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 boot that handles speed and hard carving while keeping some forgiveness and slow-speed ability. Reviewers are especially positive about how well it absorbs impact and chatter from the snow.
It pairs with boards around 6–9/10 stiffness and suits aggressive intermediates and up. The calf Velcro on the liner accommodates a wide range of leg sizes.
