In the Maestrale and Gea, Pebax Rnew, derived from the castor plant, “ requires 29 percent less fossil fuel and puts out 32 percent fewer emissions in the process taking Pebax Rnew from raw to usable material”, said Scarpa.In the 125-flex Maestrale and 120-flex Gea RS, Scarpa uses Grilamid Bio, derived from the castor bean plant, in its bi-injection carbon-infused shell and.3D Lambda Frame and Thor upper cuff improve power transfer to the boot without increasing forward stiffness from its 125-flex.3D Lambda Frame is found on the lower boot working with a Thor upper cuff, which uses a similar raised I-beam design to transfer power to the lower boot.Maestrale and Gea offer 3D Lambda Frame construction in the lower boot using an I-beam design to reduce flex at key stress points.Both the stiffer RS versions and the regular versions went through evolutions during the decade following, but the ethos remains the same - backcountry boots for downhill and touring. Since their introduction in 2010, the Maestrale and Gea have offered the precision of a downhill ski boot with the lightweight mobility of a backcountry boot.
