Fit:
Last: 99 mm: Performance fit and above average instep height for average width feet.
evo Bootfitter's Notes: The 2017 Cochise lasts are a departure from the previous Cochise line. Gone are the different fits for the 130 flex and all the others; the entire Cochise line shares a brand new 99 mm last. Narrower in the midfoot and heel than any previous version, with reduced volume around the ankle and slightly lower instep, the new Cochise also has a less pointy toebox. The new polyether plastic punches well without the tendency to attract fingerprints that characterized older Tecnica Triax blends, and the C.A.S markings at typical problem areas (first and fifth met heads, navicular, styloid process) are quite accurate for most feet (care should be taken when punching at the bi-injection seams on the shell).
C.A.S. Shell: Custom Adaptive Shape shells are anatomically formed around the heel and problem areas at the factory. Common punch zones are plainly marked with a dot grid pattern on the shell, and the new polyether and Triax 3.0 shell materials offer improved stability when heated.
Quick Instep: A shaped plastic component at the instep that is softer than the rest of the shell helps you to step into and out of the ski boot.
C.A.S. Grindable Boot Board: The removable C.A.S. boot board offers plenty of thickness for grinding and a grid pattern for reference.
Women's Cuff: A lower, scallop shaped rear cuff and liner offer a better and more comfortable fit for a variety of lower leg shapes.
Flex:
Flex: 85: A medium-stiff flex for lighter skiers and those looking to step up their skiing.
Shell Materials & Design:
Power Light Design: Bi-injected polyether frame that is 30% thinner and 2.5 times stiffer than conventional boot material which results in 18% weight savings without loss in performance.
Shell: C.A.S. Bi-material polyether with co-molded softer Quick Instep insert for easy entry and exit.
Cuff: Triax 3.0 women's profile with 10 mm lower cuff height and scalloped rear.

Adjustable Cuff Alignment
Ski/Walk Mode:
Mobility Cuff Walk/Ski Mode: Tecnica's redesigned walk mode features a 42˚ range of leg movement, a super smooth pivot action, and metal-to-metal contact in the locking mechanism. The new S.A.S (Self-Adjusting System) tightens the locking action as the metal wears to eliminate play.
