Tecnica Cochise HV

HV stands for High Volume. This version is specifically built with a 102mm last width, making it the ideal choice for skiers with wider feet or those who simply prefer a more spacious, comfortable fit without sacrificing performance.

Yes, with a 130 flex rating, this is the stiffest boot in the Cochise family. It is designed for advanced to expert skiers who need maximum power transmission and stability when charging hard through steep terrain or high-speed resort laps.

The Cochise HV prioritizes downhill performance first. While it features a reliable walk mode for short boot-packs or navigating parking lots, it is significantly heavier and stiffer than a dedicated lightweight touring boot, so it is best suited for resort-based skiing with occasional side-country access.

The boot uses a polypropylene cuff specifically chosen to maintain a consistent flex profile. You won't experience the dramatic stiffening often found in other plastic boots when the mercury drops.

Absolutely. The Custom Adaptive Shape (C.A.S.) liner is designed to be heat-molded and punched by a professional boot fitter. This allows you to address specific pressure points and achieve a precise, personalized fit.

These boots come with Vibram Gripwalk soles, which provide excellent traction for walking. They are compatible with Gripwalk-certified bindings and most modern touring bindings, but they will not fit standard ISO 5355 alpine bindings.
