Not to condescend to the fairer sex, but women might well appreciate the Cochise W family more for its everyday convenience, comfort and performance properties than for any purported proficiency for traveling off-trail. (The same could be said for all of the 2018 Cochise models, men’s or women’s.)
Every member of this 3-model family is light, easy to walk around in, eminently fit-able to the female foot and more than capable of transmitting energy on any snow surface. All the substantial improvements applied to the men’s Cochise models last season are every bit as beneficial to womankind, particularly the more accurate fit and better edging properties. Women also benefit from Merino wool in the liner, a what’s-not-to-like enhancement, and a scalloped rear spine that won’t constrict the lower calf.
