The Dynafit Tigard 130 ski boots are built for those who crave both uphill efficiency and downhill control. Featuring a 70° cuff rotation, these alpine touring boots offer unprecedented freedom of movement on the ascent. The patented Hoji Lock system seamlessly merges the cuff and shell, providing a secure connection when transitioning from uphill to downhill. Made from Grilamid with carbon fibers, the boots deliver high rigidity with a flexible 130 flex, ensuring you can push your limits on steep descents.
With a 101 mm last width and four micro-adjustable buckles paired with a power strap, your feet stay snug and supported during intense runs. The integrated ski/walk mechanism, connected via a cable system, allows effortless transition—simply flip from walk to ski mode with a single hand movement. When in downhill mode, the Tigard 130 locks out at a maximum forward lean of 13°, providing a balanced, athletic stance for control and precision.
Designed with durability and comfort in mind, these boots feature a thermo-moldable liner with PrimaLoft® insulation, ensuring warmth and custom fit. The Sturdy Gripwalk soles provide excellent traction on icy terrain or when walking out of the bindings. Compatible with fully automatic crampons (sold separately), they’re truly versatile for all backcountry conditions.
