Presentation of the new Scarpa F1 80th anniversary special edition 2018 2019

SCARPA F1 anniversary edition: the special F80 for 80 years

The exclusive 2018 version of the SCARPA F1 in a limited edition celebrates 80 years of a history shaped by the mountains. You recognize the design: red, historic logo, lines designed for mountaineering and ski touring. It's a piece of history, yes, but it's above all a shoe that performs on the ground. We're talking real, like between climbing buddies: field tests, user feedback, practical advice.

Why does this anniversary edition matter? Because it brings together several innovations: a lightweight shell with carbon core technology, an X-Cage Evo cuff for power transmission, and a Pro Flex Evo liner that hugs the foot. The BOA system provides millimeter precision without pressure points, and the Vibram sole offers reassuring grip when walking on rock or hard snow.

The F80 anniversary juggles versatility and precision: dynamic ascent, secure locking for descent, and comfort for long days. It allows you to tackle passes, ridges, and rappels without losing sensations. We explain the technical points, then move on to buying advice and essential additional equipment to optimize your outing.

Technical sheet and specifications

Do you want a shoe that can do it all? The F1 anniversary edition is designed for ski mountaineering enthusiasts who want lightness and confidence. The rear lock facilitates the transition between walk/ski, and the carbon structure ensures responsiveness and precision.

Technologies that make a difference

The BOA system offers progressive and secure tightening: one click equals 1 mm of adjustment, and once locked, it holds. It's precise, it's clean, and it avoids hot spots. The integrated RECCO reflector in the right strap is a plus for safety: rescuers have an additional tool alongside ARVA and search dogs.

The combination of carbon core and X-Cage Evo gives you a shoe capable of meeting the demands of modern ski mountaineering: smooth ascent, quick transition, and sufficient support for engaging in technical descents.

For whom and when?

The SCARPA F1 is intended for committed skiers, competitors, and demanding hikers. It suits the mountaineer who wants a shoe for long days, and the competitor looking for responsiveness and lightness. And if you are contemplative, it maintains comfort to enjoy the panoramas without compromise.

Need complete equipment for a worry-free outing? Think about completing your arsenal: poles, skins, suitable bindings, and a technical backpack. At AlpinStore, we guide you, offering options tailored to your level and budget.

• Closure: BOA system for fine adjustment
• Safety: integrated RECCO reflector
• Transmission: carbon core and X-Cage Evo
• Sole: Vibram for grip and durability

If you're looking for a solution to go fast and light, we also offer alternatives and accessories: optimized skins, additional soles, and bags designed for technical routes. Not to mention advice for maintenance and adjusting the liner after several outings.

For tight budgets, we recommend evaluating the entire equipment before buying: sometimes replacing a binding or a bag is more relevant than changing shoes. And for those who want to save, there is entry-level gear and temporary offers in-store.

Where to buy and practical advice

AlpinStore presents the SCARPA F1 anniversary edition with clear information: field tests, user feedback, and technical sheets. If you want to buy climbing and après-ski shoes, think about versatility: a mountain model adapted for mountaineering will not always replace a comfortable après-ski in the resort.

You can complete your setup with a good ski touring pole equipment to optimize support on the ascent, and check the compatibility of the bindings. If you need skins quickly for an imminent outing, we sometimes offer ski touring skins with express delivery so you don't miss an advantageous weather window.

Also think about smart buying options: there are cheap ski touring gear to get started without sacrificing safety. If you want a reliable connection between shoe and ski, check out the cheap ski touring bindings suited to your weight and usage.

• Check the size: try in-store or measure your real fit
• Test the BOA tightening on several foot positions

To carry all that, check the ski touring bags for sale designed for mountaineering: compartments for shovel and probe, quick access to crampons, comfortable carrying. And if you practice other styles, know that there is a high-performance Telemark equipment for nostalgia of free tracks, as well as a wide choice of ski touring equipment to prepare for a complete season.

Finally, for physical preparation and practice, we share stories: long outings, committed descents, lessons learned in the field. The members of the AlpinStore team are seasoned athletes who test and select each product. We give you an honest opinion: what works, what holds up, and what to avoid.
