The Scott Cosmos is a nice all around touring boot that dominates in all facets of the backcountry. The boot has a 3 buckle construction with a hybrid cabrio, providing a unique flex pattern great for leaning into the front of the boot when railing those deep powder turns in a back bowl. The lightweight construction and comfy liner provides the ability to be out in the backcountry all day long. The cosmos is a tried and true backcountry model and Scott has done nothing but improve it with this newest iteration.
