![]() ![]() The first is that the lining fabric is not abrasion resistant and will wear through to the shell in just a few dozen days of use maybe as few as two dozen for a larger skier. It is however not perfect, there are two weaknesses that only show up with use. This boot has a superbe combination of edge to edge support with frount to back flex for a longer stride. This boot offers some of the support that used to be available only in the older top grain leather 75mm boots without the stiffness of the plastic tele boots leaving more freedom of movement for touring. The NNN-BC has been a great solution to this problem by replacing the sole flexion with a mechanical pivot point. The old binding systems (75mm three pin) only last so long for me three to four seasons before the soles start to crack. I am an outdoor guide and spend maybe 60-70 days a season in nordic boots. Not sure I have reciept anymore, but, a manufacturer should stand by their products no matter what!!! I ordered new ones last night and decided on the Rossignol BC 圆. When I had a buckle break and contacted Fischer they said to contact the retailer I bought from and see what they said. I'm glad I spilled as I would have been even father away from my truck if it seperated.ĭon't think I can recomend these anymore. Yesterday after 7 or 8 miles of skiing a State Park that has some rolling hills I had a small spill and noticed that the right boot toe had pulled away from the sole to nearly the mid boot area with the sole staying attached to the binding. They have worked fairly well as you can see on my earlier reviews. After a sparse winter last year I have been taking advantage of the recent blizzard and 1 other storm. These boots are barely used two seasons worth of skiing. * Edited this on the day after I skied and they failed on me. The only problem was the buckle end the strap fed through broke due to-5 degree temps but the plastic support had a slot that allows me to threar strap through. ![]() Also have them mounted on Alpina Trackers and they work equally as well.Ĭompared to Rossignol BC X5's they have more support and are warmer. Not too heavy climbing but supportive enough they let me rip some turns. I've used them with Magnum BC bindings mounted on Atomic Sierra skis (69mm shovel) and for low angle skiing and turning these are a blast. I have used several different brands and this is the warmest and most supportive of all. This boot is a good boot for XC/Backcountry skiing and will have the power to drive skis up to 69-78mm. A VERY WARM and supportive boot that will allow you to focus on having fun making good turns. ![]()
