Re: XPlore boots comparison

Yes, just last week i looked at the Skaget and said to a friend that this is the boot that compares the most to the original Alaska, main difference ist probably slightly wider in front and the heel ankle grip cushions that are fantastic. I also had the chance to try on the Pioneer Pro and Pioneer T...

Re: 2024 Alpina Pioneer TECH XP Backcountry/Telemark ski boot review XPLORE

Theme I'd say yes,they have really more support than the alaska XP. And more than the Alfa Skaget as well... Especially lateral support is much stronger, fore aft a little bit. I think this is a good all around boot for people who want controll on the downhills but something that XCs better than an...

Re: Black Diamond Tele gear

I had a black diamond push boot for 2 winters, used it with a AXL binding. Was a fantastic boot to Ski. I would say super for wider feet, soft bellows and hard upper. If i remember correctly it event had a 130 flex written on it. I changed after for a T2 Eco, which i liked less, bellows way harder, ...

Re: Rottefella Xplore Pin Grease

I used finish line wet chain lubrification. it was all i had laying around and worked fine last winter... Compared to a real grease it is more viscous/liquid, but still quite thick for a "oil" type of thing so i'd suggest it'd stay on longer than wd40 or any other oil, without attracting dirt or clo...

Re: Fischer BCX GT waterproof vs OTX adventure BC

Hi, nice to hear people getting into this sport. I don't know well the Grand Tour, but quite well the OTX Adventure. The OTX is a nice, quite light boot which is good for kick and glide but not the best on downhill. It is quite a soft boot. They make the same boot for NNN Bindings (Classic XC Bindin...
