Skier's Choice Draft Picks
Derek Taylor
Round 5 – Boot Selection, AT/Sidecountry/Telemark, Pick 9
I haven’t bought into the ultra-light touring boot yet because most of my touring is still in the half-day range. The Factor 130 is compatible with tech bindings and has a walk mode, but performs like an alpine boot on the descent. The extra weight would be detrimental on a multi-day expedition, but doesn’t affect me on morning tours in Big Cottonwood Canyon or a hike up Teton Pass. I found the flex to be a bit softer than the stated 130, and the BOA system is a little time consuming and perhaps a bit overkill. But overall it’s a good compromise between tourability and downhill performance.Other Draft Picks By Derek Taylor
