New for the '14-'15 season we are proud to introduce The Vanguard, the ultimate backcountry tool.  When you are in the backcountry you need to be able to trust your gear.  By utilizing the new sustainably sourced, ultra light Ochroma Core into our bombproof construction, The Vanguard keeps Icelantic's signature durability at a fraction of the weight.  With an early rise tip, flat tail, 7mm of camber and a 107mm platform underfoot, The Vanguard is the ultimate backountry touring machine, allowing you to have just as much fun going up the mountain as you do coming down.
