For example, we’ve got one well known brand here that weighs in at 41 ounces for their 4-buckle cabrio shell in the same size as our evaluation Sportivas. ![]() Where does that stand in the backcountry boot spectrum? We would not call Spectre THE lightest 4 buckle boot out there, but it’s in the exalted pantheon of several lightest. Old is 41.4 ounces per boot, new is 42.7, a difference of 1.3 ounces, 37 grams. Weight is virtually the same, the liners are pretty much identical so for a more telling comparison I weighed without liners. Overall, WildSnow kudos to Sportiva for well executed incremental improvements.

Qubbles aside, they served a lot of backcountry skiers. Low shell over the arch and a modicum of bulging during flex were downsides.
