Tecnica Agent 110 Ski Boot - Men's - 2008 BCS

Smooshy mooshy. High speed swooshing. I'm digging the flex ratio of these boots. I used to ski in race plug boots and over the years have been progressing towards the freeride options. And boy, I couldn't be happier. These boots have allowed me to really bend out the skis and get them floating in ways I've never thought was possible. My whole skiing experience has adapted to the smooshy swooshy high-speed turns that are so fun in variable conditions. No more hard carving for this guy; give me slashes from here to eternity! Love these boots! They get a four-star rating from me, only because my funky feet need a Surefoot liner to really dial 'em in.

I just got from four days a Jackson Hole. Out of the box and on to the hill. They got better each day. I didn't even loosen them at lunch on day four. Skied Casper Bowl and the Crags. Comfy on the way up and performed in knee to waist deep pow on the way down. They also soaked up some crusty hard bumps in the Hobacks lower down on the mountain. My only beef is they tend to bite the top of you ankle upon entry and exit. Be careful. 26.5's on 9.5 shoe size feet.

When I first put a pair of the Agent 110s on I felt like they were made for my foot. The 26.5 (full size down from my running shoe size) was the perfect shell length for my foot to provide a performance fit, but after 10 days the liners have packed out significantly and I am now in the process of trying to find the right sized Intuition liner to replace the stock liners. I love the flex for all types of skiing, but they really shine in the pow and bumps. I just wish all boot manufacturers could figure it out and start selling their higher end boots with true custom moldable liners like Scarpa, Garmont, Dalbello and some others have been doing for years.
