Key Features
Hoji Lock Walk Mode: A single rear lever separates the cuff and shell for touring, unlocking 70° of resistance-free cuff rotation, then re-engages the same cable system to pretension the boot back into a locked ski mode. No re-buckling required at the transition, which matters when you're losing daylight on a long tour.
Overlap Construction: Instead of the traditional three piece construction found throughout the Dynafit line, the Tigard utilizes an overlap, four buckle design that trades a small amount of extra weight for much higher downhill performance. This allows the foot to be better enveloped and firmly held, giving maximum control when you're bombing down the resort, or when you're methodically descending a no fall line.
Grilamid Construction: Shell, cuff, and spoiler are all Grilamid (with glass fibres) rather than traditional polyurethane (PU), which is how the boot holds a stiff 110 flex at roughly 1,600g per boot. Grilamid also handles cold better than PU — it won't stiffen up the way a resort boot does at -20°C on a Rockies approach.
GripWalk Soles: Industry standard GripWalk soles provide excellent traction anywhere you take your boots, from glaciers to parking lots and everywhere in between, while still allowing enhanced compatibility with most downhill bindings.
