![]() ![]() Recently there's been others (Lupo TI and now Full Tilt's offering for next season), but they're a bit heavier. If you like an instep buckle to keep your heel back while touring, your options for a long time were pretty much Maestrale RS or Vulcan. Like you said, he's an amazing skier who likes to tinker with his boots, and he's also one of the first skiers to adopt tech binders for filming and in consequential terrain. ![]() Re hype: I think we all wanted to see what was possible for Vulcan 2.0, especially if Hoji was given more design choices. Of course, Dynafit made no improvements for 5 years, but the Vulcan was pretty ahead of its time when it first came out. ![]() Well, the Vulcan was an awesome boot, and still isn't terrible compared to the competition. It’s a compelling narrative that certainly draws me in, but whether his exceptional skiing skills translates into innovations that have merit, or if Dynafit allows the uncompromised expression of those ideas, is open to debate. We bitch and moan about what’s wrong with existing products, and what we’d do if given the opportunity, and we follow along with Hoji as he actually gets to do it. There’s a degree of accessibility and relateability with Hoji, that doesn’t exist in most other product developments. Interested in what you guys think about next years Fischer Ranger boot in comparison to this "unicorn" Its just a ski boot with a walk mode, good ROM and one less handling? Or am I missing something here? It's not like Dynafit and Hoji came with some amazing products in the past and easy walk mode switches are not new. Ofcourse this is an interesting boot, but why is there so much hype around it? Just because Hoji is an amazing skier that likes to fiddle with his boots and Dynafit putting the spotlight on that? ![]()
