Semi-automatic crampon boots Scarpa Ribelle HD - carbon/tonic size: 46

The Scarpa Ribelle HD is engineered for uncompromising protection on technical alpine routes, featuring a 2.5mm Perwanger suede leather upper with a directly laminated HDry® waterproof-breathable membrane. This construction reduces water absorption and accelerates drying, keeping your feet dry during high-output climbs. The semi-automatic crampon compatibility (B2) pairs with a Vibram® Mont Litebase outsole to deliver reliable traction on mixed terrain, while the Pro-Fiber Roll shank provides the torsional rigidity needed for front-pointing on steep ice.
