Dalbello V.I.R.U.S. Lite ID Alpine Touring Ski Boots 2012: Inspired by and developed with all the essential performance features of Dalbello’s award winning 3 Piece Cabrio Design Krypton series, the Dalbello V.I.R.U.S. Lite ID Alpine Touring Ski Boots incorporate innovative, patented technologies to reduce weight and maximize walking/touring functionality for the backcountry. Part of the Rider Development Project under the guidance of legendary extreme skier Glen Plake (who is also a patent holder), V.I.R.U.S. have been expedition tested all over the world: Himalayas, Alaska, Andes, Alps, and the Sierras. The Lite ID is ultra-lightweight boot with high tech fit, function and flex - the ultimate in crossover performance for alpine touring, backcountry, and freeride.

Dalbello’s critically acclaimed, 3 Piece Cabrio Design combines a 3 piece construction assembly - shell/cuff/tongue – that comfortably secures the foot and lower leg while optimizing smooth and progressive flexibility. Smooth and progressive forward flex is precisely controlled using an external shell tongue. Only Cabrio Design ski boots feature rigid and precise lateral support while at the same time providing a smooth and progressive flex. Cabrio Design is able to adapt to a wider variety of feet shapes and instep heights than conventional ski boots due the “open throat” lower shell/shell tongue construction.
Bio-Stride Tongue (2 Piece/articulating) – soft flex
Dynalink is an independently functioning heel/instep closure band assembly that secures the skiers foot in the middle and rearfoot sections of the ski boot. The closure system prevents the lower shell from bulging and distorting when the boot is flexed forward. Because the skier’s foot is held more securely, high speed stability and control over the skis on irregular and difficult terrain is improved.
