The shell is made from Lange’s powerful Dual Core. This three layer plastic technology features two firm layers of PU sandwiching a softer, and more elastic, layer of PU. The sandwich construction means that the boots harness your power as you flex the cuff, ready to release this energy at the end of the turn, resulting in an extremely energetic ride.

Looking at the liners, Lange has brought in their Dual 3D Liner, which features a pre-shaped design that matches the unique shape of the shell to reduce any dead spots where there would usually be a gap between the liner and shell. The anatomical fit also means that the liner wraps around your foot more naturally, again, providing more accurate power transmission.

You’ve got three high-density foams integrated in key zones (the tongue and the ankle) for improved responsiveness, and comfort, where it’s needed the most.

The XT3 130 LV features Lange’s Performance Boot Board which utilises a soft polypropylene that works as both an excellent insulator for improved warmth and, most importantly, provides excellent shock absorption for stomping airs and smoothing out underfoot vibrations.

Lange XT3 LV Fit

The Lange XT3 features Lange’s precision fit. This is the narrow fit that Lange quickly became known for. The race-inspired 97 mm last has been designed to give skiers more foot control and precision, without sacrificing too much comfort.

Who Is The Lange XT3 LV For?

Those looking for an out-and-out downhill performer, that also has the ability to walk uphill, are in for a real treat this winter. Boots like these and the Technica Cochise ski nearly as well as a regular alpine boot, with seriously impressive walk modes. The XT3 130 brings that legendary Lange fit and flex to the touring market in one of the highest performing boots on the market.
