SCARPA introduces lightweight backcountry hunt/field boots for Fall 2025, Spring 2026
The R-Evolution, Rebel boots are crafted with deep experience in mountain footwear, input from backcountry hunters and guides.
BOULDER, Colo. (Sept. 30, 2025) — SCARPA, manufacturer of high-performance mountain footwear, unveils a new collection of lightweight mountain boots this fall built for backcountry hunters and other rugged-country users like trail and forestry workers who need light, reliable, supportive footwear for field use.
The boots are a culmination of SCARPA’s nearly century of experience in crafting category leading mountain footwear, combined with specific input from the backcountry hunting community, making this category a natural extension for the brand. The new program also builds on a line of footwear created in collaboration with the hunting brand Kuiu in past years.
New for Fall 2025, the R-Evolution 8 HD is a light and agile backcountry field boot that balances flexibility and nimbleness with protection and support. Developed in collaboration with expert hunters and guides, the R-Evolution 8 HD is one of the lightest boots on the market in its category, built to support long days and extensive miles in the backcountry.
Its upper is synthetic PU leather paired with lightweight, abrasion-resistant Microtech fabric and backed with an HDry membrane, providing durability in a 685-gram package and keeping weather at bay in the field. A full-perimeter rubber rand provides 360-degree protection on the 8-inch-height upper. Vibram’s Total Traction/Mont sole completes the R-Evolution 8’s premium materials. The R-Evolution 8 HD retails for $299.
In Spring 2026, SCARPA will build on this program with three additional backcountry hunt and field boots, the Rebel 8 HD, the Rebel 10 HD and the Mont Blanc GTX.
The Rebel 10 and 8 HD offer even more supportive alternatives to the R-Evolution 8 — the ultimate footwear for long days tackling off-trail mountainous terrain. They pair lightweight materials with rugged supportive construction, resulting in boots among the very lightest on the market that provide the requisite support, protection and traction needed to move through rugged terrain.
Building on a collection of footwear SCARPA originally designed in collaboration with hunting retailer Kuiu, which quickly gained a cult following amongst backcountry hunters, the Rebel boots are light and agile, thanks to their synthetic PU leather and PU Tek uppers, which are supportive, breathable and dry quickly. Paired with an HDry waterproof membrane and a full-perimeter rubber and PU rand, the Rebel boots provide 360-degree protection.
The Rebel 10 is a 10-inch tall boot with Primaloft Gold Eco insulation. The Rebel 8 is its uninsulated 8-inch tall sibling. Both boots feature an ankle flex zone, a dual-density durable polyurethane midsole, and Vibram’s Total Traction/Mont sole. For precision, support and secure footing in uneven mountainous terrain, these lightweight boots are the leaders in their class at 785 and 730 grams respectively (size 42).
SCARPA is also introducing a field-oriented sibling in Spring 2026 as part of its well-known Mont Blanc family, the new Mont Blanc GTX, which offers exceptional stability on uneven terrain and robust protection against rocks and debris.
Built with a combination of premium Italian 3mm Perwanger Suede leather and synthetic S-Tech Fabric, the Mont Blanc GTX features a supportive 9–inch tall cuff, a thermomolded ankle collar, a full-perimeter rubber rand and an, integrated GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. A double tongue has a removable insert allowing for easy volume adjustment. The midsole is an ultra-durable, cushioned construction built with a combination of polyurethane and TPU, paired with a Vibram Essential AC/Mont sole. Recessed high-tenacity stitching pairs with these premium materials for long-term durability.
