Does dynafit sell three buckle boots? If so, are they lighter than 4-buckle. What is the advantage of 4-buckle?
Considering a major investment after using X-country skiis for ten y ears.

The used to sell the green monster in three buckle version: http://www.backcountry.com/dynafit-zzero-3-c-tf-alpine-touring-boot It's not as stiff or supportive, but it does shave some weight off. The 4 buckle boots provide a better fit overall and lock in the foot better for more support. If you are really interested in it for the weight savings, my advice would be to get some of the higher end carbon boots like the tlt5.

They sell some ultra light race boots with 2 buckles, but no 3 buckle boots. The 4th, or toe buckle, well some people like to crank that down, but I really dont', so the only advantage to me is maybe the dispersion of torque across more points of the boot when needed. I think some people think a 4 buckle boot is "burlier" but then again I skied the Agent AT 3-buckle boot and loved it. I did notice a little more wear at the single lower buckle cross point on the agent AT's but this could have been due to the construction of the plastic, or the metal loops they use on their buckles (Tech..not dynafit)
