Any chance for a spring drop?Quote:

Super nice they have that with the easy to punch golfball style areas as well for home fitting
Why did they put the lower buckle in a position to get hit by everything? That is going to get destroyed and opened all the time
So all these boots have pretty much converged into the same thing?

Oh good point, it's on the outside. That is gonna get wrecked.Quote:

Is that a spring-loaded latch on the bottom of the mode lever, like on the ZeroG Tour? That's a nice touch, wish the F1-LT lever had one. The clog appears to be taller than the F1 clog, so probably more lateral support. Doesn't have the cuff ribs like the F1-LT or the "Lamda frame" design on the clog to tie the high-load points at the heel and toe fittings to the cuff pivot, but no doubt Tecnica has been testing this shell for a couple years (so they must not be cracking at the heel and toe).
Definitely looking forward to a shoot-out between the Peak Carbon and the F1-XT.
And the new one from Salomon + Skorpius + Transalp Pro +....... Good time to be alive in the touring boot worldQuote:

Won’t be available until Fall.
DIN soles???
Ball bearing cuff pivot?
Looks like it has the dual lock bar mechanism of the ZeroG Tour to boost rigidity, though I have no idea how much difference that actually makes.
Mantra vwerks: are they changing next season?
No, I don't think so.Quote:

Honestly. Especially the not so über days in the 25-40cm (I don't ski in less than 25 [emoji6] ) range ski better on 122...if you have space....and don't have to carry them up.Quote:

So for 22/23 there will be a new Tecnica, Salomon, Scarpa, Dynafit and Atomic boot who are all in the same range regarding weight, flex and intended use? Anyone I missed?
Does anyone have weights on the Tecnica Peak Carbon yet?
So then,Quote:

Yes there is a full boot board… but that’s not what I was referring to exactly.Quote:

Maybe not. I was in a touring shop and the bootfitter mentioned that Atomic was coming out with a new boot in the all day touring category in addition to dynafit (TLT 10). I looked up the Atomic Catalog and they expanded the versions of the Backland. The Backland UL series uses the existed BOA closure system and the Backland Series has a new Crossalce closure system on the lower shell with a little added weight. No flex pattern ratings published.Quote:

Here is Dynafit's new light touring boot for 22/23. Same as the new tlt x/10 but with carbon cuff. Attachment 401765
Ding dong the speednose is dead
I'd probably rather have an actual speed nose than a front welt. If it's a not a full Alpine nose long enough to be compatible with shifts, then the only reason to have any extended welt is for full auto crampons? I guess I'm not the target market for this feature since I'm not climbing WI4 or 5 in my touring boots, but I'd rather buy into dynafits talk about touring pivot efficiency and have the pins moved farther back and use semi auto crampons.
Blue, blue boots sell. Or that’s what the atomic boot guy on Blister gear podcasts said.Quote:

Same clog and cuff as but the BOA version is now called UL Page 44 and there is a difference of cuff fastening and linerQuote:

-Backland (Buckle and cable version of Carbon, Pro, and Expert with power strap and ladder buckle on cuff, and burlier liner)
12 different backland boots all with the same last - i.e. no ultra/prime last width distinction!
Seems overkill but maybe they just sell a crap ton of them every year to justify that.
Ok where’s this Tuesday Wednesday business?Quote:
