 Poster: A snowHead
|
OK so the time has come that I probably need to replace my boots. Currently they are gen 1 Atomic Hawx, 100mm last width.
A bit of a walk feature should make the ridge hiking and uphill slogs less of a chore so at this stage, I'm considering (alphabetically) Atomic Prime XTD, Lange XT, Technica Cochise.
Any thoughts?

Do you have access to a decent Bootfitter? If so, they will be best placed to put you in something suitable - as they have direct access to your feet.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Old Fartbag, yep, I've tried all three on for general fit, and they all seem to work, but would need fitting. I'm more thinking about how well they ski and perform, any niggles etc?

@Bob, i currently ski in the prime XTD, skis great, walk functionality is as good as on any of that type of boot... the lange is a little heavier, they describe it as a skiers boot that you can hike in, the new cochise is the only one of the three i haven't skied as it wasn't available in my size at the test in january, but speaking to those who did they report it as "very similar" in performance to the others
so i wouldn't be too worried whatever one you ended up in
