The Scarpa Gea RS is the must-have boot for competent female ski tourers with medium volume feet seeking downhill performance without sacrificing uphill comfort. This latest version introduces a new Alpine Axial Hybrid construction that enhances downhill control and is reinforced with Carbon CORE Technology in both the cuff and clog, adding stiffness and precision. Grilamid Bio in the lower shell and Pebax Rnew® in the upper, both derived from renewable sources, combine sustainability with high performance. Paired with the ergonomic Cayman LT sole for optimum grip, and the SPEED LOCK MLT hike/ski system, the Gea RS ensures smooth transitions from walk to ski mode and boasts an impressive 61 degrees of fluid uphill movement. A Pro Flex Performance Intuition Liner provides warmth and a 100% mouldable fit, making the Gea RS a perfect blend of comfort and technical prowess for adventurous women on the hill.

Overview
Fit
Firm hold around the rear foot, medium width across the forefoot and over the instep but being a 3 piece shell there is some flexibility for volume over the top of the foot.
Shell
The Pebax® Rnew cuff, a bio-based thermoplastic elastomer made from castor oil, offers sustained flexibility, high cold impact resistance, and is 20% lighter than traditional materials. Grilamid BIO®, also derived from castor oil, adds stiffness and elasticity while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Combined with Carbon CORE Technology, an over-injected carbon insert in the cuff and clog, these materials collectively enhance stiffness, downhill power, and drive, all while embracing an eco-friendly approach.
Liner
Pro Flex Performance, mouldable. The Intuition thermoformable liner guarantees a precise, yet comfortable fit. Intuition liners ensure feet are kept warm and comfortable during extended use, without pressure points.
Key Features
Wave Closure M-LITE
Guarantees an accurate wrapping
of the foot on four points between
the malleolus and the forefoot that
equalizes the pressure on the foot.
3 adjustment points are available for
this system: the 3-tooth rack on the
lever, micro-regulator on the toe and
a second position for the lever on the
strap.
SPEED
LOCK MLT
Made of aluminium,
the SPEED LOCK
MLT is equipped
with Friction Free
technology that
allows maximum
agility and freedom
of movement
when walking. The
locking on the
shell is simple and
effective, the steel
harpoon and the
essential design
minimize the
possibility of snow
or ice accumulation,
ensuring easy
closure even
in extreme
conditions.
ACCELERATOR
The ski/walk
mechanism
consists of a
bar with riveted
steel bezel that
guarantees
maximum stability
with minimal
down games.
POWER BLOCK
TOUR
IIn ski mode, it
offers the best
rigidity of a
fixed-cuff boot,
while allowing
you to customize
the angle of the
front cuff. In
walk mode, give
supreme comfort
and mobility when
touring.
Cayman LT Sole
The new Cayman LT sole from SCARPA and Vibram® has an ergonomic design that guarantees optimal grip when walking in any type of terrain. Made of Durastep compound, it is equipped with Traction Lug technology which increases traction by up to 25% while maintaining stability.
Pebax® Rnew
Premium bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) made from the oil of the castor plant. They offer a unique combination of high performance properties: sustained flexibility at low temperature, high cold impact resistance, and outstanding energy return. These elastomers are typically 20% lighter than commonly used materials. In comparison to the Pebax® material, Pebax® Rnew elastomers combines a bio-sourced polyamide 11 rigid block (PA11) with a hydrophobic polyether soft chain. Bridging the gap between thermoplastics and rubbers, Pebax® Rnew materials offer a sustainable solution for a wide range of high performance applications in sport markets.
Grilamid BIO®
This polymer with a high BIO content guarantees a significant reduction in CO2 emissions while maintaining its main properties of stiffness and elasticity and high impact unaltered. In fact, it derives from the synthesis of castor oil. The castor plant does not compete with food crops for the land and is grown in semi-arid areas (India, China, Brazil). It is, therefore, an excellent alternative to polymers derived from fossil sources and is completely recyclable.
Carbon Core
The carbon inserts on the shell and cuff promote high torsional and longitudinal stiffness ensuring precision and control.
