IMO this deserves its own thread. Here's the site https://www.blizzard-tecnica.com/global/en/zero-g-peak
Note the non-carbon version is lighter than the carbon version. Will post weights and pics of versions when I get the chance

Are you going to be able to demo them?
Seeing the campaign verbiage / slogan made me immediately think of this:

With that color scheme and look it really reminds me of the 1st gen Backland.
I think so as I'm a standard foot sizeQuote:

75 degrees ROM would be a nice upgrade for me.
Anybody understand the transition from tour to ski? Can't get a good look at it from the photos. Bottom buckles stay in "ski ready" position even while touring and then you just throw the top clasp when you want to ski?
Weight difference is likely due to the carbon having the cam power strap buckle vs just a Velcro strap.Quote:

Weight difference is due to the fact that the carbon for reinforcing the cuff is slightly heavier.
There are very few pairs in NA right now and they’re the last round of protos. More boots for testing/samples won’t be here until end of February.
Well consider me excited if this fits like the ZGTP.
Wasatch back - have you actually had the boots on? Obviously you might be biased ;) but, if you’ve had them on, do you think they are significantly stiffer than current boots in this class like the F1 LT etc?
What is the fit like?Quote:

BSL on the 26.5? AKA “Am I gonna have to remount my touring skis?”Quote:

Lame! Just another boot that stops at 30.5 sizing. Where are the 31/31.5???
Looks cool. Seems like lots of options next year for lightweight boots: Scarpa F1 XT, Dynafit TLT X, new Backland, these. My TLT6s will likely need replacement next year. Lots of good options to try next fall.
Not a big fan of the forefoot buckle placement on these, at least on first glance. Looks like it would be easy to snag and possibly bend or break when scrambling around or booting in punchy snow around rocks.

More is good. These lighter boots tend to be both harder to fit and more sensitive to fit. Hoping these are shaped like the Tour Pros. Looks like I could punch them where I'd likely need to punch them.Quote:

That's my favorite color.Quote:

I'll be getting a pair of the 26.5s to try out but not for a few weeks. Taking off to Revy and BC Interior to ski so won't have time to nerd out.
In the meantime keep firing questions. I'll stick some Intuition liners in them also as I always do
I’d curious what they ski/ flex in comparison to the Scarpa F1 Lt, Backland Carbon or other 1kg boot, if you’ve tried them on in the past, and what its limit is.

This looks like my next boot! I am a 26.5, but don't have any industry inside tracks. Some of y'all probably have a better guess on general availability timeline? Like ... soon enough to ski this year (probably not, unless I luck into some ex demo 26.5s or something)?
These won’t be available for purchase until next fall. The development cycle is a little behind on these due to covid challenges.
For Lee
Liner thoughts. I know you are going to put an intuition in them, but I hate to buy a new liner for a new boot.
BSL
Compare downhill and uphill performance to boots you know.
Height of cuff and spine relative to other boots
For me, the limiting factor for fit/performance/comfort in this class of boots is the getting enough even pressure through the instep for my low volume feet. From the video of the overlap closure on these, count me interested enough to try them on when I get an opportunity.Quote:

Same, exactly.Quote:

The Prototype Peak liners right now aren’t the finished liners. They too will be getting some of the CAS material (j bars basically) and I believe the density of the foam is changing as well to what the new ZGTP liners are but I’m not 100% sure on that.
I’ll post some pics of the new ZGTP liners when I get a chance.
Good news there and about time
Is the assumption that ZGTP is still going to be the more capable downhill ski boot?Quote:

I skier for a year in the zgtp, skied ok, but with the limited forward range of motion, it was somewhat hard to climb couloirs, especially if you got into some steep rock.
Left year i got the hoji free 130, the one with the normal toe.
150 g heavier, but my uphill speed was the same, probably because of the huge range of motion.
And they skied better, i could feel it immediately on ice, not as much lateral give as the zero gtp.
This was the first dynafit boot that i ever considered, and I'm glad i did.
Liners are still good after 60 days.
Only modification was adding voile straps over the liner, inside the shell.

And, as opposed to other non overlap boots, it has good progressive flex, but stiff

Yes, to me the quality of flex and dampening of the Hoji Free is indistinguishable from my alpine boots in most conditions. It’s really just limitations in fit that hold them back when it gets (firm, variable) challenging.Quote:
