Successor to the Diablo, the Tecnica Dragon carries forward a tradition started with the Tecnus Comp.

Along with a new look accentuating the 3D molding technology-the Dragon significantly differs from the Diablo….

Any shell can be customized but the Falcon CS Pro incorporates Kaprolene, a patented thermally responsive plastic in both sides of the forefoot that uses lower temperatures than normal to heat the shell plastic…

There may seem to be no news here but the application and placement of the materials significantly affects the feel and efficiency of boots that feature Sensor 3 technology…

They get stronger and better-stronger products, better range of fits. Their lineup encompasses a wide range of skier and foot types and their boots hit the target every time. Nordica entered the abducted boot fray with the super high end Aggressor series…

Aside from cosmetics the high end shells have been redesigned and the liners improved. Lange has not entirely succumbed to the abducted shell movement-what they have done is move the foot-part of the shell laterally or outward-placing the feet more over the inside edge of the ski, their description…

The Edge + 11 and its ladies counterpart, the Edge + 10 L, are unchanged. Both are wide at 104mm across the forefoot and high volume. The spaciousness is coupled with fair proximity to the mid-foot and good heel retention…

Though not much of a presence at the launch of abducted boots as a viable idea-they‘re somewhat of an upstart as boot makers-they‘ve set a high standard. Soma-tec is the name given their abducted stance. All Fischer boots are set up this way. Soma-tec is distinct from other abducted shells because they not only position the forefoot more outward, they also move the heel inward over the inside edge of the ski…

Though not truly the case, this perception has helped put the Krypton on the map. Regardless of the semantics, the Krypton series has given Flexon aficionados a more than acceptable substitute and for those who did not have the past pleasure, they will benefit from the attributes of the refined version…

The introduction of the Hawx line, with the patented I-Flex which allows both the boot soles and the forefoot of the shell to flex, was quite successful in both men’s and women’s models. Since the inception of the Beta series Atomic shells are very anatomically shaped…like they belong on human feet; enlarged toe box, perpendicular medial wall and a well defined heel pocket…
