The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Alfa Varo BC GTX M are men's Nordic Backcountry Ski boots designed for use in cold winter conditions. They combine Solarcore thermal insulation, a Gore-Tex membrane, and a Perwanger leather upper to provide warmth, protection, and comfort during long days on the snow.
Solarcore insulation helps minimize heat loss. The Gore-Tex membrane with winter insulation ensures waterproofing while allowing moisture to escape. The wear-resistant Perwanger split-leather upper gradually softens to mold to the shape of the foot. The leather is durable and easy to maintain. The bottom of the boots is protected by a rubber reinforcement that reduces wear caused by friction against hard snow, ice, and rocks.
The Rottefella BC3 sole is compatible with NNN BC bindings. Its slightly curved profile promotes a natural foot roll and a smooth stride. This design can also reduce friction at the heel, especially during long distances.
With their 14.5 cm mid-cut shaft, the Varo BC GTX M boots are suitable for day-long Nordic hikes, crossings of snow-covered plateaus, and routes over hilly terrain. Their design prioritizes walking comfort and freedom of movement, while providing thermal protection suited to winter conditions.

| Additional information | Size Guide: To easily measure the length of the foot, place a piece of paper against the wall. Then place the foot (barefoot or with a thin sock) on the paper with the heel against the wall. It is important to stand upright when measuring. Put a line in front of the longest toe and measure with a ruler. Measure both feet; it is not uncommon for one foot to be larger than the other. Round up to the nearest integer to find your size. |
