Chicago rivet?

So true, WS loves the dynafit koolaid

I was reading the tongue IF IT IS removable it's a system kinda like the atomic backland boot with you pressing the dynafit logo to release the tongue.

Right!? That was exactly what I liked bench testing the Hoji, since I have a real tall instep, but the heel hold still felt solid.

Now there we go! Although having it at 1550 puts them on the heavy side of current 130 flex AT boots...there is going to be a whole lot of unsold Hoji's 1st gen

Nah, blisters are real with a shitty heel fit.

This is actually an issue in Europe. Listen to the Blister Gear:30 podcast when they are talking to the global product manager of Atomic boots. He says the ease of entry and non custom boot fitting...

Just across that Phantom Splitboard Bindings does a mod kit for TLT6 that both replaces the cuff pivot and relocates the lower buckle to the cuff pivot. Same price as B&D's cuff pivot replace, plus...

NewMatic = SemiAuto = Plastic toe bail + heel clip

The toe/ heel ledge is a completely new mold since those thicker sections really require a bit of re-engineering in the molds to make sure everything is flowing and cooling at the right rates. Little...

Can't wait for that slot to ice up... Might as well just get Petzl Leopard FL crampons if you want something light.

It does have red bits on it thought....

Plus everyyyyyyyone who reads wildsnow knows that white is faster on the uphill since snow doesn't stick to it since it heats up less.

With all of Hoji's...
