The new Bestard Fast Forward range means a giant step forward in the new concept of athletic ultra-light mountain boots. An avant-guard design, rigorous selection of state-of-the-art technical materials and a minimalist design, make an ultra-light, modern boot-range with optimal performance in terms of support, comfort and functionality.
Bestard's Advanced Trekking collection incorporates a full range of differentiated technical mountaineering boots which shares many characteristics with our high mountain boots in terms of support and protection. At the same time they offer distinctive features in order to make them more versatile and comfortable during demanding and technical trekking routes in medium- to high-mountain terrain, including semi-rigid soles and the use of lighter, more breathable materials.
Except for the most technical climbs and extreme winter ascents, these all-terrain boots will allow you to undertake almost any mountaineering activity. They are designed first of all to perform faultlessly during long, alpine trekking routes in varying and challenging terrain and weather conditions, but they are also perfect for activities such as moderately technical alpine climbs, via ferratas, glacier-crossings and snowshoe ascents.
