Ok, guys. Cat is out of the bag. I see Jeff was on Unleashed 98CAs. Is Nordica going to have carbon and ti versions of the Unleashed series? You can tell me.
BOA is the compromise between the new liner tech and old rear-entry boots. But still BOA tech disconnects the liner from the shell the same way rear entry boots did. The BOA system ''may'' reduce the performance difference rear entry boot and the conventual boot but it hasn't eliminated the difference. IMO it's a boot for the skier who skies 10-18 days.
I don’t see your point. The BOA system simply eliminates the buckles and replaces them with tensioned wires. How does that affect the interface between the liner and the shell? And what metric are you using to make the statement that ‘people who ski between 10-18 days a year” are candidates for this boot? Is that a subtle tone for “dad boot”?
Maybe I’m old school. Having difficulty understanding what if any advantages BOA offers over traditional micro adjustable buckles. Perhaps I just need to try on a double BOA and see for myself? I’m willing to struggle a bit more with getting the boot on and off if there actually is a fit and performance upside
Not a boa owner, so this is just what I’ve heard about the lower. Apparently the tightening happens from a wider angle rather than just pressing down at the top. I assume the boa around the calf functions the same
Dude….you’re skiing has improved. Good on you.
You guys have some awesome content. Genuinely useful info when thinking about new gear. Thanks! 🙌🏻
Fascinating. Also looking forward to the zipfit review!
Been anxiously awaiting this. I’m all-in on Boa, whether bike shoes, running shoes, or ski boots. Just waiting for some LVs.

Looking forward to the first impression of more 2026 gears.

@@Ceemysix You don't really grasp how the BOA system works, do you?
ETA: In addition, it's not worth the $100-125 more in cost.

I love how you hop into max carving angles. You got touch son!
Am i the only one that after Jeff said double boa heard the double rainbow guys voice in their heard saying "omg, double boaaaa"
Even your skiing looked a bit different. Maybe just me?
