In ancient Roman culture the goddess Minerva symbolized wisdom. Today, Minerva represents Garmont"s new, high performance, women"s specific 75mm telemark boot, one that wisely combines the best downhill performance and remarkable comfort. Our burliest free-ride telemark design, there has never been a women"s 75mm boot with this level of performance and comfort. The Minerva"s unprecedented lateral stiffness works in harmony with a sweet, smooth, progressive forward flex. Telemark or alpine turn to your heart"s content, with comfort and smooth, graceful power. The key to the Minerva"s design is in our multiple injections: four different injections that laterally reinforce the lower shell like and alpine boot, while working in unison with perfectly placed flex zones for the proper telemark flex. Shell: Pebax, Flex Index: 130 TM, Liner: Rapid Thermo W, Closure: 3 wide open buckles and power strap, Forward Lean: 25 degrees and free for walking, System: 75mm.
