What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These are the boots I grab when I'm heading out for a full day of mixed skiing-resort powder laps in the morning and a quick backcountry tour in the afternoon. The walk mode is smooth and efficient, but when it's locked in for the downhill, the 130 flex delivers a no-compromise feel."When it's not enough to ski just one side of the mountain, we bring out the Tecnica Cochise 130 Ski Boots. These boots are born from a decade of hybrid design, combining alpine confidence with touring efficiency to handle whatever our day throws at us. Whether we're loading trams, dropping chutes, or setting our own skintrack, the Cochise 130 gives us elite-level downhill power in a platform that's just as ready to go up. A true 130 flex keeps us in command through aggressive terrain, while the 99mm last and C. A. S. shell ensure a responsive, bootfitter-friendly fit. A full eco-designed liner with adjustable tongue enhances warmth, rebound, and fit precision, and the GripWalk soles add traction and versatility. The T-Ride walk mechanism delivers a frictionless 55deg of range so we can conserve energy on the uphill and then lock things down for a confidence-inspiring descent.
