Tech Tip: Scarpa F1 Evo, Evo-lution or devolution?

by Lucy Higgins September 24, 2015 Leave a Comment

In early February 2015, SCARPA issued a voluntary recall on their F1 Evo boot, a 2015 Editors’ Choice winner, after less than a year of retail availability. The AT boot’s patented “Tronic System” automatically switched from walk to ski mode when locked into a pin-tech binding, but problems arose when the mechanism unexpectedly switched back to walk mode while skiing.

SCARPA says they’re using this year as a chance to tweak and update another version of the Evo, which they hope to debut in fall 2016. And at this point, if SCARPA knows what the next generation of the Evo will look like, they aren’t telling as of press time. For some of SCARPA’s available, tour-focused options, check out the Maestrale RS and Gea RS.

: ERIC BLEHM: MEET YOUR HEROES
Eric Blehm’s roots in snowboarding run deep. He started riding during the sport’s infancy, and after college became an editor at Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine. Years later, he was in a lift line when a fellow rider saw the “Craig Kelly is my Co-Pilot” sticker on his board, and asked Blehm: “Who is Craig Kelly?” He was floored by the notion that there were snowboarders out there who didn’t know who Craig was. And this inspired him to write The Darkest White.
