bthomson - can't quote you as it garbles. I'm now at 50+ days on ZGTP (new version) and still have no ankle slop which is probably the most important update. The liner is now starting to pack out. ...

It's ever so slightly higher. That compares the 2023 ZGTP vs the older Hawx XTD.

From a skiing fit perspective it didn't make a noticeable difference. From getting the boot on the XTD is...

Not yet. 35+ days

They'll walk significantly better

It's certainly not a low volume boot! Imo it's mid volume, a happy medium if one is put a positive gloss to it.

I did think the cuff pivoted relatively friction free fwiw

What Golden said. And Jean yes. You asked about extra boot length and that's what I asked Tom

A bootfitter friend who works out of Intuition Sports in Vancouver (Tom James the Boot Mechanic) reported 5mm with moderate punches. He guessed he could get few more mm if necessary. The shell...

My last few long tours on these new ZGTPs involved glacier scootching. I did what goldenbc suggested and undid that referenced buckle completely which freed up ROM

I already added my impression that it felt the same ie not noticeable. 12 days on it and no change in that impression fwiw

Island. I carpet tested the Cochise 130 and it felt like the new ZGTP

Tjaard. One of the reasons the ZGTP was popular was that it was relatively easy to punch, stretch or customize for...

Today I got to try them out in what turned out to be approximately 70+cms of powder snow. By no means super light low density snow but nevertheless powder snow of the coastal variety.

The ZGTP...

First day ski impressions after getting the liners molded via The Boot Mechanic (Tom James) who works out of the Intuition shop. Also got punches at the toebox.

Damn picture didn't load. Here's the picture of the forward lean mechanism after removing screws. You can see it isn't a flip chip

Xavier asked:

The screws are loctited on well. They didn't strip but then I was quite careful. I reassembled with loctite.

Confirmed there isn't a forward lean adjustment. This is not a...

Here's the bootboard pictures

One boot fitter asked "Can you take a side profile shot of the boot board contours? By biggest complaint with the current ZGTP is the massize rocker and delta in the...

Top of boot felt identical. Instep actually feels tighter to get in so it's actually difficult to get my foot into the boot. It's to the point that when I tried a higher volume liner in the shell...

On a carpet test I can't tell. Need a cook and punch (duplicating what I did for the older ZGTP) to have these ok for touring to get on- snow.

I know the improved buckles have been mentioned but...

Looks and measures identical. Used tape measure so perhaps not the most precise. You probably already picked this up but the external bsl is identical

Old boot. Production ZGTP

Shell 1111g (ii) liner 209g; and (iii) footbeds 28g. 1348g

New boot

1060 - 237 -25. 1322g

No meaningful weight to drop unless you remove the toe buckle. ...

Yah. Blister has it at 14 (16 with spoiler). The docs I have stated 12/13 (15 with spoiler).

I'll check with Tecnica.

My docs also say there's a cant mechanism but I don't see it. ...

Some other random notes follow

The shell looks highly sculpted. It looks like Tecnica has tried really hard to save weight

The boot has a nicely aggressive Vibram ISO9523 sole

The walk mode...

Some notes re fit compared to the older boot and in isolation without yet cooking the liner

The toebox feels like the touted 99mm last. It is a polyamide so should hold a punch as well as the...

More weight comps

An Intuition Protour is 283g. The stock ZGTP liner is 260g. A Dynafit Hoji ProTour liner is 240g.

The ZGTP Shell itself is 1058g

Weights

The ZGTP in 26.5 bsl 303mm without optional spoilers or laces in liners comes in at 1310g.

Compare with 1422g for the Backland XTD 120, 1384g for the older ZGTP (Intuition liners)

Got a pair of the new for 2024 -2025 Tecnica ZeroG Tour Pro to try out

Probably deserves a dedicated thread. There's enough fans and curiosity ( me included)
