Sammy Carlson's FL3X Diverge SC is the tech-compatible boot that won't sacrifice performance on the downhill. A comfortable Tour Pro Wrap Liner, removable 120 Flex Tongue and lightweight Evolution 3-Piece Shell work together to make the Diverge SC progressive and innovative within the resort ropes and beyond.
Ability Level
Overview
Fit
A slighlty more relaxed feel compared to most tour/backcountry boots. Medium volume around the rear foot and generous in the forefoot with some adaptability over the instep because of the cabrio design.
Shell
TPU / Grilamid shell and tongue, mouldable. Featuring a higher back cuff and lightweight Grilamid plastic, this construction will take you anywhere. FL3X 3-piece construction offers a smooth flex with no deformation of the shell, leading to better foot hold, increased control and improved shock absorption.
Liner
Tour Pro Wrap, mouldable. With a Tour Flex Notch, removable external J-Bars, lacing system, and power strap, the Tour Pro makes walking a blister-free experience in an enveloping, snug fit. The foam is listed here from foot to shell: 2mm Intuition MD, medium density and hardness for a solid balance of comfort and performance; 4mm Open Cell, ensures warmth and comfort straight out of the box; 7mm Intuition HD Foam, high density and firm for a responsive and efficient transfer of energy. This Intuition closed cell foam is body heat activated to mould 100% to your feet and shells during use, or can be instantly heat moulded by a shop in minutes for a light, warm and super comfortable fit. J-Bars are additional j-shaped piece of foam that is inserted internally on both sides of the ankle area to dramatically increase ankle hold down, to keep your feet perfectly in place for precise control.
Key Features
Wide Toe
A thinner foam is used in the front of the liner to increase space without sacrificing control for people with wider feet or who prefer a little more toe room.
GripWalk Outsole
Designed for a better purchase on unstable and slippery terrain. The convex shape and ribbed tread add both comfort and grip for getting from house to hill to peak.
Tour Hook and Flipped Bottom Buckle
Keep your buckles in place without impinging upon the full cuff rotation. The bottom buckle is flipped to sit on top of the boot. This keeps the buckle out of the way when you are leaning heavily into a turn, walking in deeper snow, going through narrow gaps, broken sliding on a rail, and more!
Ribbed Tongue
100% Ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang!
Walk Mode
Flip the lever up to ascend with ease. And when it's time to send it, flip the lever down, lock the cuff in place, and push into the fluid, progressive flex you've come to expect from FL3X. Works great for aprés bar sessions too.
Shock Absorber Boot Board
A soft rubber layer in the sole of the shell absorbs vibrations, impact and shock for a smooth ride.
