The Raptor 70 has been developed as a junior member of Head's very successful high-performance race-boot range. The shell is precise and responsive, though a lighter plastic makes it less tiring to use and more tolerant of little balance errors. The Junior Team liner is a perfect blend of performance and foot hold, and all 4 of the buckles are micro-adjustable to fine tune the fit. With 16o forward lean and a 4o ramp angle these have truly been built for the next generation of champions.Ability LevelOverviewFitMedium to high volume with good heel hold and and roomy toe area.Shell Superlight shell and cuff.

The RC4 The Curv One 110 will appeal to good intermediate and advanced skiers who are looking for a higher volume boot that doesn't sacrifice performance or hold back on custom fitting options. It uses Fischer's unique Vacuum moulding process that forms the shell to the skier's foot during the initial boot fit. This reduces pressure points and improves the foot hold at the same time; the comfort is enhanced further by the customisation of the heat moulded liner. It's also impressively light, thanks to clever engineering that alters the thickness of shell: making it thin where it needs to wrap, thicker where it supports.Ability LevelOverviewFitAverage around the heel and ankle with a slightly more generous feel on the forefoot and average instep height.Shell Vacuum HV shell, customisable.LinerRC4 The Curv One 110, customisable.Key FeaturesSomatecIn their natural, relaxed position, your feet form a V-shape. In this stance the knees remain parallel when flexed. Fischer took these anatomical facts into account when developing Soma-Tec. The feet remain relaxed in their natural V-position, so knee and ankle joints no longer have to be twisted inward and less strain is placed on the joints. At the same time, edge changes are made easier and energy is transmitted to the ski more accurately.VACUUMVacuum technology uses a unique process and a specially developed high-tech plastic to adapt the shell of the ski boot to the anatomy of any foot. Prior to fitting the plastic of the boots are heated and softened. With the liner inserted, the skier’s foot is placed inside. A special cooling pad is placed around the outside, followed by a compression bag linked to the Vacuum Fit station. The skier then stands on the station in a pre-determined position, this will ensure the boot cools down and shapes to the skier’s natural stance. Once in position, air is pumped into the compression bags, pushing them against the boot and improving the mould being taken of the foot. This procedure achieves a sporty, comfortable fit that is unrivalled in this segment. The heel and ankle area can be expanded or compressed to create best possible shape; the forefoot can be made roomier. Vacu-PlastThis unique material was developed exclusively for use with Fischer ski boots. Apart from its extraordinary moulding properties Vacu-Plast also has other special features: it is very temperature stable, meaning it isn’t adversely affected on extreme cold days when certain plastics become very stiff; it is lighter than other materials used on performance ski boots, and it has better vibration dampening.SpecificationCategory: AlpineFlex: 110Last Width: 101 (+/- 3mm)Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Velcro 35mmVolume: Medium-HighClips: 4 x GT Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Grip Walk (ISO 9523)Pin Inserts: NoHike Mode: NoWeight (g): 1980 (1/2 pair size 26.5)Binding Compatibility: GripWalk, Multi Norm [Full Details]
The new Pro Machine 100 retains a lot of the features of its stiffer counter parts, such as Tri Force construction which uses a mix of stiff plastics in the sole and spine of the boot to aid power transmission while softer plastics to comfortably wrap around the rest of the foot to boost comfort and retain excellent foot hold. Infrared fit technology is used to easily and quickly heat the shell to add shape when needed; the preformed Isotherm 3D PrimaLoft liner enhances the fit and feel further with its grippy heel and ankle pockets while the insulation provides extra warmth. This boot is something of a rarity as it sits in a category which is often overlooked by other brands, that of low-volume softer-flexing boots. These are perfect for intermediate, or light-weight advanced, skiers with narrow feet, meaning they can get the foot hold they need without having to resort stiffer models.Ability LevelOverviewFitA performance feel and generally snug. Grippy rear foot and medium to low both over the instep and across the width.Shell Infrared PU shell and cuff, mouldable. Lightweight and close fitting, but with space in all the right areas, the Promachine shell is a performance-skiers dream with precise energy transfer and a smooth flex. The Infrared Technology is a super-effective way to customise the fit precisely for the best possible shape.LinerIsotherm 3D PrimaLoft, mouldable. The 3D pre-shaping mimics the natural shape of ankle bones, improving both the comfort and the heel hold by evening out the pressure. PrimaLoft ensures extra comfort and warmth.Key FeaturesTri-Force ConstructionLightweight athletic equipment is fundamentally important, so Nordica have developed a shell specific to the challenges associated with a product this light. The Tri-Force Frame is a remarkable concept, using an anatomical shell design that channels energy through the body of the boot to the edges of your skis. A combination of harder plastics at the spine and chassis, and softer plastics around the foot and instep, allows nimble and precise movements while maintaining the highest level of comfort.Infrared TechnologyInfrared Technology is a super-effective way to customise the fit precisely for the best possible shape. The shell is slowly heated and then a vacuum system is used to gently reshape the plastic where any additional moulding is need to get the best match to a skier's feet.PrimaLoftPrimaLoft is an industry-leading waterproof, synthetic insulation.

This 100 flex Hawx is the softest offering in our range of Ultra models and has been through the same re-design to improve stability and agility. It ensures intermediates have the same great fit as experts, delivering ultimate foot hold and excellent levels of customisation from the Memory Fit shell and 3D Silver Liner. It also shares the energy Backbone from the stiffer versions to increase drive and responsiveness, but in a slightly softer format to suit lighter skiers or those who don't want to ski Mach 10 everywhere.Ability LevelOverviewFitSnug fit around the rear foot and medium over the instep, medium to narrow on the forefoot, round toe shape.Shell True Flex PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable. Updated for this season with stronger shell walls for even better power transfer and stability. The advanced heat fitting technology of Memory Fit creates a fully personalised shell and cuff in minutes. The key is Memolink, a special additive that improves the mouldability and stretch characteristics of the plastic. The boot shell is heated in an oven, then the skier's foot is placed inside the complete boot whilst it cools. With the foot's natural standing pressure, the forefoot of the boot can expand up to 3mm per side and the ankle area up to 5mm per side. True Flex is an exclusive Atomic shell material that means your flex and feel remains constant in a variety of temperatures. So, the boot you buy in store feels the same on the mountain, you don't lose horsepower in the spring and you don't have a boot that you can't flex in mid-winter.Liner3D Silver, mouldable. Thermoformable material is used in the heel and ankle areas. The liner is heated in an oven and is cooled to form to the shape of the skier's feet. 3D means pre-shaped heel and ankles areas for better foot hold and comfort.Key FeaturesProliteProlite is a way of building skis and boots that turns traditional thinking on its head. Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then it builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed.Power ShiftPower Shift allows the forward lean to be adjusted to 13o, 15o or 17o simply by moving the power control up and down. You can also alter the flex index by +/- 10 flex points by adding or removing a screw. Creates a completely personalised set-up.energy BackboneThe energy Backbone is a reinforced, asymmetric backbone that provides extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.SpecificationCategory: AlpineFlex: 100Last Width: 98-102Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Velcro 40mmVolume: Medium-LowClips: 4 x 6000-Series Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Alpine (Adult ISO 5355)Pin Inserts: NoHike Mode: NoWeight (g): 1805 (1/2 pair size 26.0)Binding Compatibility: Alpine, GripWalk, WTR, Multi Norm [Full Details]
