This winter, the most talked-about innovation on the slopes isn't necessarily on the skis, but in your feet. Six emblematic brands - HEAD, NORDICA, ATOMIC, K2, SALOMON and DALBELLO - are embracing the technology of the ski boot. BOA® Fit System Dual Dial, a dual-disc clamping system that redefines comfort, precision and performance.
Gone are the metal hooks: in their place are two independent tightening zones, at collar and hoof level, offering a micro-adjustable, multi-directional fit.
The result is superior heel support, more direct power transmission and an unprecedented feeling of control.
With this system, putting on or taking off your shoes becomes a fluid, quick movement, without compromising on support.
