Abstract

See full text

Ski boots and other cold weather articles are described made from polymer compositions that are exceptionally stable at low temperatures. The polymer composition, for instance, may contain a thermoplastic polymer, a thermoplastic elastomer, and an impact modifier. In one embodiment, each of the individual components are selected such that they do not undergo a second order transition within a temperature range of from about 50° C. to about −40° C., and particularly from about 23° C. to about −40° C. In one embodiment, the polymer compositions are used to mold the outer shell of a snow ski boot.
