The heart of Lange's all-new XT3, ACTIVE POWER V-LOCK is our patented new multi-performance freetouring technology. Designed to get you up with ease, but powered for the down, ACTIVE POWER V-LOCK delivers an 11° increase in forward ROM in HIKE mode, making long skin strides and hikes more efficient and less fatiguing. But lock it down for the descent with a SKI mode that offers the rock-solid connection of a traditional ski boot and you'll instantly feel the power, precision, and control you've been looking for when it's all about the down.

Lange's FRICTION FREE HINGE delivers a critical free-touring solution: ROM efficiency. More efficient range-of-motion (ROM) provides the freedom for fluid, natural movements on the ascent, providing more flow for a more effortless, less fatiguing skinning and hiking stride.

Lange's new ultra-lightweight PERFORMANCE BOOT BOARD utilizes pressurized polypropylene to deliver a new level of skiing performance and warmth. A superior insulator with exceptional shock absorption properties, the new freeride platform delivers amplified touch and snow feel while keeping your toes toasty warm so you can perform at your best all day long.
