The Mercury offers top skiing performance
- the ability to drive modern freeride skis at any speed, the possibility to customise forward stiffness thanks to a removable DOWNHILL BOOSTER TONGUE & optimal heel retention while skiing & landing big drops. Features & Benefits Ultra-Lock System This boot has been developed with some fantastic features like the ULTRA-LOCK SYSTEM 2.0 which works brilliantly when switching between SKI & WALK modes. Central Buckle You also get the new innovative central buckle which is anchored on the shell pivot points & offers maximum heel retention. When hiking it is annoying if clips or cables un-hook of self adjust, so here we have a unique cable retention system to stop this problem. Alpine Touring Sole The Dynafit alpine touring sole is an exclusive bi-injected outsole, developed with the most durable rubber compounds on the extremities & a sticky rubber compound in the centre for hiking. The patented quick-step-in inserts provide 70% easier step-in to tech fit bindings. Driving Spoiler The rear of the boot has a driving spoiler which once the Ultra-Lock is closed provides a super stiff downhill structure. It also alleviates friction between cuff & the liner helping heel retention when walking. You can use the spoiler to adjust the forward lean angle of the boot depending on your preferred stance. Thermoformable Liner The new thermoformable liner is crafted with an optimal blend of materials & thickness, allowing for a refined fit across a wide range of users. It has thermal insulation throughout the upper layers of closed cell, & the 100% thermoformable nature of the liner means that you don’t need to heat mould as it will mould itself.
Specification Shell
Material: Grilamid shell/ Carbon Fiber/ Grilamid cuff/spoiler Buckles: ULTRA-LOCK SYSTEM 2.0 Liner: Thermofit One-Vulcan-Mercury Universal TF Forward Lean: 15
- 18° & Release for Walking Cuff Rotation: 60° Weight: 1600g (27.5) This boot is I really nice boot to wear, it has a generous toe box which is ideal for those long hikes, it has a wider mid-foot & heel than I was expecting but then I have super narrow feet. The cuff is nice & high which makes the boot feel stiffer than you would expect it to be. This boot is very similar to the One PX-TF but does have a better downhill performance & weighs slightly more at 1600g compared with 1450g. Is it for me? If classic ski touring is your thing, saving weight is your aim, & epic lines are your game then this boot is for you!
