Dynafit TLT8 Expedition CR Men’s

The new TLT8 Expedition, at 1,020 grams is a true lightweight among two-buckle ski touring boots. To incorporate more speed, plus comfort and safety on the climb, a new closure system was incorporated: the Ultra Lock 4.0. Its operation is simple and intuitive, and thus saves time when transitioning from climbing to descending. The upper buckle has two functions: It operates as a lever for the ski-walk mechanism and also opens the cuff. Just like the second buckle below it, it is micro-adjustable, and therefore the fit can be customised perfectly to the foot of every ski touring enthusiast. The system is also easy to operate with gloves. Thanks to a cuff rotation of 60 degrees, this boot enables a natural, energy-saving walking gait even on very steep terrain. A shortened toe – the so-called Speed Nose – translates into a reduction in weight of 15 percent, as well as a 12 percent more efficient roll-through by the foot with its pivot point set back by 4 mm. On the descent, the ski touring boot can be locked into a forward lean of 15 or 18 degrees. This offers a dynamic position for speedy downhills. For optimum power transfer, the fit of the TLT8 Expedition has been redesigned so the boot offers a narrow, athletic fit with a last width of 103 mm. A special feature of the TLT8 Expedition is revealed on icy, level sections or traverses on especially steep terrain when out of the binding: This ski touring boot is ideally suited for use with the new, ultralight Cramp-In crampons.
