With a generous 102mm last the new Sport Machine 3 110 is the perfect choice for good skiers needing a wider fit. The boot can be fine-tuned to give even more space where needed thanks to its Infared shell that provides easy customisation, plus an Adjustable Cuff Profile that can add a generous 14mm of extra space around the top of the cuff, ensuring a well-balanced stance whatever the calf size. A Tri-Force construction blends a rigid subframe that gives the boot power and drive to the skis, with a softer plastic that comfortably wraps the rest of the rest of the foot. A new Sportmachine means a new liner too, the pre-shaped 3D Performance Fit PrimaLoft maximises foot hold and can be heated and customised for instant comfort, plus PrimaLoft helps to keep feet extra warm too.

Available right now, exclusively at ellis Brigham, the brand new 2024 Nordica Unlimited 120 DYN fuses the ski-ability of traditional alpine boots with the uphill capabilities of tour models. A Triax and PU shell offers a powerful yet lightweight feel, but with a smooth and more forgiving flex compared to the lighter, firmer plastics used in some more tour dedicated models. TriForce construction uses softer plastics to provide excellent wrap around the foot and stiffer plastics provide the power that good skiers need; a cable closure on the lower foot easily switches from tightened for downhill skiing to a loser touring feel with an easy flick of the toe clip. Boot to binding compatibility can be a bit of a minefield especially when it comes to tour/backcountry boots, but with the Unlimited Sole design it’s a fuss-free experience with full-length GripWalk soles that offer excellent traction and can be unscrewed should they ever need replacing. Infrared fit technology makes it easy to tweak the snug yet comfortable 99mm last for the perfect fit and a 3D Cork Fit Primaloft® Light liner boosts comfort and foot hold.

This is especially true for the buckles on the Unlimited boots. Guided by a commitment to enriching your adventures, Nordica reimagined how the buckles on these boots perform. And in doing this, they improved the fit, efficiency, and durability of the boots. Instead of classical bales, the Unlimited boots feature a streamlined wire closure system that cradles your foot to offer a precise fit that boosts comfort and control. When it’s time to hike, skin, or just loosen up your boots, you can simply undo the quick-release power strap and flip up the toe buckle to release the closure system, which loosens the lower shell for greater comfort and mobility. And to further reduce weight and provide a consistent and reliable fit, the remaining buckles on the boot use a special magnesium alloy. Buckle up–and never look back–with Nordica’s Unlimited boots.SoleTo be worthy of adventure, a touring boot must be capable of not just enduring but also excelling in the diverse terrain it will inevitably encounter. Guided by this belief, Nordica set out to develop an entirely new sole for our Unlimited boots – a sole that was as versatile as it was durable. It had to offer exceptional grip to ensure it could withstand hiking in the most treacherous terrain – be that a rocky summit, high-stakes glacial traverse, or a parking lot coated in ice. Yet it also had to interface perfectly with countless binding systems while maximizing safety and control. This led to the creation of a sole that provides the legendary traction and performance of the Michelin Gripwalk system while also featuring DYN inserts. This sole is compatible with both ISO Gripwalk and alpine touring standards. And thanks to its screw-on design, the sole can readily be replaced to maximize the longevity of the boot. No matter how you define adventure–or where you pursue it–you can depend on Nordica’s Unlimited soles. [Full Details]

That’s why they showcase a specially designed ski-walk mechanism. It maximizes stability, control, and confidence when skiing thanks to the mechanism’s lock-out feature. It also offers exceptional comfort and mobility when walking or skinning. Thanks to an incredible range of motion of 65 degrees, the boot provides the freedom of movement necessary for climbing the most demanding slopes. And to better meet your needs based on how you’re moving through specific terrain, you can readily adjust the boot’s forward lean. This is done by simply rotating the ski-walk mechanism block by 180 degrees. In one orientation, this block provides 13 degrees of forward lean for a more aggressive, performance-oriented stance when descending. In the alternate orientation, the block offers 11 degrees of forward lean to create a more natural, relaxed feeling when walking.

The lightweight shell and 42o range of motion make short skins and hikes more comfortable. There’s no loss in performance thanks to the Power Light design with its stiffer and thinner frame material. C.A.S. on the shell and liner enable our boot fitters to make simple and effective alterations to the fit, even after the liner has been heat moulded. [Full Details]
The new version of the Cochise is both stronger and lighter, an impressive upgrade on what was already a class leading offering for skiers who demand the best downhill performance plus comfort and ease for ascending. The most noticeable change is the T-Ride hike system that increases the range of motion as well as improving the strength and power transfer. C.A.S. is still present on the shell and liner, as well as the tongue now, meaning customisation is simple and very effective to achieve a truly personalised fit.Ability LevelOverviewFitGood heel hold, medium mid-foot and comfy toe box.Shell PU shell with PP cuff and Carbon Co-injected Back Spine, mouldable.
