#flex

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.
