Cochise 120 Ski Boot - Men's

Your skis are wide, rockered, and ready for the punishment, and the boots on your feet better be prepared for much of the same. The Tecnica Men's Cochise 120 Ski Boot has no qualms about being skiied hard and fast, because this is a 120 flex boot with tons of torsional rigidity and a ski/walk mode that locks with such precision, you'll swear that you're rocking a traditional, fully-rigid alpine boot.

Tecnica reinterpreted what an big-mountain, AT boot could be when it created the Cochise line. You'll find gobs of power on tap and all the little details that make the difference when you're touring to a secret stash or hammering laps off the tram. The ski/walk mode is a metal-on-metal affair, the cuff locks completely into the lower shell in ski mode (there's no drifting or sloppiness), and the sole blocks are interchangeable between DIN alpine blocks and Tech/Dynafit compatible blocks. You'll find that the Cochise offers a medium-to-high instep and a medium-width forefoot fit on the inside. 

Slide your foot into the custom-fit liner, micro-adjust each of the three buckles to your liking, wrench down on the monstrous power strap across the shin, and get cranking into the backcountry or at the resort. Unless you're rocking a race-stock or plug boot during your lift-riding days on snow, this is an AT boot that comes as close to a 'no compromise' build as possible.
