the toes. The BOA Fit system is known for its easy micro-adjustment, thanks to which

even skiers with slimmer feet can enjoy maximum safety and precision of fit. Furthermore, thanks to the thermoformable Powerlite Shell, the inner liner can be customized to better adapt to each foot and we are not joking when we say that this step can really make the difference! In the case of tours lasting several days, where it may happen that you have to put your boots on and off several times, thanks to the FastFit Instep the fit is easier and quicker.

For backcountry lovers with an excellent technical level who want to have fun downhill Lightweight yet powerful, the Lange XT3 Tour Light MV 130 boots are designed for exploration. These touring boots combine a lightweight shell with proven Lange downhill performance, offering an unmatched performance-to-weight ratio. The touring liner and lightweight buckles, combined with the Grilamid shell, reduce the overall weight of the boots, making them extremely efficient during ascents. The Active Power V-Lock system on the cuff guarantees a wide 53 degrees of excursion during walking, allowing fluid movements. Despite this, they seemed to perform

less well in the traverses. With a flex of 130, we would recommend it to expert skiers looking for downhill performance or in any case with a good technical level. Its hardness in fact gives safety and power, ideal for those who want to open the throttle in all circumstances. Tested on hard and transformed snow, it absorbs vibrations well and transmits excellent sensations to the plant. The latter is 99mm, halfway between a narrow and wide sole, and combines perfectly with the thermoformable touring liner, offering optimal comfort for skiing and exploring new territories for the whole day.

Powder Day? Make yourself an omelette and put on Cochise 130 DYN GW, you’ll have a day of pure adrenaline all to yourself! The point of reference for all mountain lovers for over a decade. In fact, its 130 flex conveys all the safety required by those who cross virgin slopes and want to trace them at high speed, without too many worries. We had the opportunity to test it on a day with poor visibility, where trusting the materials was the only solution in a sea of fog and we must confess that we were not disappointed, on the contrary. Thanks to the asymmetrical design of the shell, delimited by different thickness areas, Cochise 130 offered an excellent sensitivity when entering the curve, guaranteeing notable support in the cuff part and giving fluidity in the transition period, between the end and beginning of the new curve. The weight of the boot will certainly have

an impact on the ascent, which, despite an incredible excursion of 50 degrees, is a little “awkward”, but certainly does not disappoint on the descent, where it leaves free choice to those who want to dare. C.A.S. technology has revolutionized the world of ski boots, paying particular attention to fit and customization. The shoes have been designed with an anatomical shape that ensures optimal comfort and extraordinary heel hold. The internal part of the liner has been shaped to fit the foot perfectly. The material used is composed of dual density microcells, which guarantees durability and ease of customization. With a design that facilitates entry of the foot, soles with rubber grip and the famous Powerstrap, Cochise 130 represents one of the best freeriding boots currently available on the market.

Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The favorite boot of some of the most renowned ski mountaineers in the world. As many serious touring ski enthusiasts will know, navigating the backcountry sometimes requires the need to make compromises. However, these compromises should never apply to equipment, including ski boots. For too long, backcountry skiers have faced the difficult choice between lightweight boots ideal for climbing and performance boots suited to descending. Today, finally, this dilemma has been resolved with Zero G Tour Pro. This authentic masterpiece of lightness among touring boots weighs only 1320 grams and offers a movement angle of 55 degrees. Featuring a partial overlap shell and four sturdy locking

buckles, Zero G Tour Pro is capable of providing a flexible and powerful 130 stiffness index. Its design makes it exceptionally light and it offers enviable efficiency when you are on steep climbs. This is possible thanks to the co-injected carbon fiber cuff and Grilamid shell, which provide the same power and precision as a traditional downhill boot, where the brand’s know-how in the alpine and freeriding world shines through. Brilliant and dynamic in tight corners, solid and compact in the wide ones. It supports the weight and decision of those who want to “gas up” the most pure or challenging descents. Suitable for pros or expert ski mountaineers, we do not feel like recommending it to beginners due to the rigidity of the shell and its essential nature.

Mountaineering Even for the mountaineer or hiker who climbs at high altitude, choosing the ideal shoe is never so simple. The most technical mountain footwear is designed to offer 360° support and protection, playing a fundamental role in terms of safety and performance. Soles characterized by stiffer and more performing compounds, reinforced uppers to resist rubbing against rocks, insulating materials that allow prolonged use on ice and snow.

What does influence the choice of a mountaineering boot?

The choice is deeply linked to the terrain, to the environmental conditions and to the context in which it will be used. A suitable footwear must not only help the feeling of comfort, but above all contribute to increase our safety. Lightweight, thermal insulation, impermeability and a good grip are essential features, without forgetting about support and protection of the ankle. To be as clear and simple as possible, we can make a distinction according to the different mountaineering activities.

Intermediate mountaineering

The ideal shoe for this type of activity is very similar the classic imagery of the boot that we all remember, updated with the new technologies available. Structured and rigid at the right point, it offers support to the foot and protection to move safely on stony ground, passages on rock and crossing of snowfields, without sacri-

190

ficing the necessary comfort to tackle multi-day treks. From great glacier crossings to 4000 meters Alpine ridges, they are ideal for those who are starting to climb in altitude and want to approach the world of mountaineering with a multi-purpose footwear for tackling mixed terrains. They are often compatible with semi-automatic crampons.

High altitude mountaineering

It requires particularly technical, robust and reliable models, specifically designed to tackle high mountains and Himalayan expeditions. Their peculiarity is to guarantee excellent thermal insulation and a constant internal temperature. Often they are equipped with a removable inner shoe and gaiters with heat-sealed zippers as an additional barrier against water and snow. They also offer compatibility with automatic crampons. A concentrate of high performance technologies and materials, dedicated to an elite of experts.

Icefalls and mixed climbing

Climbing on ice and on mixed routes is certainly a delicate and highly technical discipline: progression requires the use of different equipment and dedicated crampons. The shoe must be precise, effectively block the heel and offer excellent protection from the cold. It must also be equipped with a specific midsole that makes it particularly stiff.

Approaching and via ferrata

These shoes were created to meet

the needs of those who dedicate themselves to rock climbing and via ferratas: light and agile when walking and climbing, often low on the ankle, generally equipped with a fit that enhances the sensitivity on the smallest supports, a lacing extended to the tip and a climbing zone on the sole to ensure adherence to rock. To all this we must add the comfort factor, which is fundamental when approaching and coming back from a route. Conceived for technical and expert users, they are increasingly appreciated by a wider audience for less exasperated uses.

In conclusion

Once you have decided the use you want to make out of it (and in which season) you can move on to the evaluation of the different technical features. Each model has its own fit, and even if ideal for your needs, it may not be suitable for your foot. To avoid blisters and improve comfort, it is essential to choose socks with differentiated structure, thick and protective in the toe and heel areas, thinner on the calf, elasticized on the plantar band to adhere perfectly and avoid annoying slips. Walk and evaluate the feelings of the foot, which must be sufficiently comfortable in the toe without feeling constrained. Try changing the lacing adjustment a few times. Evaluate the rigidity, or the flexibility of the sole, which depending on the type of use must allow or not the foot to flex inside the shoe. Don’t be afraid to ask for explanations or advices in the store and from those who work on the mountains: they will help you find the right boot, ensuring safety and fun at high altitude.

The band that surrounds the boot and the toe cap are made of Diamond Technology, an exclusive polyurethane material that offers a level of abrasion resistance never seen before. A rubber addition on the innermost surface guarantees greater protection against wear due to the use of crampons. A Gore-Tex Duratherm lining has been inserted internally, one of the most thermally insulating, perfect for protecting your feet even in the coldest temperatures.

The tongue features an overlap closure, with a single gusset that completely wraps the foot. Added to this are an intermediate lace closure, a lace puller which offers the possibility of keeping the anatomy of the fit constant and a Velcro and microfibre strap in the upper part. All enclosed inside the waterproof gaiter with easy zip closure. Under the heel we find a crampon insert fixed directly into the midsole for a safer and more stable grip. The sole block is characterized by a polyurethane mix capable of reacting to changes in temperature. The Vibram Teton sole is positioned on an accentuated arch which facilitates braking downhill and “hooking” on rocks.

Hiking & Trekking When you decide to buy a pair of hiking shoes, you will find on the market a great amount of possibilities. It may seem trivial, but the first step is to ask yourself what your needs as a hiker are. Making the right choice first of all implies a focus on the type of activity you are going to practice.

What kind of hiker am I?

What kind of terrain will I walk on? How long and at what pace? How much will my backpack weigh? To choose the ideal shoe, it is essential to understand the use we want to make out of it. How often do I go hiking? How much experience do I have in this field? Your technical level will be essential to help you choose the right shoes.

High or low cut shoes?

Low cut shoes, generally more comfortable, light and flexible, allow greater freedom of movement of the ankle, favoring the natural movement of the foot. They are suitable for daily activities in the valley and for mid-mountain, simple trails, stable and uniform terrains. They also represent the choice of

200

experienced and capable hikers who want to move more dynamically and quickly on technical terrain. And more and more often they become faithful companions of the modern traveler. High cut shoes, on the other hand, protect the ankle, offering support and stability when it comes to tackling hiking trails characterized by a wide variety of technical, irregular and rocky sections. Based on their structure and rigidity, they can be more or less suitable for backpacking or multi-day excursions in a purely mountain environment. They are generally recommended as the only choice for those who are beginners and do not want to risk ankles injures or excessive fatigue on the legs. Those who consider this type of boot exaggeratedly heavy and bulky can opt for the many mid versions on the market, whose height goes up to the ankle, finding an excellent compromise for excursions with medium or light loads on unpaved and uneven terrain.

And in winter?

Many manufacturers of hiking shoes and boots have chosen to equip their models with waterproof and breathable solutions. One above all is the Gore-Tex membrane positioned between the upper fabric and the

inner lining that offers reliable protection to keep feet comfortable and dry, increasing warmth in harsh weather conditions and protecting the foot from moisture. Not necessarily you need to go for a waterproof membrane, but it’s a good advice. And if in case of dry weather or high temperatures a Gore-Tex shoe can be excessively hot, a leather model is a good alternative. Although heavier, leather offers protection and breathability at the same time, making it comfortable and cool.

How to find the right fit?

When you try new shoes, do it with the right calm. The best time of the day is in the afternoon, when feet tend to swell. Hiking shoes should fit comfortably, without pressure points and chafing. They must wrap the foot without forcing it, ensuring a secure grip on the ground. Check the heel to make sure the back remains firmly in place. Between the tip of the shoe and the toes there should be a space corresponding to one finger of the hand. This aspect is very important downhill, in order to avoid collisions with the tip. Just in case, always try a half size more. In case of uncertainty or indecision, opt for the larger one.

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The excellence of CMP technical trekking footwear Flagship model of the new CMP trekking offer, the low cut which stands out for its great attention to comfort, integrating the best construction technologies adopted by the Vicenza brand. The upper uses fine Nubuck leather which gives an excellent impression of quality and robustness. For support and protection, a light rubber covering that wraps around the entire toe laterally, giving greater stability when walking. The support system that we had already seen in the Rigel model is integrated in the ankle area. By connecting the instep with the sole and heel, it ensures precise fit and support. This is where a traditional lace system with a deep closure, extended to the toe, is inserted for a more precise adjustment as well as greater precision on technical terrain. The upper part is completed by the Cli-

ma Protect waterproof membrane. Under the foot it is impossible not to notice an “important” and generous sole-midsole section. It shouldn’t scare you because the softness of the step is guaranteed by a shock-absorbing EVA midsole of medium stiffness. On the rubber sole there is the compound from Vibram’s XS TREK family, a highly versatile all round whose main characteristic is flexibility. The design chosen instead is the iconic Carrarmato with multidirectional lugs which revolutionized the footwear sector more than 80 years ago. Note the presence of the Traction Lugs which further increase traction and grip even on wet surfaces. Huranus is a robust and resistant trekking shoe, ideal for tackling even the most arduous mountain trails. The low cut facilitates fit and comfort, the slightly curved profile of the toe and heel follows your stride, revealing an agile and dynamic shoe.

Hanwag Makra Trek GTX

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Protection and support, without sacrificing comfort and lightweight. A 100% Made in Europe boot Boot with a sporty design with a particularly bold look, especially in the steel/orange (men) and icefall/sulphur (women) versions. Designed for alpine excursions on technical terrains where support and stability are required. Made on Hanwag’s standard “Trek” fit, it immediately surprises with its feeling of comfort: the foot is wrapped without particular constraints, allowing the toes the right amount of space. The midfoot is firmly closed to guarantee perfect support even on difficult terrain. Everything is accentuated by the 2 Zone Lock lacing system, a mechanical lock positioned on the instep which improves fit and grip. Unlike traditional clamp buckles, it stays securely in place without slipping. A quick and simple trick to set, even with just

one hand, different lacing tensions. By loosening it when going uphill we can prevent the upper from hitting the shin. When going downhill, by lacing both areas securely, the foot does not slip forward. The sensation felt is that of having a single foot/shoe unit combined with excellent power transmission. Part of the credit also goes to the rigidity of the Perwanger suede upper. These features add up to a completely waterproof and breathable membrane. A TPU frame, which runs from the heel to the midfoot, gives the necessary torsional stability, further strengthened by the low stack height. The central part hosts a softer PU that provides greater cushioning. Finally, at the base, the aggressive Vibram compound tread with 3D PrismBase technology, a newly developed structure that allows for a 30% weight reduction. Extraordinarily deep lugs facilitate traction on steep slopes and soft, muddy terrains.

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The beloved Anacapa model returns with a renewed attention to materials If Anacapa represented the brand’s most vivid expression in the use of sustainable materials, the second version has been further reworked through this concept, with a substantial increase in recycled elements. The upper integrates 100% recycled polyester mesh lining, collar and cuff with Nubuck panels certified by the Leather Working Group. Even if the internal spaces are slightly narrower than the previous generation, it can be defined as a medium-large boot capable of adapting to a wide range of shapes. Under the molded PU insole, also obtained from soybean oil, there is the compression-molded EVA midsole.

Anacapa 2 is a neutral shoe equipped with a symmetrical cushioned bed, very soft in compression but surprisingly stable in torsional rigidity. Near the toe it integrates MetaRocker technology which supports the foot in contact with the ground, increasing stability. The result is protective and balanced cushioning, perfect when the terrain gets harder, capable of providing extremely soft landings and a reactive push when you want to increase speed. Finally, on the sole there is Vibram rubber with Megagrip technology and a 5mm lug designed to give traction on mixed terrain. Anapaca works well for tackling moderately demanding routes, with little load. It is able to provide a smooth walk for long days on the trails, in all seasons.

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Maximum comfort and flexibility for women’s feet From the Epic Women line, a shoe that pays particular attention to women’s needs. The shaped collar, the volume of the forefoot, the accentuated arch of the foot, the large area reserved for the Achilles tendon and excellent wrapping of the ankle are the specific features dedicated and designed for women. From the very first use they prove to be extremely comfortable and light. With a high but not excessive cut, they give the feeling of having a perfect mix between a hiking shoe and a trail running shoe underfoot: versatility, softness, flexibility, but with the right support and the right protection. The wide forefoot frees the front part from constraints, the ankle, held firmly by the upright, and the heel, well locked in the rear

part, guarantee firmness and precision. Circe promises a sustainable solution without sacrificing high quality aesthetics, thanks to the skin-free upper in latest generation microfiber worked with a “suede” effect. It has strong water repellency which, combined with an Extended Comfort lining, provides superior waterproof protection. The Vibram sole, oversized in the heel for greater stability, works in synergy with the EVA midsole, a deep wedge designed to better absorb impacts. Another component not to be underestimated is the PE insole which increases the absorbency of impacts by featuring reinforced padding over the entire surface. Circe convinces thanks to its versatility. Ideal for hikers who climb large differences in altitude even with significant loads, but also for fast paced hikes on medium difficulty terrains.

Trail Running Let’s debunk the myth: there is no such thing as the perfect trail running shoe. Or rather, there will be a perfect shoe for a certain runner and for a certain trail. Here we will take elementary concepts for granted, dividing the features that you will have to take into account based on a simple classification: the distance to be covered.

The first aspect to consider? Yourself

First of all we must evaluate our features: weight, experience gained and running technique. The general rules? The more you weight, the more cushioning you will need. Less weight and the more you can focus on lightweight and flexibility. Do you have an efficient pace or not? If the answer is yes, you will have to look for a responsive shoe with limited drop. If not, you will need a more structured shoe that stabilizes the stride.

Short distances shoes

In this category we can include training sessions, short races, skyraces and vertical races, where lightweight is everything. We don’t need a highly protective and cushioning shoe, as much as a precise fit, a reactive response, a medium-low midsole. The aim is to reduce energy expenditure and promote the feeling with the ground. A fast run prefers a minor drop.

Medium distances shoes

We refer to distances that tend to

218

range from 30 to 50km. In this case, the choice of the shoe should be oriented towards flexibility, with a fairly light and reactive style, to face the easiest sections at a good pace, but sufficiently protective for the descent phases or the more technical sections. The recommended drop is a medium one, around 6mm, with a sufficiently cushioned midsole to withstand more hours of running and a comfortable, enveloping and secure fit.

ty of terrains and meteorological variability. In the second case, there are shoes for a very specific use. Where soft and humid terrain prevails, it will be better to opt for a sole with spaced and pronounced lugs to better face the ground and give greater traction. On a compact and rocky ground, instead, you will have to look for a harder and drier compound and a sole with lower and closer lugs, often with a square or hexagonal shape to ensure multidirectional traction.

Long distances shoes

Waterproofness: yay or nay?

For athletes aiming to run ultra distances, comfort and cushioning are of primary importance. Given the lower running speed, less protective and stable features are normally found, but still sufficient to support the foot covering the variety of terrain that might be encountered. You need to make sure that the shoe has enough stretch to allow for natural expansion and contraction of the foot.

What terrain will you run on?

Among the external aspects that affect the choice of shoe there is the type of terrain you will face. The best choice for any condition does not exist. Talking about the sole, we can find shoes that defend themselves well on all terrains but without distinguishing themselves on any in particular one, or shoes that focus on a certain segment. The first case sees many ultra trail shoes as protagonists, designed to manage a multiplici-

As always, we need to understand in what conditions we will use the shoes. Waterproofness has the obvious advantage of keeping the foot dry on wet trails and in the rain, while making it less breathable. Traditionally, the use of waterproof membranes is not so welcomed by the running community as it adds weight and stiffens the shoe. To date, however, innovative technologies such as Gore-Tex Invisible Fit can solve these problems. Finally, a waterproof shoe is warmer than a traditionally built model, which is an advantage in cold or humid climates, but makes it less suitable for a hot and sunny weather.

One final advice

Trust your instincts. When you try on a shoe, listen carefully to the sensations you feel: is there a part that creates discomfort in the foot or a particularly stiff seam? Run for a few kilometers and the feeling will only improve.

Altra Mont Blanc Altra’s shoe dedicated to long distances and mountains Since its launch, Mont Blanc has become the flagship model of the Denver company. Conceived for very long distances even on the most alpine and inaccessible terrains, Mont Blanc maintains the traditional drop 0, which in this case however does not become synonymous with minimalism, but is instead well compensated by the very generous structure of the midsole, making it a shoe suitable for every type of runner. The upper features a rather elastic and light engineered mesh, very comfortable to fit but a little less structured and protective than other Altra models. We liked the Ego Max midsole, a foam capable of providing excellent energy return when running on a slight slope and providing adequate cushioning when going downhill and at low speeds. The sole is made with a Vibram Megagrip Litebase compound,

THE PILL TESTED 2024

designed with an open striped shape that follows the typical Altra toe design and with a very small and homogeneous tessellation across the entire sole. The grip is good on forestry and single track and even on wet surfaces, but it tends to have some limitations on more technical terrains due to the limited surface area of the sole. Compared to the previous version we notice an improvement in the structure of the heel, and through the particular lacing of the laces an excellent grip on the heel is obtained. It is suitable for any distance, both for runners able to launch it taking advantage of its lightness and reactivity, and for runners looking for a shoe with larger volumes, with a midsole full of material that guarantees protection after many kilometers. We Like Reactivity and comfort of the midsole.

Diadora Equipe Sestriere-XT

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Diadora enters the trail running world with Equipe Sestriere-XT! We tried them for the first time this spring on Lake Garda and this autumn we managed to run a few more kilometers on them. Diadora arrived in the trail running segment in 2023 with a shoe inspired by sneakers, a design that translates into a protective model with a soft fit. Equipe Sestriere-XT is made with an Air Mesh upper reinforced by a TPU application that wraps the lower part of the upper along the entire perimeter of the shoe, giving it a structured and supportive fit. The traditional lacing system has been combined with a once again soft and padded tongue which, together with the heel seat, contributes to this feeling of softness to the shoe. The midsole is made of a foam called DD Anima, taken from

Diadora’s road models, strengthened to better support the foot on natural surfaces. The sole is made of five pieces of Duratech 5000 rubber on the rear and the external area, which is most in contact with the ground during rolling, while in the Soft Rubber compound in the central part of the forefoot and near the instep. Since it is not a full sole, the designers managed to further reduce the weight of the shoe, which in general is still well built. We recommend it to runners who are looking for a shoe to approach running in nature, or who run in hilly areas, outside the city, and who are looking for protection and comfort. In sample size it weighs 340 grams.

Hoka Stinson 7 Seventh version of Hoka’s ATR model Stinson was developed by Hoka to be a versatile trail running shoe suitable for any terrain, the shoe to take on holiday when you don’t know what terrain you may find and with which to do any type of training without problems. The first thing you notice, both in terms of fit and sight, are the volumes of Stinson: with a very high and cushioned sole, and a very wide lower shape, this model is a very soft and structured shoe. The midsole is made with a double EVA compound, as now in almost all Hoka trail models, coupled with a structure called H-Frame, designed to increase the feeling of stability of the shoe. The upper is almost identical to that of Mafate Speed 4, as is the fit. It is developed with the jacquard fabric progressively introduced by Hoka on

THE PILL TESTED 2024

all the trail models released in the last two seasons, and which we have come to know for its comfort and lightness. It is not a structured upper, but it is compensated by the shape of the midsole which accommodates the foot laterally, reducing instability and called Active Foot Frame. The sample model weighs 365 grams: a lot, but this is a training shoe for fairly heavy runners looking for protection and security, so it’s not that important on this shoe. The sole is not made of Vibram like in other Hoka trail running shoes, but it still has a good tessellation which makes it quite versatile. It is a shoe for heavy runners looking for comfort and protection.

La Sportiva Jackal GTX GTX version of the classic model dedicated to long distances Launched for the first time in 2019, Jackal was born as a shoe intended for long distances. Updated in the second version and re-proposed by the Ziano company in the Gore-Tex version, it is a shoe with a streamlined and dry shape, both in the external volumes and in the fit. The upper is made of mesh with TPU applications that protect the toes, midfoot and heel, increasing the shoe’s support and snug sensation. In the version with traditional lacing, the laces wrap the instep very well, giving the shoe an excellent feeling of stability, typical of La Sportiva. The tongue and collar are well padded and further increase overall comfort. The midsole is made of two pieces of EVA foam with the addition of Infinitoo Technology inserts, while the sole is

THE PILL TESTED 2024

in Frixion Red compound, known for being the most durable foam in the La Sportiva sole range, to the slight detriment of grip. In this version La Sportiva has equipped Jackal with a Gore-Tex membrane, making tit perfect for the winter season and for wetter terrains. It is suitable for runners with dry feet who are looking for a firm and secure fit even on technical and steep trails. We recommend it to athletes who like to climb high in the mountains in any season, even at slower paces, while it is less suitable for hilly and highly runnable terrains. It is a very stable and supportive shoe, suitable for runners with imprecise footholds, backward support or with accentuated pronation.

Amplux is a shoe with a streamlined, narrow and agile shape that allows it to move well on technical and mountain routes. We appreciated Lowa’s choice to develop a model that goes a little against the current trend in running footwear, with a reactive and fast shoe, whereas in recent years light, but also soft and more unstable foams have become popular. The Amplux midsole uses a triple density foam, with DynEva technology, well cushioned but not sagging or unstable, furthermore, the rear part is equipped with an external lining which increases the stability of the shoe and improves control.

Mizuno Wave Daichi 7 The all round model of the Japanese brand Wave Daichi 7 is a shoe that finds its best feature in its simplicity. Now in its seventh version, Wave Daichi 7 is a model suitable for medium distances between three and five hours of running, both on hilly and medium mountain trails. It can also be taken on longer and more demanding routes, although those are not its ideal terrain. In general it is a comfortable shoe with no sharp edges, with a regular fit, snug on the instep but not restrictive. The upper material is not elastic and it is able to protect the foot without the addition of counters and other external applications that would weigh down the structure. The tongue is padded and

We liked the sole, made of Michelin compound, and which works well on dry rocks, even on more technical terrains, while it tends to suffer on wet rocks. Our testers recommend it to a fairly wide audience, and to all those looking for a reliable shoe to tackle all spring races.

New Balance Fuelcell SuperComp Trail

THE PILL TESTED 2024

The first New Balance’s trail running shoe with a carbon plate designed for high speeds to push even on technical terrains The first thing you notice is the streamlined and slim line, with a fit that could be defined as narrow but which is not constricting or annoying: a racing shoe fit, precise, safe and firm on the foot. The tread shape is also quite narrow: the insole and outsole have similar widths and the midsole does not widen much on the lower part, a functional feature on uneven terrains in order to maintain control. The overall structure of the shoe contributes to a lightweight feel on the foot and the stack of 36.5mm at the heel and 26.5mm at the forefoot provides an overall drop of 10mm. The mesh upper with 3D structure is strengthened at the toe by a minimalist but protective internal reinforcement. External thermoplastic applications are

reduced to a minimum while the tongue distributes the lacing pressure well. The low-density Fuelcell compound midsole is much softer and more compressible than other models, especially on the upper part. The carbon plate, a true innovation, is thick and wide but better adaptable to the terrain than traditional thin trail running plates. The plate and midsole are integrated with an Energy Arc structure with an arched geometry aimed at guaranteeing greater energy return during the rolling phase. The Vibram Megagrip Litebase sole is made of three pieces with a multidirectional tessellation and with a reasonable grip on all terrains. We Like Flexibility and versatility of the carbon plate which allows you to push even on the most technical terrains.

Nike Ultrafly Trail The union between the super road running shoe and the lightweight trail running shoe Modeled according to the experience of Tyler Green, the ultrarunner from Oregon, it is in fact designed for the climate of the Pacific Northwest: coniferous forests, humidity, lots of rain and wide, soft paths. There are two main innovations in the Ultrafly Trail: the complete carbon plate, an absolute novelty from Nike for a trail running shoe, and the Vibram Megagrip compound sole which, thanks to the low and homogeneous tread, makes it a safe and firm shoe. Among the most fun aspects there is certainly the midsole, which, being made of ZoomX foam, gives an elastic feeling, but at the same time stable and

reactive. The ZoomX is protected from debris by an external fabric that limits wear: functional, but once stained it won’t get clean anymore. Let’s move onto the upper, which is in Vaporweave, a ripstop material that is resistant and lightweight. The fit is comfortable and the external fabric, not being elastic, gives a feeling of protection. As we were saying, when wearing them the sensation is of a springy and reactive run. We found it more fun on dirt roads, forest trails, single track on slight slopes, hills and alternate routes on asphalt. In short, it is a running shoe designed for running, “power hiking” is not its style.

SCARPA Ribelle Run Kalibra HT New lacing system for a historically successful model When it comes to mountains and technical terrains, SCARPA has always been one of the most reliable and cutting-edge brands. The Asolo team, led by Marco De Gasperi, this year led to the update of the classic Ribelle Run model, dedicated to the most demanding alpine terrains and which, in this new version, will join the previous model and will be called Ribelle Run Kalibra HT. The main difference of this shoe compared to the traditional version consists in the BOA lacing system, which according to the developers’ intentions should allow for an even more enveloping and precise fit. Lacing has always been a central point in Ribelle Run, so much so that in the traditional version SCARPA provided both a traditional lace and a quick lacing system with slider and Kevlar in the box, leaving the athlete the possibility of

THE PILL TESTED 2024

choosing which to use. In this version, the developers have instead tried to integrate an even more precise lacing into an already very technical model. This has led to a complete rethinking of the upper, which now uses a “wrap” geometry, which wraps the foot around the instep, protecting it from the BOA, but leaving that comfortable space on the forefoot that has always characterized the Ribelle Run fit, and SCARPA in general: it is not a loose fit, but it’s comfortable and stable. Midsole unchanged and always very soft and suitable for any type of support, just as the Presa sole has remained unchanged, with excellent grip and good durability extended to the entire tread surface.

The North Face Summit Vectiv Pro The new ultradistance shoe by The North Face In 2023 The North Face has completely revised its shoe offering by introducing two products dedicated to the racing segment. This spring we reviewed Vectiv Sky, a model dedicated to short distances and vertical race, while this autumn we tested Vectiv Pro, designed for long distances. Vectiv Pro is a rather tall and protective model with 31mm on the heel, a wide fit on the forefoot and a very wide tread profile, nevertheless, its weight remains well under 300 grams, mainly thanks to a very light midsole foam. The upper is developed with a loosely woven plastic mesh, it is very light and naturally very breathable, precisely because of its structure. However, it protects the fingers thanks to TPU reinforcements placed on this area. The tongue wraps around the foot in the medial part, ma-

king the fit snug around the neck but leaving plenty of space on the toe box. The midsole is made of Vectiv 2.0 foam, which manages to combine cushioning and reactivity very well. The running sensation is not easily comparable to other models: it has a springy effect reminiscent of road running shoes, thanks to a soft foam combined with a carbon plate that is not felt when running, but which gives structure and general stability to the midsole. The tread uses the typical Surface CTRL compound with The North Face’s typical butterfly-shaped block. The running sensation is very pleasant and does not make it an exclusive shoe, despite the carbon plate: we recommend it to a wide and heterogeneous audience. We Like Its bouncing effect.

Topo Athletic MTN Racer 3 The third version of the Topo model dedicated to mountain ultra races MTN Racer has been, since its first version, the Topo Athletic shoe dedicated to mountains and long distances, which combined protection, comfort and a low weight of 280 grams in an excellent balance. The second version had been completely rethought, especially in the upper part, with a much more breathable but generally thicker mesh that stiffened the shoe. It now arrives at its third version, with an upper very similar to the second version, but with a slightly revised midsole compartment. The internal volumes remain the traditional Topo’s, therefore with a snug fit on the neck but very generous on the toe box. It is a breathable but very protective upper thanks to TPU applications distributed, so to speak, with conscience: there are some where needed, but they do not weigh the shoe down by a gram more than necessary.

The big difference between the second and third versions lies in the use of midsole foams: if before there was a three-density EVA, now there are two midsoles arranged one above the other, which are softer and in complex more generous than before. Vibram Megagrip sole with classic Topo tessellation. It is a comfortable shoe, suitable for long mountain routes, and with improved runability compared to the second version. Although the reduced drop and the structure of the shoe encourage forefoot support, we recommend it to a wide audience of runners looking for reliability on all terrains. We Like Wide fit, comfort, lightweight.

Ulysses

www.ulyssesrunning.com IG @ ulysses_running

Ulysses Maikoh New brand, new shoes, new materials Ulysses Running Co. was founded in 2020 in Austin, Texas, by three Italian entrepreneurs with the aim of developing running footwear and apparel. They launched the brand with three models: Waya for the road segment, Honi for the urban and indoor sports segment, and Maikoh, for trail running. The three shoes are interesting because they use the same midsole and the same geometry of the shoe, however available in different materials depending on the use: a soft and breathable jaquard for Waya, a more elastic and lightweight one in 4D Knitting polyester for Honi, and finally a polyurethane reinforced nylon ripstop fabric for Maikoh. The G-Foam midsole is made of Supercritical EVA foam, a different foam than traditional EVA, with a great cushioning and rebound capacity, also increased by the rather generous volumes. It uses a patented technology cal-

led Nars, which consists of a foam that progressively adapts to the shape of the foot to increase support for overpronating athletes. The Maikoh sole is made with the same material for all three models, called Claw Grip, in the trail model equipped with a knobby mold designed for off road terrains. An interesting choice is to provide this sole with threaded holes to be able to attach ice screws for the winter season. It is a gamble, perhaps, but one that is based on a product that boasts high quality starting materials. It is a rather versatile shoe, with a good sole and a comfortable structure even on runnable terrains. We Like Materials and running feeling. Use Trail Running

Outerwear Key word: versatility e functionality

History teaches us that the time when you felt cold in the mountains is over. By now, you know, there is no longer good or bad weather but only good or bad equipment. However, some old school tips still apply and are very useful when you need to pack and evaluate a purchase. Choosing to have different layers with you can really make the difference in almost any outdoor activity: you will be ready for the sudden changes in conditions that are inevitable in the mountains, responding with the most appropriate garment for the context. Dressing in layers is a winning strategy.

Must Haves

New trends to keep an eye on: versatile products with a multifaceted DNA, which combine an urban style with a more sporty one. Some companies offer the possibility to customize the garments according to your needs and, thanks to repair services, allow you to adjust technical products in order to extend their life cycle. In the wardrobe it is also good to have a selection of technical garments designed specifically for our outdoor activities that will allow us to raise the level of our performance in complete safety.

Sustainability

A green approach begins during the brand selection phase: it is possible to select among the many sustai-

250

nable brands, which follow strict CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) standards, verifiable thanks to the concrete initiatives carried out for the planet and for society, international indices and awards received by independent and authoritative bodies. It is important to check the labels of the clothes, from which we can have a lot of valuable information, for example to know if the product is PFC Free. While it is true that natural materials are biodegradable (under certain conditions), on the other hand, natural resources are wasted and greenhouse gases are produced to realized them. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, are partly recyclable but are also at the origin of micro plastics pollution. We must not be dogmatic in our choices, otherwise we risk frustrating every effort. However, being informed is the minimum for those who think that Mother Nature should be respected. Fortunately, many outdoor brands are committed to ensuring the lowest possible environmental impact. The more you invest in sustainable clothing, the more you will help preserve our winters, which are already in serious danger.

Materials

The materials that make up technical clothing can really make a difference, especially in terms of breathability and waterproofing: Gore-Tex and Polartec are brands of excellence that guarantee epic days and will keep you warm, protecting you from the elements. In addition to the more or less valuable material, there are several considerations not to be overlooked

when choosing the outfit, which go beyond appearance but which can make you live more peaceful days.

Not only performance

The clothing you choose will be your most important adventure companion, it is good not to forget that. In addition to the design and the aesthetic aspect, it is important to analyze the technical functionality, which will be the element that will allow you to push yourself to your limits, but also to protect and keep you safe. Wearing brightly colored clothes in the mountains, for example, often means being visible in poor visibility conditions and maybe having an extra chance of being saved. A color block look, with bright and vibrant colors, can be a wise decision. Preferring comfort and an outfit that allows you ample freedom of movement is another valid advice: one size more is better than one less.

Quality, quality, quality

Sometimes it is worth paying a little more, especially when you reward quality. Choosing clothing that lasts over time avoids having to replace it every season, fuelling the disposable consumerist system. Better to have few things, but good ones. Especially in the mountains, where your clothing must seriously protect you. Quality means being able to rely on a whole series of features that help raise the price but which could really be decisive in emergency situations: don’t always aim for savings.

Moving on to the technical data and starting from the composition, Reactive Peak is built with 55% wool from Argentina, 33% polyamide and finally 12% elastane. Starting from the top, the sock has a soft cuff, a stockinette knit with graphics, a shock-absorbing sponge on the heel and toe, a stabilizing elastic band on the instep and a shock-absorbing mesh under the forefoot, where the foot tends to overheat more and need extra breathability. These socks, in particular, have graphics dedicated to the mountains, perfect to satisfy the tastes of outdoor enthusiasts. The socks are very durable and being pre-washed, they do not shrink after washing. The fit therefore corresponds to the foot size and does not change over time.

In addition to being super light, this jacket compresses in such a way that it takes up a tiny space in the backpack, and we know how important it is to be able to best rationalize the weights to carry during activities. Every extra gram has a significant impact on the quality of the ascent with the skins. Electra weighs little and, once compacted, leaves enough space for a sandwich, a water bottle, etc. The Polartec Active padding and the Ripstop outer coating mean that, once on top, you have no fear of cold or wind and then, since Crazy has thought of everything, the hood is ergonomic and with an elastic edge to fit perfectly to the hat or the helmet. The practical zip closure, the side pockets and the waterrepellent microfibre cuffs complete the picture but, regardless of this, comfort is maximum whether you use it uphill with skins or downhill, split included! Last but not least: we appreciate the variety of colors and styles in which the jacket is available: from seventies-style three-color combinations to more pop prints (zebra pattern included). We Like Lightweight and compact, it fits into any backpack to accompany you on every descents. Use Ski Touring, Mountaineering Materials Pertex Quantum Filling Polartec Active € 280,00

Devold Expedition Arctic Pro Hoodie Man THE PILL TESTED 2024

Super comfortable and extremely breathable thermal shirt Imagine the situation in which you have been coldest in your life: probably what you wanted to wear at the time, but which you still didn’t know how to name, was the Expedition Arctic Pro Hoodie by Devold. To design it, the brand asked for help from polar explorer Børge Ousland, who helped design this model and other products in the Expedition series. The kangaroo pocket on the front part is the result of his wishes and was requested specifically to warm his hands in extreme conditions. The placement is strategic, i.e. right above the waist, so as not to interfere with other equipment. The hood perfectly follows the shape of the head and it is designed to avoid any space from which cold air could infiltrate. The breathability of the garment is ensured by the main material with which this product is made, namely wool, which is a hollow fibre, but also by the Aquaduct treatment. For intellectual honesty we must say that we did not test it in conditions as extreme as those to which Ousland is used, but we were grateful to have it during a very long tour and on a challenging day from a meteorological point of view. We Like The extreme comfort you feel when wearing it, cold air doesn’t even pass by by mistake but, at the same time, the breathability is excellent.

THE PILL TESTED 2024

Very soft, warm and breathable shell perfect even in heavy rain What should you ask from a shell that is already waterproof, water repellent and at the same time breathable? To have top thermoregulation. Here, Ferrino’s Yenisei jacket fully satisfies all four of these requirements, which are essential for enjoying the mountains in any situation. The light padding in StormShield fabric (2 layers of breathable and non-bulky stretch fabric) makes itself felt as soon as the temperature drops for a moment. We tested it on an early autumn day, we didn’t need it during the climb, but once we reached the summit it was a blessing: soft to the touch, not cumbersome during movements, but at the same time it protects from the cold and the wind and, in case of rain, it is waterproof up to 15.000mm. The side ventilation is then functional to regulate the temperature during the descent or uphill stretches where you push less and cool down a little, the coverage is maximum and is also given by the back length of the jacket which covers the back perfectly and with adjustable velcro cuffs. The same goes for the hood, adjustable and with visor. The monochrome look completes the picture, ideal for matching the garment and thus creating a totally functional layered outfit. We Like Reliability even in extreme situations and at low temperatures. The sober and elegant design makes it possible to wear it even on urban and lifestyle occasions.

A Gore-Tex Pro shell developed for extreme winter activities such as ice climbing or high altitude mountaineering Supercouloir GTX Pro is La Sportiva’s state-of-the-art shell for ice climbing and technical winter mountaineering. Built with a Gore-Tex Pro membrane, its SuperFabric technology protects the areas most subject to abrasion, thus extending its life. The design is thought, not only to protect from the weather, but also for a comfortable fit which is guaranteed by the articulated construction of the shoulder.

The collar is protective and structured and is connected to the hood via buttons. To ensure maximum breathability, the jacket is also equipped with ventilation openings under the armpits. We found the Supercouloir very protective, especially when climbing ice waterfalls where you spend a lot of time in contact with humidity (and very low temperatures). However, the waterproofness and protection do not detract from anything in terms of performance because this shell, as we have already said but we would like to reiterate, guarantees excellent freedom of movement thus allowing maximum climbing performance.

Backpacks Unlike some items of clothing where versatility is an important element, the more targeted the backpack is based on the activity we intend to perform, the better. For freeriding, for example, sturdiness and reliability will be features to be taken into greater consideration, while for ski touring the reduced weight is a fundamental factor. For both activities it is good to prefer a backpack prepared with a special compartment for storing ARTVA, shovel and probe. Being equipped with an airbag backpack, although it involves a higher cost, means increasing the possibility of been rescued if you are hit by an avalanche thanks to the expansion of the volume that allows you to float on the surface. For backcountry snowboarding, if we do not use the split, a zipper on the back will be useful in order to access to the contents of the backpack without having to remove and put the board on every time.

Tech features

During short fast & light trips, when you only carry the essentials, every gram makes a difference in performance, and it is therefore preferable that the weight of the backpack is kept to a minimum. Features and details could prove essential, particularly in extreme situations, such as low seams, sealed zippers and hidden details that increase durability and functionality. Pockets and compartments for crampons and

312

rope holders, and a removable hood, are other great examples, as well as a well-ventilated back, even during extreme performance. The waist strap and the one on the chest are excellent allies for not overloading the shoulders and guaranteeing support in fully loaded climbs and the necessary freedom of movement.

Freedom of movement and functionality

A back in thermoformed material often guarantees a better fit, adhering well to the back. The shoulder straps and the waist belt can become painful when they are not designed for the activity we intend to practice, as well as being valid allies if realized with a combination of pre-formed padding and ventilation channels. Functionality means practicality and saving precious time: it is good that a backpack is equipped with pockets, straps, buttonholes and straps useful for the various accessories, and which make it easier to access and transport mountaineering equipment, such as crampons, rope, shovel, probe, skis, ice ax. A backpack becomes a reliable companion when it is waterproof and can accompany you even during bad weather conditions, keeping its contents dry. A comfortable feeling is a factor that, especially after many hours of walking, is very appreciable.

When beauty means safety

In addition to the aesthetic aspect, it is important to analyze the technical functionality: your equipment in the mountains has the fundamental task of protecting you and keeping you safe. Choosing a well-fitting backpack will allow you to feel at ease even in the most demanding situations. A clean design means no “frills” or laces that would risk getting caught in the tightest passages and movements. The whistle integrated into the shoulder strap is another safety factor that should not be underestimated.

Sustainability and materials

A conscious choice, which respects the environment, starts with choosing a responsible brand. If it is true that the wallet is the strongest tool that the consumer has, inquiring before making a purchase is a first step towards a lifestyle that is more attentive to the planet. It is important to check the labels of the models, from which we can have a lot of valuable information: several outdoor companies are committed to guaranteeing a low environmental impact and each one of us can do his part to achieve a change in mentality. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more, especially when quality is rewarded.

Skule Top 26 is designed to accompany you on short outdoor adventures or days at the crag, proving comfortable and ergonomic even for walking. It features a large pocket on the top and two open, elastic side pockets, a comfortable mesh back, padded shoulder straps, an adjustable chest strap and bungee cords for attaching extra items on the front part.

Backpack designed for all-season high altitude mountaineering What is asked of a backpack for mountaineering can essentially be summed up in two words: functionality and compactness, and the renewed Alpinist Pro by Kohla has both thanks to the main compartment which is capable of containing 32 liters and which has inside another waterproof compartment with zip where you can store your keys and mobile phone, as well as pockets for probe and shovel and a quick side access that makes it easier to find the most immediately needed objects, such as the water bottle.

Mammut Aenergy ST 20-25 Lightweight backpack that allows you to move quickly and cover longer distances Even though we only had half a day available, we wanted to put the Aenergy ST 2025 to the test on a challenging ski mountaineering trip. When tested in the field, the backpack allowed us to move light and fast, without compromising comfort or useful functions. The carrying system is inspired by trail running tank tops, is well enveloping, and thanks also to an elasticated chest strap it allows ample freedom of movement: the load is kept well close to the body preventing it from bouncing, while the anatomical shoulder straps offer a comfortable sensation and come with large mesh pockets. The skis can be attached without having to remove the backpack, a feature that has proven to be very functional in various situations: there is in fact a quick diagonal ski holder and a lateral ski holder. The front compression strap can be removed and worn as a hip belt. Most pockets are always conveniently accessible, and the rear access to the main compartment allows you to have everything at hand.

Equipment The technical equipment that accompanies us in the mountains is our most important ally. ARTVA, satellite devices, helmets, Garmin. They are all tools created specifically to save our lives and therefore saving money is not a good idea. Better to focus on quality, clearly after an analysis of what the market offers and adequate valuations. The same goes for indispensable “accomplices” such as ice ax, crampons and harness: there are so many models, more or less lightweight, robust and with more or less details, and in order to choose in the right way you can only focus on the technical aspects and on the specific activity that we you are going to deal with. It is essential not only to consider the achievement of performance but above all our safety. When choosing the helmet it is advisable to evaluate its technical and comfort features, but also make sure to wear it properly, adjusting the back part and the chin strap well. Precisely because equipment is so crucial, it is also good to take care of it, keeping it clean, and making sure it is still valid and efficient at the time of use: otherwise it is better to replace it.

ARTVA, shovel and probe

ARTVA, shovel and probe are essential tools to have in the backpack for anyone who ventures off the track.

328

For the ARTVA it is preferable to choose the latest generation models that have all the essential functions to save buried people hit by an avalanche, with the marking of the victims in the event of accidents involving several people. It is necessary to consider the width of the search strip of the detector, and if it is equipped with all the essential features for the rescue, other elements not to be underestimated are the backlit screen and if it emits a modulated acoustic signal. There are different types of shovels, it is therefore advisable to choose according to our activity: carbon and super light ones for competitions, when the risk of avalanches is minimal, resistant, robust and versatile models, with good compactness, for all other adventures with skis or a snowboard. The probe must fit all into the backpack, to prevent it from freezing or breaking, better if it is compact, light, and with little space, combining strength and precision in research with a proven locking system.

Poles

Ski mountaineering, high altitude expeditions, hiking, trail running. Poles should not be overlooked, as they can really make a difference, relieving the feeling of fatigue and helping to maintain a correct posture. Lightness must be taken into account without neglecting sturdiness, otherwi-

se you could risk breaking them, the aluminum poles instead of carbon ones offer better reliability. They also need to have a good grip, be well balanced and of the correct length, as well as ensure a good grip on the ground. Features to be preferred are: a solid, telescopic and foldable pole (being able to insert it completely in the backpack is very useful) with quick closure, which allows instant adjustment. For high altitudes expeditions, it is better to bring an extra basket of different sizes with you.

Satellite devices

Satellite devices are our best allies in the mountains: they are essential for safety, search and recovery of individuals or groups. They allow you to be located and saved and are therefore indispensable tools to have with you during activities in areas without telephone coverage and data network. It is very useful to be able to count on a weather service and rely on a long-lasting battery, Bluetooth connectivity, the possibility of sharing routes and position even on social networks, and to send two-way messages and emails. It is better to choose a lightweight and space-saving tool. With a satellite device, your family, friends and colleagues will always be able to know if you are okay and, in the event of an emergency, send your GPS position to rescuers by simply pressing a button.

Cober Thunder Versatile freeriding pole and also suitable for other types of outdoor activities The emotions that a day spent freeriding completely immersed in nature and silence gives you are priceless, but they must be earned and every little piece of equipment is able to make the difference. Not focusing too much on choosing the pole would be a mistake because the comfort in climbing depends a lot on the relief and on how much we are able to minimize discomfort during any moment of the day. Cober’s Thunder freeski poles have been designed to maximize comfort at every moment of the tour: the foam grips allow maximum flexibility in the grip, which makes the poles also suitable for other types of activities such as trekking. A single pole that can cover multiple disciplines is a good compromise between performance and savings, because Thunder are still perfect on powder and, above all, they are super resistant. We mistreated them a bit to tell the truth and the resistance to impacts was excellent thanks to the material they are made of, 7075 aluminum which, as a plus, is super resistant over time. The technical picture is completed by the innovative CamLock lever: a bi-material construction in plastic and rubber which allows greater adherence to the tube and, consequently, both greater stability and greater fixing precision.
