Buona Sera. Ci siamo trovati più che bene. Rapida e precisa la consegna. Materiale perfetto. Per noi che, praticamente, viviamo in rifugio, oltreché lavorarci, è una bella comodità: tutto è arrivato all'indirizzo che avevamo lasciato, quello della panetteria dove compriamo il pane, siamo scesi ed abbiamo ritirato il Pacco La Sportiva ed il sacco del pane, senza alcuna necessità di viaggi fino a Pinerolo o Torino per riuscire a fare l'acquisto. Tutto Ottimo. Grazie.

The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
