Cochise 90 Ski Boot - Men's

These days, it seems everyone is heading out beyond the boundaries, and you want in. The Tecnica Cochise 90 Ski Boot makes accessing the goods easier than ever, and with all-around performance and a 90 flex, you can rip up the resort all day, too.

On the way up, the lightweight Cochise is ready to charge. The Cuff Mobility System switches from ski to hike mode with the flip of a switch, unhinging the cuff from the lower boot to provide a wide range of motion while keeping your ankle secure with an aluminum upper buckle and power strap. For extra protection against sore spots and other foot pain, the Quadra Fit liner uses four different materials strategically placed that securely hold your foot while still offering a nice cushy feel. Interchangeable soles are also available with the Cochise, so you can ride your alpine setup or opt to get super tech and switch to a fully-rubberized AT system with no need for new boots. If you're scrambling up some exposed rocks on a ridge or skating down an icy parking lot, the rubberized heel and underfoot Arch Grip pad will keep you from ending up on your butt or in pieces at the bottom of a rocky slope.

Once you reach the top, switch back into ski mode, adjust the rear spoiler to suit your stance, tighten up your buckles, and crush your line. You can enter sketchy zones with the confidence of a resort knowing that you've used the dual rivets to fine-tune your cuff alignment and that the light Triax plastic will flex consistently no matter the temperature. Once you're back to the lodge or car, taking your boots off is easy, thanks to the Quick Instep soft plastic insert and hinged buckle catch that allow the shell to open wide and let your foot slide out of the shell.
