New Garmont Endorphin, Xena and Axon for Fall 2009

Garmont defined a new category with the development of the Adrenalin, the first freeride boot with the functions of a ski mountaineering boot. For 2009/2010 Garmont updates the Freeride line with new graphics and improved Rapid thermoformable liners. The Garmont 2009/2010 comprises of four styles, Endorphin, Xena, and men and women Axon, each designed for big-mountain backcountry skiers. The boot shells are powerful, high, and stiff to turn the fattest powder boards in the most-difficult conditions, yet lightweight, agile, and articulated for ski mountaineering. Each style includes a gender-specific Rapid Thermoformable liner, the most refined fully-thermoformable liners available. Four foam thicknesses and densities each serve a specific purpose. A new softer, thinner elastic thermoformable toe insert offers warmth and additional comfort. Extra reinforcement around the cuff aids in comfort when leveraging over fat skis and in high-speed turns. The tongue is reinforced with a plastic T-Bar® made of Pebax®. The new Stobel-stitch design allows the footbed and foot to sit flatter and more anchored in the liner, while it maximizes forefoot width for comfort. All four styles - Endorphin, Xena, and men and women Axon feature Garmont anatomically directed design shell. The shell is anatomically-shaped for warmth, skiing sensitivity and a secure fit. The tongue is higher and reinforced on the medial side to instalntly transmit pressure to the downhill ski. It lower on the lateral side for smooth ankle flexion to edge the uphill ski. The instep area is tapered laterally for a precise fit. The Endorphin and women Xena are popular with on-mountain professionals who need downhill performance and walk-ability, such as ski patrollers and alpine coaches. For 09/10, the Endorphin features the new Rapid thermoformable liner and new graphics. Xena features the new women Rapid thermoformable liner and new graphics. Endorphin and Xena includes two sets of interchange-able soles; ISO Alpine and Ski Mountaineering. Axon is available with either a men or women specific Rapid liner. For the growing popularity of big skis mounted with lightweight bindings by many big-mountain backcountry skiers, Axon has molded in TECH* fittings for use with the lightest weight AT binding setups. Axon is available with either men- or women-specific Rapid thermoformable liners. 2009/2010 Garmont Endorphin Men Sizes: 25-30.5 Mondo MSRP: $689.95 Color: Red/Black Binding Compatibility: Alpine, Universal Ski Mountaineering 2009/2010 Garmont Xena Women Sizes: 23-27.5 Mondo MSRP: $689.95 Color: Blue Pearl/White Binding Compatibility: Alpine, Universal Ski Mountaineering 2009/2010 Garmont Axon Men Sizes: 25-30.5 Mondo Women Sizes: 23-27.5 Mondo MSRP: $749.95 Color: Bronze/Dark Silver Binding Compatibility: Universal Ski Mountaineering, TECH* More Info: Visit GarmontUSA.com
