Easy on and off, comfortable all day – With easy entry shell and fleece-lined inner shoe
The easy entry shell design and fleece-lined Perfect Fit S liner create a softer opening and warm fit around the foot and calf. Anatomical shaping prevents hot spots by matching the liner to the calf profile.
Faster booting and a cosier fit reduce fatigue and discomfort, so skiers can stay out longer without adjusting boots between runs.
Controlled progression and better rebound – Thanks to Flex 80 and DuoFlex technology
A flex rating of 80 gives a forgiving bend that is easier to manage for learners, while DuoFlex increases responsiveness by bringing the tongue and shell into direct contact for improved power transmission.
Turn initiation feels more predictable and forgiving, helping riders build technique while benefitting from improved rebound when edging out of turns.
Personalised stance and efficient power transfer – With smart frame, hi-top tech and adjustable elements
Smart frame and hi-top technologies, together with single canting and a foam wedge, allow fine tuning of stance and alignment. The PU/SL outer shell combines stiffness where needed with controlled flex zones.
A more direct connection between leg and ski delivers precise steering and the ability to dial in a comfortable, efficient fit for different riding styles.
