Dalbello DRS 130 Ski Boots 2017

NOW THAT'S A HEEL POCKET.

When you try on a set of Dalbello's the first thing you notice is how much the shell contours the natural shape of the foot, it feels right.  Dalbello's DRS is there 2nd generation race boot replacing the Scorpion series.  The DRS 130 is more solid feeling boot with a much better flex pattern than the Scorpion, it's more progressive and is a true 130 flex.  The boots do feel stiffer laterally than the previous rendition allowing you to push your skis harder and faster getting every morsel of power out of them.  Regardless of the hardwood your skis are made and how many sheets of metal they are laid up with, you'll be able to steer the skis with out issue.

Forward Flex / Boot Fit

A smooth 130 flex that doesn't have any hint of blocking as you drive your kneed forward.  The fit is snug and precise but with a large toe box.  I measure a 27.5, normally ski a 26.5 and could ski this in a 25.5 with a little boot work -- it runs big, a unique characteristic for a race boot.

Liner

DB Comp - 80% of the foam in the liner is thermomoldable.  As far as a race liner goes for a boot this is more comfort oreinted than the Lange RS or Head Raptor liner.  

Buckles

4 Micro-Adjustable Buckles - All of the buckles on the DRS 130 are micro adjustable so you can dial in the fit to your liking.  

Additional Awesomeness

Double Canting Adjustment - Improperly aligned canting can cause severe discomfort, and make it feel unnatural to run your skis flat. You don't have to tolerate that.

40 mm with Cam Lock - As opposed to a traditional velcro strap boots the cam-lock 40mm strap will allow you to get the upper cuff snugger.  Snugger fit at the top = better energy tramsmission to the skis.
