The Dynafit Ridge Women’s Ski Touring Boot is engineered for the serious backcountry skier who demands uncompromising performance on both the ascent and the descent. Crafted for ambitious ski tours on alpine terrain, this premium boot is the epitome of high-end design, combining lightweight efficiency with powerful downhill control. If you’re looking to push the limits of your backcountry expeditions while maintaining superior comfort, the Ridge is the boot for you.
Key Features and Benefits:
Innovative Floating Tongue Construction
One of the standout features of the Ridge is its patented Floating Tongue construction. During the ascent, the tongue glides smoothly across the cuff horizontally, moving naturally with your foot and ankle without creating friction or pressure points. This design adapts to both high and low insteps, offering a personalized fit that eliminates the discomfort often associated with traditional ski boot tongues. Whether you’re climbing steep slopes or navigating long approaches, the Floating Tongue keeps your foot comfortable and supported every step of the way.
Unmatched Mobility with 70° Cuff Rotation
For those who enjoy long, demanding climbs, the 70° cuff rotation of the Ridge ensures full mobility without restrictions. This generous range of motion allows for an efficient, natural stride on the way up. The increased cuff rotation helps maintain optimal efficiency in your kick and glide, reducing fatigue over long distances or technical ascents, while still maintaining the security needed for aggressive skiing when it’s time to head down.
Customizable Fit with 3D Adjustability
Fit is everything when it comes to ski touring boots, and the Ridge boot allows you to adjust the fit to three-dimensional precision. Thanks to the innovative dial adjustment system, you can fine-tune the boot to match the shape of your foot, ensuring a snug fit around your ankle, instep, and midfoot. This customization minimizes the risk of pressure points and blisters, offering both comfort and support during long tours. Whether you need a looser fit for a relaxed climb or a tighter fit for precise control on descents, the Ridge adjusts effortlessly to suit your needs.
Hoji Lock System for Seamless Downhill Power
When you reach the summit and it’s time to drop in, the Hoji Lock System is what makes the Ridge boot shine. This system integrates the cuff and shell into one fully interlocking unit for maximum power transfer from your body to your skis. This tight, precise fit eliminates any play between the cuff and shell, meaning you get unmatched downhill responsiveness. With just one-hand operation, the Hoji Lock system seamlessly switches between uphill and downhill modes, so you can focus on your line, not your boots.
Balanced Flex (100) for Precision and Comfort
The 100 flex rating of the Ridge offers the ideal balance between comfort and performance. Whether you’re making quick turns on steep descents or carving wide arcs through deep powder, the Ridge flex provides stability, responsiveness, and a smooth, progressive feel for varied snow conditions. It’s stiff enough to provide control at high speeds but still offers enough flex for comfort and easy skiing on mellower terrain.
Lightweight and Durable Construction
Crafted from Grilamid® loaded with fiberglass, the Ridge is lightweight but exceptionally durable, giving you the best of both worlds. The materials used in its construction ensure a rigid, stable fit that will withstand the rigors of extended touring while maintaining a low weight. This means less fatigue on long ascents and more energy for the descent, without compromising the boot's strength or longevity.
Master Step Binding System: Effortless Entry and Exit
The Master Step system revolutionizes the entry process, allowing you to step into your bindings with 50% less effort. The patented insert in the Ridge’s sole ensures easier alignment and quicker locking into your tech bindings. With longer guidance grooves that lock onto the binding’s pins in a semi-circular upper overlap, getting in and out of your bindings is quicker and more efficient than ever before. This is a huge time-saver, especially on high-speed transitions between skinning and skiing.
Vibram Sole for Exceptional Traction
The Vibram® sole ensures superior traction on snow, rock, and ice. Whether you’re walking across icy ridgelines or scrambling up a rocky ascent, the Vibram sole provides a solid grip, offering stability on varied and slippery surfaces. This increases your confidence when moving off the ski slopes and is ideal for mixed conditions encountered during ski mountaineering.
Dynafitter 5 W 2.0 Liner: Women-Specific Comfort
The Dynafitter 5 W 2.0 liner is designed specifically for women, ensuring a comfortable and supportive fit that maximizes warmth and reduces discomfort on long tours. The liner is designed to retain heat, wick moisture away, and offer a precise fit, which ensures a cozy experience throughout the day. Paired with the boot’s adjustable fit features, it delivers a personalized feel that will keep your feet happy on even the toughest tours.
