Intro
One quick glance is enough to tell you this is part of the new breed of touring boots—lightweight build for uphill efficiency, yet surprisingly solid on the downhill as well. A true crossover. This boot comes across as a more robust, downhill-oriented take on the TLT, notably featuring the Hoji Lock closure system — a hallmark of Dynafit’s freetouring range. Available in two versions: with 120 or 110 flex.
Walking
But once dialed in the boot shows its true colors. Once in touring mode, ankle mobility is comparable to a Light boot, with almost no resistance from the plastics. The 70° of cuff travel exceeds what you would need with skis of 90 mm or more underfoot, but still allows you to ascend fast. It lacks a toe welt, useful for kicking into hard snow and climbing rock. This means switching to crampons a little more often than normal, but on the plus side pin position is optimized.
Lab
Easy entry and exit, among the best out there, and a good fit, even if you have a high instep. The shell is closed using a rotor that acts on a tongue to precisely anchor the heel, while the cuff has a buckle plus a Velcro power strap that works in tandem with the ski-walk lever. Aligning the various plastic elements can prove awkward. Ditto for correctly setting up the Hoji system’s Velcro strap.
Skiing
The very straight cuff takes some getting used to and allows no adjustment. Turn initiation is very natural, but as you close turns you have to consciously work to stay forward. The shell-cuff system performs well, with great edge support and excellent rearward support. Despite the reduced weight and thin plastics, the flex is very stiff and not very progressive, but still fun with skis around 95 mm and in all snow conditions. Heel lock is excellent, but if you have narrow feet you may find it difficult to anchor the forefoot adequately.
