Alpine Touring Boots

Whether you're heading into the backcountry or just looking for an aggressive-yet-comfortable resort option, the K2 Mindbender 120 LV Ski Boot is built to deliver. Its downhill stats are impressive, with a Powerlite TPU Shell and a fully heat moldable Precisionfit Pro Tour Liner locking you in place for efficient control. But when it's time to change pace, whether that's skinning uphill or heading out for après, simply flip open the Powerlock Spyne to give yourself 50° of articulation around a Friction Free Cuff Pivot. That means whether you're using the tech inserts to earn your turns, or the GripWalk outsole to safely navigate the lodge, you'll be able to keep your boots on longer so you can spend more time having fun.

The new Maestrale RS is the perfect blend of performance and backcountry functionality. The RS utilizes a bi-injection carbon-infused Grilamid® shell to add power and rigidity without adding weight. The Evo V Frame cuff, which now utilizes Grilamid Bio - a planet friendly, renewable resource - also increases torsional rigidity while also providing a 60-degree range of motion for long efficient strides. The HRS strap keeps your heel planted where it should be to increase performance and comfort on the way up and down while the lower Wave Closure system provides the same security as a 2-buckle system at a fraction of the weight. The glove-friendly Finger Strap features RECCO® Technology for increased avalanche searchability. The Maestrale RS is for experienced backcountry skiers looking for uncompromising performance.

• Bi-injection shell using Grilamid® and Carbon Grilamid® LFT for high torsional rigidity
• Planet-friendly Grilamid® Bio Evo V-Frame Cuff
• Speedlock XT Ski/Walk mechanism is friction free and rock solid
• HRS Strap keeps your heel locked into place
• Intuition® liner is thermoformable and guarantees a warm, precise, comfortable fit.

 Fischer Transalp Tour Women's touring boot. This is a great example of a lightweight touring boot (1280g) that still holds up the downhill. 

Fischer incorporates a two-buckle design to help you transition with ease while reducing weight and increasing your range of motion. It moves like a beefed-up hiking boot. The shell and cuff are comprised of Pebax® Rnew® technology while the compact 3D liner is built for an optimized fit. You are going to notice the difference right out of the box. The new heel and ankle shape does a great job with heel retention and supporting a wide range of ankle shapes. The Women's Transalp Tour from Fischer would make a great one-boot quiver for an aggressive skier looking for a very capable boot. Pair these with a hard-charging sub 100mm ski and you have a match made in heaven.
