That's crazy that they can't get more for the year and it's not October. Bad forecasting by Tecnica
Going to eek one more season out of my Kryptons most likely anyhow, so the discussion is a moot point for me.
They fit great. Man are the liners sweet compared to the utilitarian Intuition liners in the Dalbellos.
Yes, had them cooked. Never liked the overlap design of the intuitions.
Yes, had them cooked. Never liked the overlap design of the intuitions. The Nordica liners have much nicer padding and the fabric is great. These can also be heat molded. I didn't get that done today as the shop was crazy busy with the holiday sale. I'll go back when its quiet and I can spend more time getting them molded and dialing in the cant.
Interesting. I know it's not quite as important with snowboard boots as ski boots, but I just got a new pair of Ride boots as part of a warranty exchange. They have Intuition liners (the original ones I had didn't) and my first thought was "man that overlap looks uncomfortable!" I hope they are OK, but I can definitely already picture me not liking it.
I guess not.
Just purchased a pair of last years Nordica Firearrow F3 boots. Social media works as I saw Fire on the Mountain advertising a Columbus Day Sale. I went into the shop most interested in this years Lange RX130 or a K2 Pinnacle 130. I tried both of those on, but then the shop guy pointed out the Nordicas as another option for a stiffer boot. They fit great. Man are the liners sweet compared to the utilitarian Intuition liners in the Dalbellos.
Also goes to show what a crap shoot flex ratings are. The Firearrows felt stiffer than the other two boots. Their flex rating is a 14 (whatever that means) and I've read online that that translates to a 115.
Great deal too. $349 and they threw in an early season voucher for Sunday River. I probably could have saved a little bit more buying these boots online, but having the shop available to work on them for no charge if I have issues was worth the extra few bucks to me. I also likely wouldn't have gotten a "free" day of skiing buying the boots online.
Can't wait to ski them.
