22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A well-built all-mountain boot that doesn't let you down anywhere. It's a touch stiffer than average, which helps at speed and on edge, but it still rolls along fine when you're taking it easy.
The one catch is that the outsole is longer than average, so if boot drag worries you, look elsewhere. Average width, and it tends to loosen slightly after heat moulding.
