The 22/23 season version of the Hawx Prime 85 W remains a huge favourite with many skiers due to its smooth, progressive flex and precise feel. Sometimes softer flexing boots can be geared only towards comfort by having excess volume. Not in this case, the Prime 85 W has a user-friendly stiffness and a shell that is built for good skiing thanks to the Prolite design of lightness, power and sensitivity. Memory Fit allows the plastics to be custom moulded in-store for the best possible shape; a pre-shaped Memory Fit 3D Silver Liner fine-tunes the fit.Ability LevelOverviewFitMedium fit around the heel and ankle, medium to high instep, medum to wide across the forefoot.ShellPU Memory Fit shell and cuff, mouldable. 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.Liner3D Silver W, mouldable.

Using many features of the top-end models in the range, the Hawx Prime XTD 100 HT is an excellent introduction in to the world of BC ski boots providing performance, comfort and excellent value. Prolite construction uses different thicknesses of shell wall to balance lightweight with power and control. The Free/Lock hike and ski system provides 54deg of motion, ease of use and, thanks to the way it integrates the energy Backbone, precise ski control. Memory Fit on the shell means it can be heat moulded to even more closely match the foot shape; the 3D Silver Touring liner takes a mould of the heel and ankle area for the best comfort and control. Comes with GripWalk soles and tech insoles at the toes (not at the heel) so it can be used with a range of bindings.Ability LevelOverviewFitAn average fit on the rearfoot with generous forefoot width and a medium to high instep.Shell Prolite PU Memory Fit shell with PU Memory Fit cuff, mouldable.

The Hawx Ultra 95 W is always one of our most popular boots and the current version with a firmer shell and more powerful skiing than previous models is sure to continue this. It's still incredibly lightweight, with the same medium to low volume shape and a flex that targets intermediate and advanced skiers. Customisation is simple with the Memory Fit shell heat moulded to match the skier's foot shape whilst the Memory fit 3D Gold Liner provides extra customisation. With Power Shift on the spine to adjust forward lean and flex, and dual cuff alignment, this great boot can be perfectly set to your skiing style.Ability LevelOverviewFitSnug fit around the rear foot and medium over the instep, medium to narrow on the forefoot, round toe shape.ShellTrue 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 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.LinerMimic Gold W 3M Thinsulate, mouldable. Atomic's unique Mimic liners use a layer of supportive thermoformable material in the heel, ankle and tongue areas. After being softened in an oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot, and hardens in that shape for a perfect custom fit. 3D means pre-shaped heel and ankles areas for better foot hold and comfort. Thinsulate is the world's best-known insulation and its use keeps feet warmer. In addition there is heat mouldable foam in the tongue and ankle area that can be formed to the foot at the same time as the Mimic material.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.ThinsulateThe more air a material traps in a given space the greater its insulating value. The microfibres in 3M Thinsulate insulation are far finer than any other fibres, which means they trap more insulating air in less space, even when wet. This keeps feet warm and responsive even in extremely cold and damp conditions.General InformationCategory: AlpineFlex: 95Last Width: 98-102Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Velcro 35mmVolume: Low-MediumClips: 4 x 6000-Series Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Grip Walk (ISO 23223)Pin Inserts: NoSizing Hike Mode: NoRange of Motion: n/aWeight (g): 1805 (1/2 pair size 26.5)Binding Compatibility: GripWalk, WTR, Multi Norm [Full Details]
The VS is Apex's newest version of the innovative and popular Antero. This latest model is lighter and shorter, with better closure but the same impressive performance and ease of use.Apex boots deliver all the performance you demand but their unique design adds comfort and convenience you wouldn't expect. The obvious thing is that it doesn't use a full plastic shell. The open chassis construction has a rigid outer skeleton that powers and drives the skis, with a separate Walkable Boot that sits inside this frame. It uses three clips to secure the boot and can be tuned to each skier via an adjustable forward lean, three position flex and dual cuff alignment. The liner uses a multi-density heat mouldable foam that can be shaped to better fit the skier's foot for the best comfort and precision. Simple to use, but effective, Two-Zone Double-Stackl Boa closure systems ensure good wrap and an even pressure thanks to the Serpentine lacing system.The Walkable Boot makes getting to and from resort easy and uses Vibram's renowned winter-gripping Ice Trek outsole. No more slipping and sliding in rigid plastic boots with no grip and more comfort than your traditional ski boot.Ability LevelOverviewFitSurprisingly snug, provides firm heel and ankle hold, a medium width on the forefoot and the BOA + rachet straps give flexibilty for height over the instep.ShellOpen Chassis. New Nanolite Carbon chassis for lightweight, high-modulus support. This is a totally unique design that, unlike traditional full shell plastic boots, is just a frame. In addition to the comfort this can provide, it also offers a customisable flex that is independent of fit, along with superior stability and precise edge control, plus an adjustable flex-arm with four forward lean positions. The lateral stiffness of the chassis and cuff provide a direct connection to your skis, providing powerful energy transmission and precise control.LinerMulti-density design with new QPlush high resiliency foam, mouldable. A high-quality liner is critical to any ski boot. The Apex liner can be heat moulded and fitted to meet your individual needs. Combined with the Walkable Boot, the Apex boot liner provides added warmth and comfort to enhance your ski experience. Uses an expanded neoprene toe-box for added comfort. The liner sits in the Walkable Boot, a snowboard style of outer boot that uses a Two-Zone Double-Stack Boa design with Serpentine lacing system. This provides a more secure and comfortable closure over your instep. The Serpentine lacing acts as a pully system, drawing the tongue down over your instep instead of pushing down like traditional cross lacing. Maximum heel retention is the result.Key FeaturesWalkable BootSnowboard boots have always featured a soft exterior and comfort that no ski boot could offer. Snowboarders could perform all day on the mountain, and then walk around at the end of the day in the same boots and never worry about loosening them up. The Apex Walkable Support Boot provides the comfort and warmth of a snowboard boot that you can ski in all day long. Separable from the Open Chassis, the Walkable Boot provides a full-traction outsole for getting to and from the mountain in comfort and safety and 360-degree support without pressure points. Locks into the Chassis for a solid connection to your skis.Open Heel DesignPositions the walking boot back into the ultra-secure Vault System providing immediate responsiveness and a shorter boot sole length.Integrated Heel Cup & BridgeReduced weight and streamlined structure of the chassis creating The Vault.Carbon Reinforced Flex ArmAdjusts forward lean and flex range.Articulating Swing StrapsPivot out of the way for super easy entry into the chassis.Double Stack Boa SystemPowerful lower leg grip and heel retention provided by 20 points of closure for a custom fit every time.General InformationCategory: AlpineFlex: 115/125/135Custom Shell: NoCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: n/aVolume: Medium-HighClips: 3 x Aluminium, Microadjustable, Inverted, plus 1 x Boa on Soft BootSole Unit: Alpine (ISO 5355)Pin Inserts: NoSizing Hike Mode: NoRange of Motion: n/aWeight (g): 2948 (1/2 pair size 27.0)Binding Compatibility: Alpine, GripWalk, WTR, Multi Norm [Full Details]
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]
