Last season, I got the chance to get my feet into the Tecnica Cochise 105s. And the boots’ comfort, fit, and function blew me away.
In short: These boots were made for walkin’ … and touring, and downhill skiing. While the boot has a standard, two-piece, four-buckle design, its performance was well above “standard.” With a 50-degree range of movement in walk mode, it’s comfortable for long days, and performs well on the skin track.
This is a resort-oriented boot that drives skis well, but can also tour the backcountry. These are already my favorite ski boots, and I expect they will be for a while.
