DetailsFull Tilt Descendant 8 Ski Boots 2020
The Full Tilt Descendant 8 Ski Boots could probably be called the "Ascendant 8" - it is essentially the same boot as the 10-flex Ascendant with a softer 8 flex tongue and no tech fittings. It still sports the relaxed 102 mm Evolution last, has the same shell and walk mode system, but substitutes in a Pro Intuition wrap liner instead of the lighter-weight touring liner found in the Ascendant. The "8" flex is arguably Full Tilt's best all-mountain flex, with a bit more give for those backcountry exploration days and deep snowpacks.
Product Details
Fit:
Last: 102 mm: Relaxed last for wider and higher volume feet and all-day comfort.
Evolution Shell: The Full Tilt Evolution Shell adds much needed depth to the Full Tilt line. Designed for those with a wider foot, the Evolution shell incorporates a higher volume fit and a 102mm last.
Moldable: Utilizing the QuickFit™ System, all Full Tilt boots – shells included – can be molded to the exact needs of your foot. Not all feet are the same; Full Tilt prides itself on creating boots that allow a
personalized, 1-to-1 fit experience.
Easy On/Off: The front of the shell opens a full 90º to slide your foot in and out with ease in all temperatures. Like putting on slippers!
Flex:
Flex: 8: Full Tilt's most popular freeride flex is suitable for strong and fast skiers.
Ribbed Tongue: 100% ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang!
Adjustable Flex: The boot’s flex is rated on a simple scale of 4-12 (12=stiffest). Change a boot’s flex by simply switching the tongue.
Liner:
Pro Liner | Responsive Power: The Pro Liner’s laminate is specifically engineered to provide the most energy transfer to the shell while maintaining warmth in a custom moldable fit.
Foam (Listed From Foot to Shell): 4mm Open Cell: Ensures warmth and comfort straight out of the box. / 2mm Intuition™ MD: Medium density and hardness for a solid balance of comfort and performance. / 7mm Intuition™ HD Foam: High density and firm for a responsive and efficient
transfer of energy.
Power Wrap: An additional layer of ergonomically shaped EVA is wrapped around the outside of the upper liner to increase energy transfer and
horsepower to the shell.
J-Bars: An additional j-shaped piece of foam is inserted internally on both sides of the ankle area to dramatically increase ankle hold down, to keep your feet perfectly in place for precise control.
Shell Materials & Design:
Shell and Cuff: Thermo Plastic Urethane
Tongue: Grilamid
Infinite Pivot: Unlike traditional designs, the rear cuff never bottoms out. It pivots infinitely forward with your calf for less shell distortion, no shin pain and more control.
Ski/Walk Mode:
Walk Mode: For hot laps on the skin track or dancing until last call in the bar. Flip the lever up to ascend with ease. And when it’s time to send it, flip the lever down, lock the cuff in place, and push into the fluid, progressive flex you’ve come to expect from Full Tilt.
Buckles:
Ladder Buckles: The ladder buckle features an intuitive, easy to remember, macro-size adjustment, plus a micro-twist for fine adjustment with a light, easy-to-handle aluminum lever.
45° Heel Lock: Keep heels where they belong. Placing the middle buckle at an optimal 45 degree angle creates a solid lock for the heel to
stay put when pressuring the tips and tails of the skis.
Power Strap:
Cinch Power Strap
Bootboard & Footbed:
Shock Absorber Boot Board: Soft rubber layer in the sole of the shell absorbs vibrations, impact and shock for a smooth ride.
Sole:
GripWalk Outsoles Equipped: Designed for better purchase on unstable & slippery terrain. The convex shape and ribbed tread add both comfort & grip for getting from house to hill to peak!
Mid-Grip: Whether you are climbing grated stairs or scrambling on top of a mountain, a dual material or single material mid-grip gives you the confidence to stay on your feet.
Replaceable ISO 5355 Dual Material Alpine Soles In Box
Additional Features:
Customizable: All parts are sold separately for unlimited personalization and repair using a standard Phillips head screwdriver.
