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.

The Prolite constructed Hawx Prime 95 W appeals equally to intermediate and advanced skiers. Prolite means a lighter and more sensitive model without any loss of power or control. The flex is supportive but never overbearing, making it ideal for cruising as well as faster, more technical skiing. Comfort comes from a variety of sources including the tried-and-tested stance that puts skiers in exactly the right position to feel relaxed but also to have good control. The energy Backbone enhances transmission for better grip. When skiing, the boot is responsive and precise, but also light and balanced. This is thanks to the rigid chassis that provides the power and a soft plastic that wraps around the foot. This performance is brought to life by the exceptional fit and the amount of personalisation. The Memory Fit shell is heated and moulded during the fitting, adding up to an extra 6mm of space where needed, the 3D Silver Liner is customised too, adding an extra level of comfort.Ability LevelOverviewFitMedium fit around the heel and ankle, medium to high instep, medum to wide across the forefoot.Shell PU 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 Gold W Thinsulate, mouldable. Thermoformable material is used in the heel, ankle and midfoot 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. Thinsulate is the world's best-known insulation and its use keeps feet warmer.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.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.SpecificationCategory: AlpineFlex: 95Last Width: 100-106Custom Shell: YesCustom Liner: YesPower Strap: Velcro 35mmVolume: Medium Clips: 4 x 6000-Series Aluminium, MicroadjustableSole Unit: Alpine (Adult ISO 5355)Pin Inserts: NoHike Mode: NoWeight (g): 1671 (1/2 pair size 24.0)Binding Compatibility: Alpine, GripWalk, WTR, Multi Norm [Full Details]
Intermediates and lighter weight advanced skiers should head straight for the Hawx Prime 100. For 22/23 GripWalk soles have been added to make using the boot around resort more comfortable. The smooth, easy flex is never punishing to use, it encourages good technique, helping skiers make the most of the balanced stance. Prolite construction produces a light boot that is both powerful and sensitive and also fits extremely well. Customisation comes from the heat-moulding of the Memory Fit shell and liner, evening out any pressure and improving the shape; Thinsulate is used for warmth.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.
