NTN systems are wholly unique from their telemark boot-and-binding predecessors, providing exceptional advantages to the free-heel crowd, including step-in convenience, massive underfoot control, injury-preventing sideways release, and powerful symmetric performance.
Winner of the 2011 Editor’s Choice Award from Backcountry Magazine, Garmont’s Priestess NTN for women is a high performance telemark boot that satisfies a long list of free-heel skiing dreams. The Priestess blends a sweet forward flex and alpine-like torsional rigidity and control, a round toe for easy walking and scrambling, easy binding entry without bending over or twisting around, a free-pivot touring mode, and integrated ski brakes to keep your skis in check. The Priestess boasts Garmont’s new Ergo Bellows design for the smoothest, most ergonomic forward flex.
The Prophet NTN for men, winner of the
2010 Editor’s Choice Award from Backcountry Magazine, is recognized as the most powerful and precise NTN boot on the marketplace. Utilizing Garmont’s unique Power-Wrap overlap construction, the Prophet closely and comfortably follows the foot’s anatomy with a “pre-punched” shell shape that closes securely around the foot and allows the ankle and bellows to flex freely. The high overlap stays in close contact with the lower leg for the quickest response and leverage with no tongue gap and subsequent lag time.Providing a boost of power and control, both the Prophet and the Priestess excel in hard-snow hiking, accepting a broader range of crampons for technical ascents. Garmont boots are also the only NTN telemark boots in the marketplace with a replaceable underfoot interface known as a “second heel”.
