Dalbello revamped its classic 4-buckle DRS race boots, dropping the Scorpion name but not the sting of its close-to-the-shell design. Customizable liners and shells are concessions to the Zeitgeist that demands this level of personalization, but the DRS and DMS models ski brilliantly even if these features are never invoked.
To lift the Veil of Potential Confusion, DMS and DRS models are in all respects identical save for color scheme: DRS flies the Dalbello flagship green (visible from space) while DMS offers the much muted alternative of basic black with a bit of green trim. The reason DMS matters is it’s the only iteration made in a women’s model, the DRS W 100, a strong boot for the gal with a low-volume foot.
