SmartWool NTS Lightweight V-Neck Long Underwear Top - Women's

NTS stands for Next-to-Skin; this indicates fit. NTS product is more form fitting than non-NTS, for being worn as a base layer.

I'm not sure what non-NTS piece you are comparing this to, but typically NTS fit will not dictate price. Other factors, such as material weight, or features will define changes in price point.

Answer to: "How does the Dragon 120 compare to the Agent 130. The Agent"

Tecnica Dragon 120 HiPerFit Ski Boot - Men's

Tecnica Dragon 120 HiPerFit Ski Boot - Men's

November 13, 2009

Definitely slightly different boots. The Agent 130's are built for freeskiing pro level riders. Dragon 120 is perfect for your all-mountain advanced/expert.

Last: The Agent 130's are built on a performance driven 98mm last, were the Dragons use more moderate 100mm width. This 100mm last is the same last used in the Agent 110's.

Flex: Obviously the Agent 130's are slightly stiffer at a 130 flex; Dragon 120 = 120 flex.

Features: The Agent series includes a shock absorbent boot board and liner, were the Dragons have a more traditional, rigid board.

Yes the Dragon 120 will rip all mountain, but if are sold on the 98mm race inspired last and 130 flex, you may want to also check out the Race Pro 130.

The Firm 8 is in that 110-120 range. Keep in mind flex rating are not a standardized measurement, but are specific to each manufacturer; these should be taken with a grain of salt.

For comparison, the Stiff 10 tongue is compared to a 130 flex index.
