I'm a 26.5 if you guys need a non-pro beater to test them out! lol... ;-)

Glad to hear the fit is similar to the current Cochise - this last version I was able to wear straight out of the box...

Bummer about the instep- that’s one of the consistent features that has kept me in Tecnica’s the past several seasons...

Wow, I’m definitely curious...

That's actually a really good point. Especially for bindings that have toe adjustments based on the boot. So I guess that makes my complaints of slight BSL variations moot in comparison.

Typo, but same point. Yeah, my 26.5's are 305mm. So having these be 3 mm different is kind of annoying. Saving 550-600 grams is enough to perk my interest but I'd still want to be able to swap...

3mm off the rest of the cochise line from recent years? (as in, 2017 Cochise's in that size are 305mm). That's actually pretty annoying - hope there was a good reason for it.

(obviously 3mm...
