If you need a red jacket look at SAC right now, seems to be a good deal on an OR jacket:-D

C'mon you guys can't possibly let this comment go to waste.
You can fully customize the Krypton Pro, which was the appeal for me. I believe the flex range goes from 90 to 140. I tried on some Rampage's, the next softer model down and I felt like I could completely fold the boot over....wanted something stiffer. Kryptons also have a heat moldable liner. Will see, my primary reason for getting them was to try the three piece design that reputable has a more efficient flex.
We Did
But they fit kind of wide and I wanted to get you into a 3 piece shell. + it has that ID liner.

After October comes Ski Time! We started skiing at Mt Snow last November 14 and they were already open for a few days. Attached is a picture of my father (76) cruising that day.

Hate to totally hijack this thread for a gear thread, but.......
Being the Dalbello Diva that I am, let me help.......
The Proton series is different form the Krypton series, with the Protons being slightly wider. Also, the tongue and buckle system is different, thus giving it a completely different feel, and flex.
The Tongues on the Krypton, as well as a bag of tricks that come with the boots, an be changed to alter forward position and flex.
This bag of tricks is not available with the Proton.
I feel as though the Krypton is a step up from the Proton, but that is not necessarily the consensus. The Proton is just a different boot altogether.

DalBello Proton 8. I tried on the Full Tilts which were recommended on the mogul board but the calf area was just too large. That is one funky a$$ boot right there though. Its totally old school. old school shell, buckles, almost like a rear entry boot in some aspects.
Proton 8
nice..............just got these...color is kinda gay might spray paint em blaze

More Krypton Info
Kryptons are not as wide as the Proton's. A 98 last vs 101 but more important for me was the lower hinge point that only a 3 piece shell can have. It makes it easier to flex the boot. The whole boot screws apart to make it very easy to grind and boot fit. Get one with and ID liner and footbeds.
We've sold a lot of these boots to Pro Skiers and everyone loves them. My only caution is they are not a good race boot. If you need a great price on a pair just ask me.....

where were you yesterday????
not because of the price but the knowledge. i'm bummed about the width thing. Had i known that prior to purchasing, i wouldve tried on the kryptons for sure. I have a somewhat narrow foot and i want zero lateral movement.

This is where we say JONG!
Did you read Deadheadskier's thread where much of this is explained before he bought?
Did you start your own thread, asking?
Hmmmmmm?
For search purposes, it may be a good idea to have the AZ team split these posts to their own thread in the Gear section. Very good information.
Its 6:00 am. my kids have been up all night screaming because of the thunderstorms. I just deleted my post as i realized my own error and now i see you already quoted me. take it for what you will but i'm honestly working on about 2 hours of sleep.
