Description
Whether you are an aspiring skimo racer or just looking for winter fitness at your local ski hill, the Alien represents an unbeatable blend of value and performance. The cuff and shell feature light but strong Grilamid reinforced with glass and carbon fibers to deliver high function at a reasonable price. The Speed Lock Lite system connects the ski/walk lever with cuff operation via Dyneema cord, providing simple, single-action transitions from up to down and back again. The Intuition liner offers legendary fit, comfort and warmth, while the floating BOA closure system ensures quick, easy and durable fit tensioning. All of these features come together seamlessly in the Alien to support your winter fitness objectives.
Grilamid FG LFT: Grilamid with long glass fibers is a stiff and economical solution that provides lightweight power at a low weight
Carbon Grilamid LFT: shell & cuff are made of CG-LFT, a carbon-reinforced polymer that is super-light but still stiff and strong
Speed Lock Lite: Simple and secure, with 2 forward lean positions, the Speed Lock Lite ski-walk mechanism is strong and reliable on the downhill and fast on the transitions due to a single action Dyneema cord that closes the cuff
BOA Fit System: Dial in the perfect fit with our exclusive floating BOA Fit System closure, providing precise and secure adjustments with no pressure points
Vibram UFO Sole: Made with TOP85 compound that offers great durability and grip in cold conditions

BOA FIT SYSTEM
The patented BOA Fit System consists of three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial, super-strong lightweight laces, and low friction lace guides. Each unique configuration is engineered for effortless precision delivering a connected, fast, customized, and durable fit, and is backed by The BOA Guarantee. The Alien system is an exclusive floating system located under the waterproof fabric cover that contracts downwards on the instep of the liner as the dial is tightened, precisely controlling volume and fit.
