A ski boot for both all mountain skiing and freeride touring. This ready-to-hike boot is the next evolution – the legendary feel, skiing power and all mountain capability of Hawx with the touring ability of the Backland. Designed for people with medium feet, it brings you Prolite construction for more strength with less weight, and a Mimic Platinum Liner – a highly customizable liner that molds to the shape of your foot, with a Touring Flex Zone for uphill. The word “Tech” in the name means it has tech inserts for the uphill – along with Frictionless Pivot and Free/Lock 4.0 ski-to-walk mechanism for epic natural movement. The GripWalk soles offer more walking comfort without losing performance while skiing. This is a real one-boot quiver.
FEATURES & SPECS:
- Last: 100 mm – Designed for average width feet with average and slightly taller insteps.
- Memory Fit
- Adaptive Fit Cuff System
- Flex: 130 – A very stiff flex for maximum power and response, suitable for very fast and aggressive skiers.
- Mimic Platinum Liner with Touring Flex Zone – This is a boot that feels right from the very start. The heel, ankle, and tongue feature a layer of supportive, heat-moldable material. After being softened in the oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot and hardens for a perfect custom fit.
- Shell Materials
- Prolite – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed - like the Energy Backbone down each boot spine.
