Dalbello Panterra 120 ID Ski Boots 2018

Dalbello Panterra 120 ID Ski Boots 2018

ADJUSTABLE WIDTH. HIKE, CLIMB, SHRED!

The Dalbello Panterra 120 ID was made popular because of it's amazing fit that didn't sacrifice performance, a stellar hike mode, ID Intuition Liner and Dalbello's proven cabrio shell. Yea, there are a lot of amazing ski boots coming out, but the Panterra 120 ID is the front runner for mid-wide fits, that's for sure!  Dalbello makes efficient ski boots, what that means for the skier wearing them is that they have to do less to get the same result; you'll be less sore and you'll have more fun.  The Panterra 120 ID is ideal for skiers with higher insteps that feel as though they always have to unbuckle their ski boots when they finish the run, the reason they are better for high insteps is due to the cabrio shell construction – it doesn’t wrap, think taco vs burrito.  Kind of a weird comparison but by not having it wrap on top your foot has some breathing room.  What is the downside to this?  Well performance wise there isn’t one, but if you have a really low volume foot the Panterra 120 might not fit snug enough.  This is one of our favorite boots and now for 2018 it’s even lighter.

Forward Flex / Boot Fit

Forward flex of 120 and an adjustable boot last of 100 - 102 mm.

Cabrio Design - 3 Piece Shell - A Cabrio designed shell makes the boots extremely strong torsionally, while providing a smooth consistent flex pattern. The increased support around the skier's foot and leg helps to maximize energy transmission and response.

Contour 4 - Dalbello is basically pre-stretching the ski boots to ensure instant comfort. They use inner boot foot mapping in four critical fit areas for an incredible out-of-box fit.

Center Balanced "Rocker" Stance - With most of today's skis having a rockered profile, the new stance allows the skier to center their body mass of the ski's sweet spot. This provides more control, power and super easy turn initiation.

VVF System, Variable Volume Fit - This unique technology gives the skier the ability to control the width of their boots. The toe buckle actually changes the boot last from 100mm-102mm by adjusting the tension. The tighter you buckle the more snug the overall fit becomes, and vice versa.

Liner

I.D. Thermo Now Liner -  This is a full-wrap heat moldable liner. Designed with 100% Custom Ultralon EVA Foam, this liner provides you with the comfort, performance and customization. This liner is NOT body heat activated and it really needs to be heat molded on a Dalbello Intuition heater before use -- otherwise you will have a much longer break-in process.

Buckles

4 Aluminum Micro-adjustable Buckles - Super durable with micro adjust. These really help you to dial in your fit.

Dynalink Retention System

Dynalink - A closure system that keeps the skier's foot from sliding around, and keeps the skier's heel locked into the heel pocket. This increases control and responsiveness.

Ski / Hike

Ski Hike Mode - Dalbello's ski/hike function is lightweight and super easy to use. It is also combined with a two position adjustable flex, for the ultimate in range of motion whether hiking, walking for shredding.

Additional Awesomeness

Hy-Grip Rubber Toe/Heel - Maximum grip on the slickest of surfaces.

Adjustable Canting - Allows for the alignment of the boot's cuff and the skier's lower leg.

Rubber Clad Hike Sole - A full rubber arch provides traction while hiking or climbing to your destination.

Adjustable Heel Inclinator - You can change the foot angle, by raising or lowering the inner heel. This can add ankle comfort, as well as help with quickness and response.
