The Scarpa Drago and new Instinct VSR now added to the range at the BB shop

New stuff alert!

We're recently added two new climbing shoes to the in-store range at the BB climbing shop. These are the Scarpa Instinct VSR and the Scarpa Drago.

The Instinct VSR is essentially the same as the orange Instinct VS which we've stocked for a while, but which replaces the XS Edge rubber found on the orange version with the stickier XS Grip 2 compound. This makes it slightly softer and stickier, perfect for high performance indoors and on smeary sandstone / gritstone style outdoor problems. Scarpa athletes requested this change in rubber, and now it's available for us to enjoy too.

The Drago is an ultra-sensitive, ultra-soft shoe which is designed to help you push your bouldering to the limits. It uses the iconic Instinct VS heel design with a single lock down strap, excellent rubber coverage over the forefoot and a "power connection band" to reinforce support when it's needed. It's Scarpa designer Heinz Mariacher's new "best shoe I ever developed" and is hand crafted in Italy.

Both shoes go on sale at £124.99. Don't forget that if you're a BB Unlimited climbing member, you can claim a 10% discount off these and other items in the BB shop.
