The Panterra Collection provides loads of customizable comfort across all-mountain boot flexes. Comfort and performance have never been so refined in these legendary boots than this year’s models. Once of our favorites:
Of all our sophisticated all-round boots, this is the model with less flex for sporty skiers who value perfect power transmission as well as the capacity for individual adjustment.
Dalbello Designed:
The integrated Powercage and milled outer shell produce optimum power distribution across the entire boot and reduce weight without compromising stability.
A variable sole angle with a canting system under the foot and adjustable cuff volume provide additional ways of adapting the boot to your personal preference.
The tongue fits even better into the shell, improves the boot’s ergonomics and provides more rebound and very supportive flex. The cabrio design boasts a three-part structure with even flex and harmonious damping as well as support at the sides and rear.
Getting into and out of the boot is now easier than ever. IF liners with neoprene caps provide more space and greater comfort. With GripWalk soles, hike mode with a ski/hike motion radius of 51° and MyFit technology for separately adjustable liners and outer shells, the boot has everything you need to make it as comfortable as possible. The 3D Grip texture also makes the Panterra extremely robust.
There are so many names: gaiter, neck-up, neck-tube. And, what about that thing people wear over their head and face? At Shepherd and Schaller we call it a Balaclava, or Clava. And we recommend them for bitter cold and hot sun.

Our year-round favorite: Merino Wool. The perfect fabric for cold, bitter cold and even sunny, hot weather. Shop all these and more in Downtown Wausau at Shep’s.
Merino Wool Greatest Hits:
It’s Odor resistant-Antimicrobial properties of merino wool means it kills bacteria . So, wear it repeatedly before washing. No matter how hot it is, you’ll feel fresh all day long. Your merino wool T-shirt or shirt will not smell – like cotton shirts do. On top of that, you don’t need to wash it each time you’ve worn it. Just hang it in the open air and enjoy it again the next day.
Merino Wool is Quick drying- a surprisingly fine fabric, that releases water easily. It’s dry long before your other garments are. Just put it in the machine, dry flat or place it on a hanger and wear it again in no time!
Merino Wool is Wrinkle resistant- The elastic properties of the merino fiber make it extremely wrinkle resistant. If you hang your garment to dry, ironing becomes optional. And when you’re travelling with a packed suitcase, just get out your merino wool clothes, hang them for half an hour and you’re all good. No annoying wrinkle damage from seatbelts or backpacks any more. It’s the ultimate on-the-go companion.
Merino Wool is Washable-The naturally protective outer layer of your merino wool shirt or T-shirt will prevent stains from being absorbed. However, when your favorite item is dirty, just wash it on low temperature. Not sure how to start? Check the care label inside your garment!
Merino Doesn’t itch-
Superfine merino wool fibers are only 17 microns thick, compared to a human hair which is between 60 and 180 microns in thickness causing them to be more flexible and less coarse against the skin. They also don’t fray as much as other fibers (thanks to their flexibility).
Merino is Durable-Merino wool is 6 times stronger than cotton. Each fiber can be bent back onto itself over 20.000 times. In comparison: cotton breaks after 3.200 times.
Merino UV resistant-The natural UV barrier of the fabric keeps you safe from damaging UV radiation from the sun – unlike synthetics and cotton. Sheep don’t get sunburn, right? Hello, worry-free summer times!
