Nitro Incline TLS

The Nitro Incline TLS features a molded heel welt specifically designed for semi-automatic crampons. While they are highly secure for technical backcountry terrain, you should always verify your specific crampon model's compatibility with a heel-welt boot before heading out.

The boot includes a removable Power Tongue Stiffener that allows you to customize the flex. You can insert or remove the stiffener to toggle between three distinct flex patterns, giving you a softer feel for skinning or a stiffer, more responsive ride for technical descents.

Yes, the Incline TLS is equipped with a Therminator Shield, a reflective layer placed between the sole and the liner. This thermal barrier effectively reflects your body heat back into the boot, preventing cold from seeping up through the outsole during long, stationary periods.

Absolutely. The Hike'N'Ride construction is engineered to allow for a more natural, fluid stride while skinning. This design reduces resistance during the ascent, making long approaches significantly less fatiguing compared to standard stiff snowboard boots.

The boot features E-foam toe protection, which is a highly durable, abrasion-resistant material. It is specifically built to withstand the wear and tear of rocky scrambles and ice contact that you encounter in serious backcountry environments.

The Vibram Backcountry Outsole uses Arctic Grip and Icetrek compounds. These materials are specifically formulated to provide superior traction on slick, icy surfaces, giving you much better grip than a standard rubber sole when you're boot-packing or navigating icy ridges.
