What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These boots gave me the exact balance I was hoping for-enough stiffness for edge control on uneven snow, but still comfortable for long days on backcountry tracks. They pair perfectly with the BC 85s and give me the confidence to veer off the groomed stuff when I want to explore."When we want to venture beyond the track and find solitude in the snowy woods, we grab the Rossignol XP 5 Ski Boots. Designed for off-track touring, these boots blend supportive structure with all-day comfort, so we can keep pushing through rolling terrain or deeper, untouched powder. Rossignol built the XP 5 with Xplore sole compatibility, giving us the freedom to pair it with modern backcountry setups like the BC 85 ski and head deeper into the trees. The high cuff wraps securely with a hook-and-loop strap for added ankle support, while the traditional lacing gives us the fine-tuned fit we want for technical control. We appreciate the roomy toe box and stable base when navigating tricky descents or sidehill traverses. Whether we're exploring forest loops or connecting remote ridgelines, the XP 5 helps us stay comfortable and confident.
