Tecnica Cochise HV

HV stands for High Volume. This boot is built on a wider last, making it an excellent choice if you typically struggle with pressure points or tightness across the midfoot and forefoot in standard alpine boots.

Yes. The Cochise HV comes equipped with Gripwalk soles and integrated Low Tech inserts, meaning it is compatible with both standard alpine bindings and pin-style touring bindings.

The 55-degree range of motion provides a very natural, fluid stride that is significantly more comfortable than traditional alpine boots. While it won't replace a dedicated lightweight touring boot, it is more than capable for sidecountry missions and shorter backcountry tours.

A 120 flex is generally considered stiff and responsive, making it a great sweet spot for advanced skiers who want power transfer without the punishing rigidity of a race-level 130 or 140 flex boot.

The C.A.S. (Custom Adaptive Shape) liner is designed to be heat-moldable and punchable, allowing a boot fitter to customize the fit to your specific foot anatomy. It also features Celliant material, which helps regulate temperature and improve circulation.

At 1870 grams, the Cochise HV is relatively lightweight for a boot with this level of downhill performance. It strikes a functional balance, offering enough mass to dampen vibrations on hard snow while remaining light enough to avoid fatigue during longer days on the mountain.
