When we described Tecnica’s 2014 100mm boot for women, the Demon 105W, as “a fortress,” we weren’t being complimentary. Mercifully, the Mach 1 W MV models address our principal gripe, that the foot and the shell were too disconnected in the Demon W. One of the virtues of the C.A.S. liner, standard equipment on the 105W and 95W models, is to give the inner boot the same defined, anatomical contours as the shell, tightening the linkage between skier, shell and snow.
Advanced women skiers with problematic pedal extremities should give a gander at the medium-lasted Mach 1 W MV in its stiffer incarnations. The C.A.S. customization tools these boots put at the disposal of the veteran bootfitter create a lot of options to cure chronic complaints. Of course even a great tool is only as great as the craftsman who wields it, so please click on the Find button, below, to locate both a Mach 1 W MV and a bootfitter with the savvy to optimize it for you.
