SCARPA Ribelle S OD — Ribelle summer trail 2019, lightweight and technical shoe

New SCARPA Ribelle S OD: Ribelle summer trail 2019

Are you looking for a shoe that maintains speed without sacrificing comfort? The SCARPA® Ribelle S OD is designed for that. On slopes, ridges, in technically demanding descents or in quick approaches: the Scarpa Ribelle summer trail embodies the balance between running and mountain. Designed for true athletes, it offers a rolling, fast, and healthy walk thanks to the SockFit Plus construction and the waterproof and breathable OutDry® membrane.

We talk technical but remain pragmatic: this Ribelle S OD is compatible with semi-automatic crampons, making it usable for fast alpine races. The goal? To allow you to go faster, without getting cold or slipping. The Vibram Megagrip sole offers reassuring grip, even on wet rocks. You want to save time on transitions and stay calm on technical terrain: that’s the promise kept.

This shoe fits perfectly into a technical wardrobe: it coexists with high-performance outdoor shoes for outings that blur the lines between trail and mountain, and it is protective enough for alpine approaches. Lightweight and dynamic, the Ribelle S OD is a serious option if you want to push the pace without feeling held back.

Design and sensations on the ground

The SockFit Plus construction wraps the foot like a technical sock: precise support without pressure points. The OutDry® lining limits infiltrations while allowing breathability: useful for unstable days or wet snow passages. The sole profile promotes a quick stride: you feel the propulsion, you feel the reactivity. You maintain control when the slope steepens.

We are in a successful compromise: flexible enough to run fast, stable enough for uneven terrains. For alpine greens or trail runners pushing in the mountains, it’s a true versatile weapon. And yes, we’re talking real: tested on the ground by the AlpinStore team, the Ribelle keeps its promises without frills.

Technical characteristics

These numbers speak: 440 g for a half pair, it’s lightweight for a shoe capable of handling technical passages. The combination of materials optimizes waterproofing and breathability: you stay dry without overheating when the pace picks up.

For whom and in what conditions?

The Ribelle targets versatile athletes: mountain trail runners, fast alpine climbers, adventurers who want a single model for approaches and technical progressions. Are you contemplative but want to go fast? This shoe keeps up with your tempo. Are you fearless and looking for reliability underfoot? Same.

Thinking about equipment is not trivial: a high-performance trail bag facilitates transitions, suitable shoes ensure technique. If you want to assemble a complete kit, keep in mind that the Ribelle S OD naturally integrates into a high-performance trail setup for long and committed outings.

Practical tips and purchases

Do you want to buy trail shoes that follow you everywhere? Try the Ribelle with the socks you use on outings, and simulate short descents to feel the support. We recommend testing the size corresponding to your use: a little space in front of the toes if you descend a lot. If you want to buy trail shoes for summer, think about breathability and the sole's grip on wet surfaces.

For those comparing offers, AlpinStore seeks the optimal: a trail setup at the best price without sacrificing technique. We guide you to choose your trail gear according to your goal: speed, protection, versatility, or reduced weight.
