DESCRIPTION
The unique Grilamid material with carbon fiber offers great rigidity at a progressive flex of 130. The Tigard 130 is the perfect companion to find top power transfer and superior downhill performance to the ski. For powder fun at its best. For those who prefer less flex, the Tigard 110 boot is spot on: The unique Grilamid material with fiberglass offers great rigidity at a progressive flex of 110.

Hoji lock on a 4 buckle boot is sweet (if the boot is good).
Unfortunately no.Quote:

How does the cuff lock to the lower?
Hoji lock. Safe to assume it’s the same as the radical proQuote:

I spent too much time trying to explain the same thing on the Lupo air. If the walkmode or bump stops locks out forward motion, the tongues don’t do much at all but keep snow out.
Just looked through the 2024 catalog. I guess I’ll either have to get a radical next or hoard a pair of hojis. That Mazzamma binding looks pretty wild for a super light offering. And the black light looks interesting too.

I’m an uneducated idiot. Makes sense, thanks guys.
Does Grilamid ski well? I’m really looking for a resort boot that just happens to have pins for side country (think short laps on a Cast setup) but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of offerings in my desired wide last.
Edit: any word on forward lean?
watch the video, it actually shows it pretty well.Quote:

Anyone know if these will have a high volume fit (closer to the Radical Pro) or more of a medium/low volume fit (closer to the Hoji free)?
Just looked at these today. I’m not sure about the fit. No one liked it. Very very high instep. Disproportionately tight mid foot. Not tight in the ankle. Strange. Great walk mode and nice flex though. Attachment 443095
Can dynafit just like buy a set of langs or atomics and just fucking copy the last? What the fuck
So Dynafit aren’t going to make a single boot that fits my LV ankle and low instep. Bummer. So many fun adventures in my Titans, Titan ULs, Mercuries, and Hoji Frees, but what next? From a company that was once at the cutting edge of all aspects of ski touring, so many poor decisions, to the point where there’s not one category (bindings, skis, clothing, and now boots) where I’d choose their products. Perhaps if I was a fashion conscious on-piste ski tourer or a trail prancer?Quote:

Anyone ski these yet?
Golden’s account of the fit still sounds awful
Imna get them in August. Will report. Hopefully fits fine for me. Been in hojis.
Depending on if you wana count the Hoji pro that was 2 or 3 shitty big boots in a row between Vulcan and the Hoji free, Dynafit almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on that fiasco, quite amazing reallyQuote:

Tigards in hand. Seem fine. I'll prob ski the liner for a while, my pro tours are shorter.
W the overlap, 4 buckles, me adding a large alpine Velcro strap, should be all I need for an inbounds boot.

fooled around w these today, the intuition pro tour is a markedly better liner, and seems to fit fine. slightly less tall than stock, but whatev.
put the boot on quickly, seems noticeably more stiff than the hoji's. all in all, should be a performance upgrade for sure.
Just got my pair. They look great and are shockingly light.
Amazingly high instep for us folks that struggle with this . The instep is also well placed. Decently wide forefoot. This liner is THICK. I imagine it will pack out considerably.
I am having a bit of heel slip so trying to decide if I want to go down a full size and then do more boot work or stick with my regular and look at some heel specific options.
Couple groomer laps for the maiden voyage of the Tigard yesterday. Been on the hoji free 130 as my lift skiing boot. The Tigard is way more substantial. Immediately noticable.
Couple more mornings on semi uninspired groomers. The Tigard rocks. Way better than hoji.
Took the skis out for a walk for the first day this year, as the Rockies have no snow right now.
The boot goes up well. Heel pocket feels big, may need to take up some slop with a wedge.
Holy stiff on the way down.
Three days in mine. Fit seems really subjective, I have had buddies who can slide right into my alpine boots (atomic hawx 130) no problem practically tear them off once they get them on ( just like I did with their Hoji's) and some who ski in boots I could never get in like them. I'm 11.5 street shoe, avg width, pronate like crazy, have a morton's toe, large sixth toe and multiple ankle spurs, so wide and flat up front with a pretty narrow heel and thin calf in general. Generally I jam into a 27.5 x 98-99mm and spend quite a bit of time punching for toe length, the assorted spurs and throw in intuition wraps. Ski wise I am out the gates at Jackson most days, more hike than skin but do some touring as well.
Day one: throw in formed intuitions from my Hawx, length and sixth toe are good, significant pressure/pain from my lower leg just above the ankle. The boot was really stiff with the Wrap liner...I have been skiing Girlamid for about 7 years now and like the way it skis...no exception here. Way stiffer than any cross over boot that I have been in and I have tried every one on looking for the holy grail one boot quiver. That liner is pretty thick above the ankle the way it's molded contributing to my pain I suspect.
Day two: heat fit a Hawx liner and throw that in the mix. that liner is a bit too low in volume in general to fill the shell but still pretty decent. Still having lower leg pain from one leg where I took a puck years back.... it's calcified and larger above the ankle there.
Day three: heat fit shells with the Hawx liner and add a boot board under the liner..almost there but the liner is just not quite filling the shell...bottoming out the cuff buckles. Leg pain has disappeared with the heat fit.
Day four: heat fit the stock liner which is puffier than a new couch pillow. Add the boot board under the liner after fitting. The fit is good all around without any punching...feels luxurious compared to my normal setup with the Intuition liner. I don't think this will last long term as I like a really tight performance fit and any packing will likely be too much but today I skied with zero pain and pushed it hard.
Performance on current rock hard Jackson bumps and ice rink groomers is really impressive...by far the best of the hybrids that I have skied. At this point I'm sure I have a winner and with a fresh intuition wrap I can easily see them as a do it all inbound/backcountry setup. See ya Alpine boots I think, one and done.
I like em, am thrilled with the performance level and love the Hoji lock setup.
Agreed, very very stiff. I am a 10.5 street shoe, but also in a 27.5 as I have a very high instep and above avg width.Quote:

Tried a Intuition Pro Tour (without molding) and wasn't convinced it was going to change anything, but may reconsider it.
I am also dealing with some pain at the back of the calf where it sits on the shell. Debating some cutting with my boot fitter, but not sure I want to go that route yet.
Molding intuitions right now, will update tomorrow
Still happy w mine. Have pro tours in them. I have big feet all around so the boot is good for me.
Edit: pro tongue
Intuition wraps in place. I have not jumped back and forth from my alpine boots but feel pretty confident saying the flex will be close. Of the opinion that they ski really well, happy with the final product for sure.
I just broke my Cochise 130. I hit a rock and flexed the boot until the rear cuff exploded. Tigard gonna be a good replacement? I
Since I can’t buy two pairs, I gotta have a 50-50 boot. I will always choose suffer going up over resort performance
Have a 26.5 Tigard 130 in the gear room that I skied maybe 5 days before deciding it wasn't the fit I wanted. Will get a FS post up soon. PM if interested, would let go for 500 shipped.
edit: gone
