24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A medium-flex women's boot with no weak points. It's fine both in slow, tight turns and in carves, and it covers impact absorption and board feel together.
It suits all-mountain freestyle best and works as a park-only boot too. Unless you're on the heavier side, though, it isn't enough for really aggressive riding.
Pairs with boards 3–6/10 flex.
