Dynafit Radical Boot Review

The dynafit beast ski boot is perfect for alpine free touring and backcountry long days.

Dynafit radical boot review.

With numerous seasons on the dynafit radical binding in all conditions and with numerous different boots and skis i can confidently say it works great. Visually and in terms of performance the dynafit tlt speed virtually disappears. In recent years dynafit has earned a reputation for producing low volume high priced boots through their tlt line. The subtle and basic performance packed up in a svelte black form isn t seeking attention.

The pomoco rubber blend in the outsole doesn t change when temperatures do and offers consistent performance when it comes to grip and stance while walking when not in the binding. This boot was produced in europe. Dynafit has long led the charge in the market simultaneously improving bindings and boots making both better for touring and better for skiing. Then in november of 2018 there was news of a new boot the hoji free.

The radical from dynafit is an interesting step sideways for this perennial ski binding and boot innovator. The biggest criticisms revolve around the elasticity of the heel unit and its relationship to potential unwanted release and the occasional icing under the toe but i can honestly say these have never been big issues for me. He was a fan though the boot does have its quirks and it isn t the stiffest option in the category. Full review the dynafit radical is a 4 buckle boot with a generous fit not too stiff progressive flex that is easy to custom fit with superb touring mobility.

The boot liner of the dynafit radical is thickly lined and developed with an eye on great comfort. Lightweight comfortable and stiff it was created with the dynafit concept of snowdynamic to tackle deep powder without sacrificing speed. The pomoco rubber blend in the outsole doesn t change when temperatures do and offers consistent performance when it comes to grip and stance while walking when not in the binding. Such is the price of trimming weight.

These bindings do their job reliably and quietly. It has the stiff flex needed for good turns and performance going downhill. The radical is a classic four buckle boot so it s easy to get a good grip on your foot and transfer all the power of your leg to the turn or hold it in place so it doesn t slop around when touring.
