The Scarpa T2 is a more supportive boot than lighter crossover plastics. It has the stiffness and lateral support to drive most skis with confidence. That means the boot is not the limiting factor in this system, and we can approach ski and binding selection from a very practical angle.
The Scarpa T4 sits in a very specific place in the telemark world. Pair it with the right binding and ski, and you get an efficient, versatile system that covers ground and still delivers confident telemark turns. Pair it wrong, and the system could feel mismatched.

Two high-performance NTN telemark boots, separated by just 13 grams — but the difference in feel matters. Telemark boot choice is not just about weight. It is about how the boot flexes, how it drives the ski, how it matches your binding setup, and where you spend most of your time skiing. The Scarpa TX Pro and Scarpa TX Comp …
