Cochise 130 Pro Ski Boot

There's a lot of gnar out there that needs to be slayed, so quit wasting time and strap into the Tecnica Cochise 130 Pro Men's Ski Boot. It's the burliest boot in Tecnica's freeride touring line and is designed to shred everything from groomers to powder to steep lines to day-old chop with power, precision, and a supreme fit. Indeed, the lower shell has been redesigned with a more anatomical heel pocket for increased hold, a more comfortable asymmetrical toe box, and a lower-volume 99mm last for a snug, precise fit helps eliminate slop on the up and down. The new Cochise also has eight degrees more cuff rotation than its predecessor, making the trip up easier than ever—just flip the switch on the Mobility Cuff and steam up the skintrack like a man on a mission.

With a 130 flex, though, no one's confusing the Cochise for a light and fast rando boot. It makes its money on the downhills, with powerful performance that shares DNA with Tecnica's famously burly race boots. The new C.A.S. shell styles a unique dimpling structure that makes heating and punching more effective for boot fitters. Pair that with Technica's new, thermo-moldable C.A.S. liner made of customizable microcell material, and you're in for a completely comfortable fit. The last has been slimmed down to 99mm for a high-performance fit, and the burly aluminum buckles lock the shell down around your foot for high-powered retention when you're opening things up down big in- and out-of-bounds faces.
