The most alpine-oriented AT boot that Scott makes, the Scott Radium Alpine Touring Boots - 2014 Closeout checks in with a stiff 130 flex, rugged Pebax construction, and a thick power strap so you can lock things down and get to shreddin'. With "only" 45 degrees of cuff rotation, the Radium definitely doesn't have the buttery-smooth touring capabilities of more dedicated boots, but it can ski them right off the mountain, thanks to its PowerWrap construction, which forgoes a tongue in place of overlapping plastic, which fits your foot more precisely and gives you a more responsive fit and a progressive freeride flex for sending big cliffs and steep lines. It also has a slightly wider toe box, roomier forefoot, and narrower heel pocket, all in the name of downhill shredability.
