Dynafit Tigard

Yes, with a progressive 130 flex, this boot is designed to handle high-speed turns and challenging terrain. It offers the power and stability typically found in dedicated alpine boots, making it a strong choice for resort days.

The Hoji Lock system integrates the cuff and shell into a single unit with one flip of a lever. This allows you to switch between walk and ski modes instantly without needing to adjust buckles separately, which is a significant advantage when transitioning in cold or exposed conditions.

The Tigard features a 101mm last, which is considered a medium-to-wide fit. It offers a bit more volume than traditional race-fit boots, making it comfortable for skiers who usually find standard 98mm or 100mm boots too restrictive.

They feature GripWalk soles, which are compatible with most modern alpine and touring bindings. However, you should always check your specific binding's compatibility with GripWalk soles before heading out to ensure a safe release.

Absolutely. A 70-degree range of motion provides a very natural stride, reducing fatigue during long ascents. It allows for a full, unrestricted range of movement that makes climbing feel much less like a chore compared to stiffer, more limited touring boots.

At 1550g, the Tigard sits in a sweet spot between lightweight skimo boots and heavy alpine boots. It is light enough for efficient backcountry touring but substantial enough to provide the dampening and support needed for aggressive downhill skiing.
