Tecnica Mach1 HV 120 Ski Boots 2024

COMFORT + PERFORMANCE = Mach1 120 HV

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

Tecnica's Mach1 120 HV is the wider, higher volume version of the super popular Mach1 120 MV.  Sharing all the same technology just on a platform that is friendlier for skiers who want a more comfort oriented fit, have bigger feet or higher insteps.  The HV shell is also a tad more forgiving on the inside of the foot around the ankle bone than the MV shell. Though the fit is more forgiving the performance is top notch just like the other Mach1 boots.  This wasn't the case in the older HVL ski boots the predecessor's to the HV shell.  We're a fan, they ski well, are warm, and are a breeze to do custom work on. 

How's the fit? The Mach1 120 HV is a wider fitting 103 mm last and it also feels long for it's size.  More forgiving on top of the instep than most 103 mm lasts, but precise in the heel. The heel is on the snug side for how voluminous the rest of the fit is.
