The four-buckle boot that delivers maximum support, solidity and downhill power without compromising uphill performance.
La Sportiva, the Val di Fiemme based leader in the production of technical footwear and apparel for mountain sports, presents Sender, a model that redefines the boundary between touring and freetouring, designed for those seeking exceptional downhill support with no compromise on uphill efficiency. An innovative product marking a leap toward a new category of users who see the descent as the natural completion of the ski-mountaineering experience.
With Sender, La Sportiva offers a four-buckle boot capable of providing support and power on the most technical sections while ensuring fluid movement during moments of maximum freedom. Among the main innovations introduced in the boot is the dual-layer tongue with a wide opening angle, which allows unprecedented ease of entry while maintaining the rigidity needed to tackle technical descents.
Thanks to the combination of different materials, La Sportiva has brought together top-tier performance in a single ski boot, with the aim of emphasizing the downhill phase without sacrificing the uphill. The Grilamid® Bio Based LF Carbon cuff ensures robustness and responsiveness, while the Pebax® Rnew shell maintains excellent flexibility even in very cold temperatures. In addition, the cuff’s 64° range of motion enables a natural and efficient stride, reducing fatigue and preserving energy for the descent. The four ergonomic, asymmetrical buckles are easy to operate even with gloves and are designed to offer optimal grip on both sides of the boot, ensuring a precise and customizable fit, while the FORCE Closure System™ distributes pressure evenly across the foot for lasting comfort. Finally, the FORCE Wrap System™ tongue wraps the foot and transmits power directly to the skis, delivering greater security and stability for skis up to 120 mm.
The Frixion® Purple sole ensures excellent grip and maximum compatibility with both ski-mountaineering and alpine bindings, while the S4 Inserts™ make pin step-in easier for a quick, intuitive transition between uphill and downhill.
The thermal, highly comfortable liner offers a precise, fully customizable fit, ensuring comfort and thermoregulation even during long outings. Weighing 1480 grams (size 26.5 men’s), Sender confirms itself as the ideal companion for those who love exploring the most dynamic side of ski mountaineering, where power, freedom, and precision coexist in perfect balance.
To complete the outfit, La Sportiva introduces the new ski-mountaineering set consisting of the Sender GTX Performance Jacket and Sender GTX Performance Bib Pants. Made with GORE-TEX Performance featuring an ePE membrane, the garments offer waterproofness, wind protection, and optimal breathability during freetouring outings. The jacket, designed with a helmet-compatible hood and underarm vents, ensures comfort and mobility in every phase of the activity. The pants, equipped with adjustable suspenders, pre-shaped knees, side ventilation zippers, and expandable cargo pockets, complete the set by providing functionality and protection even in the most demanding conditions.
