Tecnica Zero G Decoy Pro AT Boot - 2027 Black, 29.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore these on a long tour that ended in a steep, aggressive descent and the polyurethane shell gave me a smoother, more progressive flex than I expected from a touring boot. The 65 degree range of motion never made me feel penalized on the way up.""Hybrid touring boots always ask for a compromise somewhere, but the Zero G Decoy Pro AT Boot compromises less than most. Built for advanced and expert skiers who tour far and ski aggressively, it closes the gap between a burly alpine boot and a lightweight touring setup. Climb long approaches, and the T-Hike walk mechanism delivers 65 degrees of cuff motion that keeps the uphill efficient without feeling like a concession. The polyurethane shell borrows from high end alpine and race boot construction for a smoother, more progressive flex on the descent, while the fiberglass reinforced Grilamid cuff keeps weight in check. A very stiff 130 flex delivers the response and support aggressive skiers demand, and the Ecodesign High Performance liner with floating tongue locks in fit through a full day of variable terrain. Four aluminum buckles and a performance elastic power lock strap round out a boot built to charge downhill after every climb."
