DYNAFIT "RADICAL PRO": High-precision control thanks to a newly developed tongue

In 1990, DYNAFIT developed the world's first integrated boot, binding, and tech system. With its ultra-lightweight touring bindings, DYNAFIT established the standard for mountain skiing and solidified its position in the market. This brand enjoys high trust from top athletes, mountain and backcountry guides, and a wide range of mountain sports enthusiasts. Let's take a look at some of the notable models for next season

An industry-first approach to creating a tongue with a two-layer structure using two materials

The "RADICA PRO" is a highly regarded "all-around touring boot" that achieves a high level of balance between walking and skiing performance. For skiers who "don't want to compromise on skiing even in the deepest backcountry," this boot has evolved even further to allow you to enjoy a day in the mountains more comfortably

The most noteworthy aspect of this update is the significant improvement to the tongue structure. In addition to the previously used Grilamid base, which is lightweight, highly rigid, and maintains stable performance even at low temperatures, it has been revamped into a two-layer structure that combines Pebax, which has flexibility and excellent rebound. As a result, it is now possible to make optimal use of the properties of each material while maintaining a high rigidity level of Flex 120, and achieving a more supple and forgiving movement

As a result, it exhibits exceptional stability and control even in harsh conditions such as deep snow and steep slopes. Response during skiing is improved, providing a feel that directly reflects the skier's intentions. Furthermore, the flexibility of the tongue expands the range of motion around the ankle, making walking and hiking movements smoother and more comfortable

In addition, the buckle structure around the ankle has been redesigned. By changing from a conventional full band to a partial wire structure, weight reduction has been achieved while providing a flexible fit that maximizes the performance of the tongue. The well-balanced design provides a secure hold without being too tight, reducing fatigue even during prolonged use

The 103.5mm last provides both easy entry and secure hold, offering a stable fit for a wide range of foot shapes. The Vibram MEGAGRIP outsole delivers superior grip on everything from dry surfaces to wet rocks, ensuring reliable walking performance in any environment

In this way, by adopting new materials and optimizing the structure, the boots achieve a high level of balance between seemingly contradictory elements such as "strength" and "flexibility," and "lightness" and "stability." They have evolved into high-performance boots that can handle all snow conditions and terrains and meet the demands of advanced skiers

The appeal of this model doesn't end there. The 3-piece construction of the RADICAL PRO ensures a wide range of motion, providing greater freedom of movement while walking and ensuring comfort that reduces fatigue even during long hikes. Furthermore, the 103.5mm last width achieves a high level of balance between easy entry and secure hold, providing a stable fit that accommodates a wide range of foot shapes

The outsole features a Vibram MEGAGRIP sole. It provides excellent grip not only on dry surfaces but also on wet rocks and slippery conditions, supporting confident walking performance in all mountain environments. In addition, it is equipped with the wide-designed "Ultra Lock Strap" that securely fits the shin to the boot. Its superior power transmission performance enhances responsiveness while skiing, accurately conveying the skier's movements to the feet

The "Hoji Lock System" revolutionizes touring

At the heart of these boots' touring capabilities is DYNAFIT's unique "Hoji Lock System." With the operation of a single lever, the cuff lock, upper buckle, and power strap all work together, allowing for instant switching between walking and skiing modes. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for transitions, supporting smooth movement

What's even more noteworthy is the high level of reproducibility when switching to skiing mode. The consistent forward lean angle and fit every time provide stable skiing performance and a sense of security, which is a major advantage. A custom footbed, which allows for fit adjustment by shaving the bottom, is also included as standard. This not only allows for an optimal fit tailored to the sole of the foot without relying on custom insoles, but also contributes to weight reduction

Combining essential elements such as walkability, maneuverability, and fit at a high level, these boots pursue practicality in snowy mountains down to the smallest detail. The result is a highly functional shoe that doesn't compromise performance in any conditions. This model is a must-see for touring-oriented skiers who value both touring and downhill performance

We will also be exhibiting at SKI DIG

At the venue, visitors could actually touch and feel the texture of POMOCA skins, which are developed by the company, as well as try on boots and test ride popular touring skis
