BSL Thread

**F.D.V.** · 11-10-2009, 03:21 PM

In an effort to help people compare sizing across different brands, and also to compare BSL's within a brand, list your current boot, its mondo size, and it's BSL.

Scarpa:

28.5 Tornado Pro - BSL 324
28.5 Typhoon - BSL 324
28.5 Spirit 4 - BSL 322

Add if you wish, just figured a thread with these numbers for reference might help people when comparing boots or mounting bindings.

FWIW - most manufacturers are +10mm for each size. so a 27 = 315, 28 = 325, etc

full tilt does it by +8mm increments, so a 27 is 310, 28 is 318, 29 is 326

salomon plug = 313 @ 27
salomon falcon = 315 @ 27
salomon course = 314 @ 27
salomon crossmax/x-wave = 315 @ 27

kryptons = 316 @ 27

garmont shaman = 318 @ 27

also, a note on scarpa = most companines run the same size shell @ 27 and 27.5. scarpa is different. a 27.5 and 28 are the same size shell, a 28.5 and 29 are the same etc.

don't remember what head/nordica/rossi/lange goes.

Atomic B120- 314 in a 27.5

**nvr2deep** · 11-10-2009, 04:45 PM

salomon Xwave 10- 26.5 305mm

**cooks** · 11-10-2009, 04:47 PM

Scarpa typhoon = 307 @ 27

**HankScorpio** · 11-10-2009, 05:27 PM

Head S10 27.0 = 317 mm
Head S13 26.0 = 307 mm

**bern43** · 11-10-2009, 05:32 PM

Tecnica Dragon 120 27.5 = 315 mm

**JayPowHound** · 11-10-2009, 05:34 PM

Technica Magnesium, 24.5, 284.

Pretty much seems to fit marshal's +10mm per size when compared to the Dragon above.

Shit are you like the ultimate boot dude? I bet you could get a horse foot into a plug.

Er.. Nordica Speed Machine BSL, 335. Dont know the size, maybe 29 but its ok because Marshal will know it.

I think some langes do this too, and I've always wondered how this works. If the foot size/mondo goes up by 10mm every time, how does the length of the plastic only increase by 8mm?

Anyway,
26 Garmont Megaride = 300
7.5 (25 i think) Rossi b-squad carbon = 300

**whyturn** · 11-10-2009, 06:52 PM

Tecnica agent 110 27.5 = 315mm
Lange Super Blaster 26.5 = 310mm

**blackgriffen_1** · 11-10-2009, 06:54 PM

Lane CRL 90: 28.0=324mm, although when measured the sole was actually 327mm. Most likely human error...

**ill-advised strategy** · 11-10-2009, 06:54 PM

My 29 daleboots were 335

my 29 technica explosion 8's were 330

FT/raichle 29 = 326

**volklpowdermaniac** · 11-10-2009, 07:17 PM

27.0 lange freeride 110: 317.

**Ole703** · 11-10-2009, 07:22 PM

I will chime in here....

Nordica Supercharger Ignitions 26.5 (305mm)

I downsized a full boot size a while back.
Tecnica Diablo Race R H13 (Plug): 25.5 (294mm)
Nordica Supercharger Blowers 25.5 (295mm)

**jondrums** · 11-10-2009, 07:26 PM

dynafit titan 28.5 (322mm)

**farmer** · 11-10-2009, 07:33 PM

lange concept 95 - sz 28.5 - 329 BSL

**ectreeskier11** · 11-10-2009, 07:42 PM

fucking great idea for a thread. can't believe this has never been done before (has it?).

**couloir** · 11-10-2009, 08:02 PM

salomon pro model : 24.5@283mm

someone going to compile this info?

**Wes Mantooth** · 11-10-2009, 08:42 PM

27/27.5 Krypton Pro = 316
27.5 Scarpa Skookum = 313
Tecnica Race 110 27.5 = 311

**F.D.V.** · 11-10-2009, 08:46 PM

No, I don't think it has.

Now, what is your BSL?

See, this intrigues me. Scarpa's rockered sole models all have BSLs that are 2mm shorter than their alpine soled counterparts. My Tornado Pros and Typhoons are both 324mm for the BSL. The Spirit 4s that I had were a 322 BSL. Does the rocker in the sole take away some length from the sole? I would have though the opposite...

^^The soles under the toe lugs are HEAVILY rockered, enough to explain those mm's

I know the Spirit 4 is a 313 also in a 28...which is apparently same as a 27.5 shell in Scarpa
