Garmont Syner-G Telemark Boot - Mens - 2008 BCS

I have used this boot for two seasons on most snow conditions in and out of the backcountry. These boots have a nice and easy flex, they are stiffer than a two-buckle boot and softer than a four-buckle boot. These boots can push a large ski, but not very well with a stiff binding. They perform well in the backcountry, providing a smooth tour. The only problem I have found is that there is not much material protecting the bellow and I wore a small hole through it. Overall a good boot for in and out of the resort.

The Syner-G is a very versatile boot. It's probably between the T1 and the T2 in terms of stiffness. The boot is light enough and comfortable enough that it is a great choice if you're hiking for turns, but stiff enough that you can really enjoy the ride down. I can push a big ski (G3 Reverends) hard with this boot, but I have to work at it. There are two different forward lean settings (plus a more upright walk setting), so you can take a more or less aggressive stance depending on what you are skiing that day. The boots are very comfortable, and the thermo-moldable liner lets you really customize the fit to your foot. I've been skiing them for two years, and they have held up well. I like the boot a lot. If you're only going to have one pair, this is probably a good all around choice.

Syner-G's are an awesome set of boots. Learned the art of tele on them last year and they held up the the beating I took and gaveout. Hiked 5 miles to tuckerman ravine in them, and no there was no snow on the trail. This is a great boot to drop a knee at the local ski hill, skin up to make some turns off-piste or just sit back and have a few apres at the water hole.
