Boots equipped with the innovative "RYF" system that "remembers the fit" are creating a buzz
The new ski boots unveiled for the 2026-2027 season are attracting a lot of attention. At first glance, they look like BOA boots, but in fact, they incorporate a completely different and innovative new closure system called "RYF (Remember Your Fit)"
With its groundbreaking "fit-memorizing" approach, this boot features a precise, millimeter-precise adjustment function via a dial that allows you to customize the fit to your foot shape. Once fitted, it can be controlled with just one buckle. Easy adjustment and quick release, plus impeccable comfort and fit. This is the ideal next-generation boot that sets itself apart from existing systems and directly enhances performance
Founded in 1924 by Anton Kässle in Hohenems, Austria, the company was founded by Anton Kässle. With unconventional thinking, a quest for innovation, a commitment to technology, a love of detail, and an unwavering pioneering spirit, Kässle aimed to exceed skiers' expectations. He particularly focused on honing his racing ski manufacturing techniques, and since 1960 has grown into a leading ski brand, winning over 130 medals at the Olympic and World Championships in alpine skiing
Since then, through acquisitions, brand demise, and revivals, the brand has expanded its product categories and made a full comeback to the international market. Since its full comeback in 2018, the brand's product categories have expanded significantly in its home country of Austria, now offering racing, piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, Nordic, and ski boots. The boots, made in Italy, feature the brand's color, Kesslemint, and are made from a tenacious material called K-Blend, which is unaffected by temperature
Having already won the Alpine World Cup (Women's Downhill), and with an increasing number of athletes becoming regulars on the World Cup podium in ski cross, moguls, aerials, and cross-country, Kessle is gaining global attention. Kessle's freeride models (ZX and FX) are particularly popular in North America
