Ranger Pro 130 GW Dyn

four lightweight buckles designed with versatility in mind

Intro

The ranger family has expanded considerably: The Pro 130 remains the top of the mid-volume range, now also available in the One 130 version with a bigger last. A lightweight four-buckle boot that doesn't promise the earth in terms of performance, instead focusing on versatility, with inserts for tech bindings. Suitable for slackcountry escapades on skis that aren't too fat or stiff, the alpine-inspired shape translates into good lateral precision.
