Welcome Fischer to the skimo boot club. And what an entrance! The Travers Carbon is a compelling ski boot that weighs barely a kilo. It has the torsional stiffness of an alpine boot, due to the placement of a carbon fiber sheath in the sole. It has an incredibly smooth fit dial on the forefoot: a BOA cable rigged around brass pulleys. It has a rugged Velcro upper-buckle that controls the stiffness. It has a simple ski/walk mode lever for quick changes. It has a robust, waterproof liner cover to keep the snow out. It has 80° of ankle articulation. Did we mention it barely weighs a kilo? True story.

• No-Torsion base is built with a layer of carbon fiber in the sole to prevent twisting*.
• Waterproof gaiter affixed to the lower shell keeps all outside moisture off the liner.
• Lace Frame System is a BOA closure that enables a precise fit with a simple twist.
• Active Cuff is a free-pivoting cuff system with incredible range and lack of friction.
• Forefoot width is on the plus side for the categories of racing and lightweight touring.
• Comfortable Palau liner is heat moldable and easy to get on and off with webbing loops.
• Phatt Maxx Tour buckle is a combination buckle and adjustable Velcro power strap.
• Simple rear lever-throw is stiff and tucks neatly into the cuff when walking.
• FYI, Travers (not traverse) is an amalgamation of the words TRAnsalp and VERSatile.

* With tech bindings, the boot sole is the bridge between the toe and heel, and a more rigid connection results in greater power transfer.

Update 2016/17: Fischer updated the sole after the early production run of spring 2016 to prevent premature wear. All our stock has the update.

Update 2019/20: This boot was replaced by the Travers CS which, while functionally equivalent, is way more yellow.
