Orbit

2012-01-31T08:46:00.000-08:00

The 3-buckle Orbit is a solid, performance ski mountaineering boot with a weight that travels in the rarefied atmosphere of racing stock. Orbits will drive big skis, but when combined with a lighter-weight touring ski and binding they are the perfect combination to go fast and light. Their feather weight tours effortlessly with none of the squirrely behavior of an ultralight racing-type rig. The Orbit’s liner is Garmont’s unique EZ Fit design that fits right out of the box, and is 100% thermoformable for those who prefer more customization. It is warm and comfortable for demanding ski mountaineering. Don’t compromise security and skiability for light weight—get into Orbit and you’ll have both.

Garmont North America thanks Gord Bailey for 15 years of service

2011-04-28T17:14:00.000-07:00

WILLISTON, VERMONT (April 28, 2011) – Garmont North America bids farewell to Gord Bailey this week, as the former president announced his departure from the brand group.

After 15 dedicated years with Garmont N.A. – overseeing Garmont Ski and Hike, Bridgedale socks and Life-Link backcountry equipment – Bailey is leaving the group to pursue new challenges in the outdoor and ski industries.

“Gord has nurtured the Garmont brand for more than a decade, helping grow it to the strong position we enjoy today. The current collection of award-winning, performance-driven ski boots, hiking boots, socks and backcountry gear in the Garmont N.A. family is unparalleled, and we wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors,” said Joshua Gibbs, national sales director for Garmont N.A.

During the transition, Gibbs will direct national sales efforts across all divisions (joshuag@garmontusa.com), as Patrick O’Neil (patricko@garmontusa.com) will oversee all financial and operational duties.

“We are having our best spring in the history of Garmont N.A. Sell through has been strong at retail and a number of our models have been praised by various publications. I am confident that with our expanded winter footwear collection and new ski boot designs, fall will be equally record setting,” Gibbs stated.

This spring, Garmont’s Zenith Mid GTX hiking boot was named to the 2011 Gear of the Year list by Outside, America’s leading active lifestyle magazine. Winning the “Light Hiking” category highlighted Garmont’s dedication to trail specific footwear for both men and women.

Coming in the fall, Garmont’s cutting edge PowerFrame Freeride AT collection establishes an entirely new class of boot, blending superior alpine performance with full uphill capability. With this collection Garmont has once again proven itself a leader in the rapidly growing world of alpine touring.

“Both personally and professionally, it’s been a great experience working with Garmont the last 15 years,” said Bailey. “Helping the brand grow to become a cornerstone of the outdoor industry has been extremely satisfying.”

Garmont Zenith Mid GTX light hiker wins Outside Magazine Gear of the Year Award

2011-04-25T12:46:00.000-07:00

WILLISTON, VERMONT (For Immediate Release)- Garmont North America -- designers of high-performance ski boots and technical footwear, proudly announce the Zenith Mid GTX has been named Gear of the Year by Outside, America’s leading active lifestyle magazine.

“Winning an Outside Gear of the Year award is a great honor for Garmont,” said Garmont president Gord Bailey. “The Zenith series was born from our passion for clean, innovative design and our mission to create products that enhance outdoor performance. This award confirms we’ve succeeded.”

Winning the “Light Hiking” category in the Gear of the Year awards, the Garmont Zenith Mid GTX was praised for its durability and breathability.

The Garmont award will appear in the magazine’s Spring/Summer Buyers Guide, scheduled to hit newsstands on May 1, 2011, remain on display through September, and reach more than 1.3 million readers.

“We tried to beat up and overwhelm this light-hiking boot,” says Buyer’s Guide Editor Sam Moulton. “But we failed. It’s light and flexible enough for quick, mellower hikes, yet still sturdy enough for more serious adventures in more technical terrain.”

The Zenith Mid GTX is a mid-cut boot for serious excursions, from day hikes in the hills to multi-day expeditions on rugged trails. Water repellant nubuk leather and highly breathable abrasion resistant mesh, Gore-Tex upper and Vibram® Morlin Hike outsoles create the ideal balance of breathability and support to challenge extreme conditions while keeping feet comfortable.

During extensive testing throughout late fall, Outside’s testing staff raved about the Zenith Mid GTX’s ability to perform in a broad variety of conditions.

“It was the most breathable mid in our test, thanks to well-placed mesh panels,” said the testing team. “The fit? Love at first step. Testers raved about the shapely heel cups, which kept feet in place, and smooth liners, which prevented hot spots.”

One pious tester remarked: “I thank Jesus for these boots every day.”

Products honored in Outside’s Buyers Guide include many of the best designed and best performing gear available on the market today. An exclusive list, the winners of the Gear of the Year award were chosen after several months of demanding tests.

The shoe and boot test, led by Jason Stevenson, called in 63 models (108 pairs) of shoes. Test venues included Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park and Zion National Park in Utah among others. After the rigorous testing, Garmont’s Zenith Mid GTX survived as one of only nine shoes to appear in the prestigious Gear of the Year listing.

Garmont debuts PowerFrame Freeride: A new category of AT boots devoted to pure downhill performance in the side-country

2011-02-23T07:37:00.000-08:00

WILLISTON, VERMONT (For Immediate Release) – Garmont (www.garmontusa.com), the pioneering boot design team that started the freeride AT revolution … has done it again.

Blending a radically superior internal chassis for pure downhill performance – known as the PowerFrame – with an unparalleled package of fit, features, and touring function, it’s clear that Garmont has gone far beyond merely setting a new standard. They’ve established an entirely new class of boots, blending superior alpine performance with full uphill capability.

“Garmont’s designers have once again redefined what’s possible in the world of freeride AT,” said Garmont president Gord Bailey. “They nailed it in 2005 with the category changing Adrenalin and they have done it again with the new freeride collection for winter 2011”The dealers coming back from the on-snow demo events have confirmed the unique power and performance of this new collection. There is clearly an unquenched demand in the market for a full performance alpine boot with AT capability. Garmont is pleased to be the first brand to answer that call.”

Engineered by industry legend Paul Parker and Garmont’s prominent development team, Garmont’s PowerFrame Freeride collection is led by the men’s Delirium ($799, 130 AT flex), women’s Asylum ($799, 120 AT flex). These boots serve up race-boot downhill performance, with exceptional ability to drive the biggest skis on the biggest terrain.

Both boots balance powerful performance technology with full touring capability, granting access to the most challenging lines. They are equally desirable for experienced alpine skiers seeking more comfort and versatility in their everyday freeriding.

Key features in both boots include:

•Anatomically-correct, comfortable, high-Performance fit: The last pairs a natural forefoot width for comfort with a snug, secure mid-foot and heel fit for solid edge control.

•High Overlap shell design eliminates the “dead spot” of traditional and restrictive “boot tongue”. The High Overlap generates instant contact for a progressive flex with remarkable leverage, delivering perfect power transfer to the medial mid-foot—exactly where you need it to arc drive today’s big skis. The High Overlap and cuff cradle the foot and lower-leg comfortably and closely, generating a lightning -fast response

•Multi-injected insert construction uses select technical polymers for an exceptionally damp and solid alpine-boot feel. The lower shell is double-injected with a stiffer internal “pod” that secures your foot in solid comfort and links seamlessly to the outer frame for incredible leverage.

•Garmont’s EZFit Liner is the first true hybrid liner on the market, combining the out-of-the-box comfort and performance of a traditional liner with the made-to-measure customization of a 100%-thermoformable liner.

•Quick-Change sole sets are compatible with all 3 binding norms (TECH, ISO Alpine, ISO Touring), and can be changed in a flash. They are snapped securely into place and fixed with only three pozi-drive bolts per boot.

•Bomber Easy³ Magnesium Ski/Walk Mechanism has multiple forward lean positions that can be quickly and precisely adjusted.

•The sturdy Easy³ Ski/Walk Lever on the new Garmont freeride boots features an asymmetric and ergonomic design that’s easy to open and close with gloves.

•lightweight, strong, elegant new Magnesium FR buckles

2011-01-13T12:06:00.001-08:00

NTN Demo Tour allows consumers to try before they buy,

and save with $100 Garmont free-heel rebate

WILLISTON, VERMONT (For Immediate Release) – The NTN Demo Tour, hosted by Telemark Skier Magazine and featuring Garmont’s award-winning NTN boots, will canvas east and west coast ski areas offering free-to-consumer NTN on snow demos.

The demo tour allows consumers to experience revolutionary fit and performance of the innovative new NTN system, at no charge, before making purchase decisions. Six stops are scheduled at resorts spanning both coasts from now through February.

Registration for any tour stop grants participants exclusive access to a full NTN system for the day comprised of; Rottefella NTN bindings (2011 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice), K2 skis and a choice of boots including Garmont’s award winning men’s Prophet (2011 Telemark Skier Magazine Editor’s Choice, 2010 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice, 2011 Outside Winter Buyer’s Guide), and women’s Priestess women’s boot (2011 Telemark Skier Magazine Editor’s Choice, 2011 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice Award, 2011 Outside Winter Buyer’s Guide). Also included in registration is a $100 rebate card for a future NTN system purchase.

“This tour is an exceptional opportunity for the telemark community, to gain familiarity with the NTN system. NTN provides a clear boost in performance and safety for telemark skiers and until the end of January, purchasers of both a Garmont NTN boot and NTN binding are rewarded with a $100 mail in rebate,” said Gord Bailey, president of Garmont.

NTN consumer demos are currently scheduled for:
- December 5, 2010, Loveland Ski Area, Georgetown, Colorado.
- December 11, 2010, Jay Peak Resort, Jay, Vermont.
- January 8th and 9th, 2011, Hoodoo Ski Area, Hoodoo, OR, as part of the North West Tele-Fest.

- January 29, 2011, Steamboat Ski Resort, Steamboat, Colorado.
- February 25th and 26th, 2011, Alpine Meadows Telemark Festival, Alpine Meadows, California.

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”.

Garmont proudly announces the addition of Griffin Post, 2010 US Extreme Freeskiing Champion, as brand ambassador

2010-12-03T06:51:00.000-08:00

WILLISTON, VERMONT (for immediate release) – Garmont North America, designers of high-performance ski boots and technical outdoor footwear, this week signed big mountain extreme skier Griffin Post to their brand ambassador team.

A power player on the freeskiing world stage, Post is the reigning US Extreme Freeskiing Champion. Competing globally on the Subaru Freesking World Tour and the Freeride World Tour, Post’s competition circuit brings him face to face with the best skiers on the most challenging terrain in the world.

Post was born in Austria, raised in Idaho and now calls Jackson Hole, Wyoming his home. His skiing career started at age 3, and today at age 27 his career includes descents of some of the world’s most remote and iconic destinations, such as Chamonix, France; Engadin St. Moritz, Switzerland; Telluride, Colo.; Sochi, Russia; and, Las Lenas, Argentina.

“Griffin Post is relentlessly enthusiastic about the sport of skiing and we’re thrilled have Garmont represented in that light through him,” said Gord Bailey, president of Garmont. “Constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible on snow; we are pleased to support Posts’ intense skiing adventures and excited to see where he takes Garmont next.”

In May 2010 Post employed Garmont’s Radium to conquer his “Source to Sea” expedition. During the thirty-day journey Post skied, traversed and rafted the highest peaks of Alaska’s Brooks Range, along the Noatak River-the largest protected watershed in the United States- to it’s Delta in Kotzebue before traversing and rafting out to the Chuki Sea.

For 2011 Post will be venturing into the backcountry in Garmont’s Radium and Masterlite alpine touring boots. For competition and exposed inbound lines Post buckles up the Garmont Shaman.

Known for numerous sport-specific innovations and a performance fit supported by Anatomically Directed Design, Garmont’s exceptional product line includes award-winning alpine, alpine touring and telemark ski boots; and outdoor footwear for mountaineering, backpacking, hiking and trail sports.

For winter 2011, Garmont’s ski mountaineering collection is led by their new high performance alpine touring boot: the Masterlite. With a dynamic lightweight design, the Masterlite weighs in at only 1090g per boot, yet still provides the exceptional control and performance needs of demanding skiers like Post.

Developed by Garmont engineers over the last two years, the Masterlite features a unique spiderweb “Webframe” shell which shaves hundreds of grams per boot while still maintaining the critical elements needed for solid structure and high performance.

Garmont’s Radium – also preferred by Post – is one of the true icons of backcountry skiing. Blending control and comfort, the Radium features four-buckle performance in a lightweight multiple injection shell. The Radium’s overlap shell design follows the anatomy of the foot and lower leg for crisp, precise downhill performance. At the same time, the design eliminates a restrictive tongue to allow more independent movement between the cuff and lower shell.

The Shaman and women's Astral aim to please with a performance design tweaked for freeriders, added volume full days and an easier walking, ski mountaineering sole than it's brothers G2, G1_130, and G1_150. Shaman was born from the remarkable G1 race boot, the newest and most anatomic race boot available, where the boot shell is brought as close to the foot as possible. The G1_130 is a race boot with a more forgiving all day fit. The G2 is our all mountain performance boot that offers superb performance and a forgiving flex for a wide variety of terrain.

Endorphin, Adrenalin, and Axon remain the stiffest alpine boots with these functions. The Axon has Dynafit binding fittings so you can have a setup that is 2 pounds lighter than with the most popular frame bindings. Endorphin remains a bit stiffer than Adrenalin and has sexier, Magnesium buckles.

The anatomical "pre-punched" shell and overlap close around the foot and instep securely and comfortably. The overlap design closes the shin gap, characteristic to the traditional tongue design so that the lower leg and instep make immediate contact with the High-Overlap shell.The result is super-quick response and a smooth, progressive flex.

The Kenai, our most versatile Men’s Power Wrap 75mm boot, has an easier flex and mid-height cuff that were designed for those who tour as much as they frequent the resorts, and for free-heel skiers who prefer a lower cuff design. With its High Overlap and anatomical shape, it skis like the biggest boots, with more flexibility for deeper teles and touring. Its cuff locks securely for turns and can be unlocked to hinge freely. Four separate injections fine-tune the Kenai’s superb forward flex and decisive lateral stiffness. The Power Wrap’s a.d.d. anatomical shell has a custom-bootfitter fit right out of the box, with “pre-punched” areas for skier’s feet.

Free-heel rebate rewards your skiing with power, precision and the award-winning ‘New Telemark Norm’

WILLISTON, VERMONT (September 26, 2010) – Step up to the control and confidence of a new NTN boot-and-binding package this winter, and step away with a $100 rebate.

Encouraging free-heel skiers to reward themselves with the award-winning control and confidence of NTN (a.k.a. “"New Telemark Norm”) boot-and-binding systems, the first-time offer will launch on Oct. 1, 2010, and run through January 31, 2011.

The rebate applies to the Garmont Prophet men’s boot (winner, 2010 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice Award), the Garmont Priestess women’s boot (winner, 2011 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice Award), and the Rottefella NTN binding (winner, 2011 Backcountry Magazine Editor’s Choice Award).

“This is an exceptional opportunity for every telemark skier to step up to the exceptional power, control and comfort of NTN boot-and-binding systems,” said Gord Bailey, president of Garmont USA.

For those eager to try it before they buy it, Garmont/NTN demos will be available on the Backcountry Magazine demo tour at multiple locations throughout the country. For a complete list of demo locations, visit www.garmontusa.com/rore.html

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, as they have a softer flex for comfort, and can accept 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.
