K2 Recon 130 MV, skiboots, men, orange

The K2 Recon series is an award-winning series from K2. It's a ski boot just waiting to be tested in the snow! Normally performance boots are heavy and bulky, but with the Recon 130, K2 has managed to make a powerful and stable ski boot with a low weight. Ski boots get better and better year after year, and today it's possible to produce ski boots where you still get plenty of power without weighing a ton.

If you're looking for power, performance and low weight, this is the boot for you! It's perfect for hitting the groomed slopes at 8:30 am, as well as when you head out into the more groomed and heavy slush/pudder/humps at the end of the day. It's a versatile boot that responds when you push it, without being so stiff that you can't control it. On K2's own FLEX/FEEL scale where 1 is Playfull and 10 is Precise, this is a 7, which means you get a boot with high comfort and a quick response.

The Recon weighs only 1650 grams, which is among the lightest in its category. This is due to K2's Powelite Shell technology, which is made up of 4 different TPU materials, with the strongest materials used where there is the most pressure/need, and thinner materials used where you want the boot to be softer. The engineers have analyzed where you need the most/least material on the boot, thus removing unnecessary weight. The ski boot is easy to get into as they used a light TPU material around the instep for easy entry, but at the same time it feels solid when you lean forward with your shin.

The boot has a myriad of features, including 4 powerful buckles plus a 45 mm Ripcord Power Cinch Strap that moves all your energy from the shin down into the ski. Last but not least, it comes with a Precisionfit Pro Liner (inner boot) for a tight fit. The boot will fit snugly around your foot, giving you the best possible comfort and control. The liner adapts to your foot, so after just 2-3 days you'll notice increased comfort and a liner that fits your foot like a glove.

The boot is made with a GripWalk sole, which makes it easy to walk in as you get more angle/bend under the sole than a normal ski boot and you will therefore walk more normally. Grip Walk also provides a good grip as the sole is coated with rubber, reducing the risk of slipping or falling.

Recon is a high-end ski boot that offers far better features than its price suggests.

This model comes with a flex of 130, which suits the skilled or heavy skier who wants to push the boot.
