Many boots claim uphill prowess and downhill performance, but few deliver like the Dynafit Tigard 110 Boot . The uphill performance is made possible by the HOJI Lock Walk Mode that opens up 70deg range of motion for easy striding up variably steep skin tracks. Once we are staring over our tips at a steep line (our favorite view), we are filled with confidence knowing that we have a 110 flex, 4-buckle, 2-piece boot to drive our skis through north-facing pow or south-facing chunder.
