Tecnica Cochise HV 130 Ski Boots 2025

UNIT STATUS.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Tecnica Cochise 130 is one of the most popular alpine touring boots on the market, and now it comes in a fit for skiers with wider feet; finally. It's powerful enough to handle aggressive skiing in the resort while being wide enough to accommodate wider foot shapes; ski boots do not need to be uncomfortable. At a 130 flex, the Cochise offers good rebound and stiffness to be pushed hard and to push burlier skis around the hill. For an alpine touring boot, the Cochise is never out of place at the resort while still being more than capable in the backcountry. For advanced skiers looking for "one boot to do it all," the Cochise is one of the best. When you are out there touring in this boot you can tell it isn't the lightest thing out there, but the external walk mode, lighter construction than a true alpine boot, and a few other touring features make the Cochise 130 an efficient tool for short ascents on touring bindings or even quick boot packs to terrain you can't access via chairlift. If you're an advanced or aggressive skier with wider feet but still need solid downhill performance with the ability to go touring, the Cochise HV 130 should be on your radar.
