I am building a strategic reserve until zipfit releases their touring liner.
    Maybe buy these?

    I just wanted to jump back in this thread over a decade later and say how amazing I thought this boot was and still is.

    With the tongue and bumpstops removed (and a Pro Tour liner), they walk pretty dang well. The rearward ROM is noticeably better than the Radical Pro. To the point where I'm fine on my first riser and don't even bother with a flat mode unless it's a LONG flat skin.

    With the tongue in and booster strap, they ski pretty dang well. Yeahhh, transitions are a bit slow with the tongue fiddle and yeahhh they're a bit of a brick wall, but they're stiff and supportive and just really ski well (IMHO).

    I haven't weighed mine, but I'm 95% sure my size 26 with Intuitions comes in under 1500g.

    For a boot that is over ten years old, Dynafit absolutely crushed it.

    Thanks for all the info. I have a pretty hard limit on how much I am going to invest in this insanity. If I can get SeatownSlackey's boots up to Squamish it would be awesome.

    If you have someone in Vancouver I could leave them with it might be possible for me to get them from Slackey to Vancouver on Thursday. If not, I'll be back later in December staying near UBC and could take them up then.
