K2 Recon 120 BOA Ski Boots 2024

GHOST PROTOCOL.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The new K2 Recon 120 BOA is a step forward in ski boot technology. Before we get into the BOA tech on this boot, let's cover the bases. This is a 120 flex ski boot that is more than powerful enough to drive any ski pretty efficiently without being so stiff that they're unforgiving or uncomfortable to ski in all day if performance isn't at the top of your priority list. Intermediate skiers looking to progress out of rentals or experts who don't need the stiffest boots... this is a solid option. The major change here is obvious, gone are the traditional buckles on the lower part of the shell and now we have a BOA closure. Gonna be honest here and say we were skeptical of BOA on boots when the ideas were pitched to us, but wow, the BOA closure is actually sick. Different from a traditional 4 Buckle boot, the BOA closure allows for such a fine-tuned fit and feel on the sides and top of your foot. It offers a more even wrap, and even pressure is the name of the game in a ski boot.
