Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro vs Dynafit Radical
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Ski Touring Boots: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Zero G Tour Pro pairs the stiffest listed flex in this group with the lowest listed weight and the most cuff range of motion. The Radical gives up stiffness and weight for a wider 104 mm last and a lower price tier, which makes it the easier first touring boot.
Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro
Buy itA 130 flex touring boot that Tecnica lists at 1285 g with 65 degrees of cuff range of motion and a 99 mm last.
- Tecnica lists 1285 g, a 130 flex and 65 degrees of range of motion, the strongest mix of stiffness, weight and stride in this group.
- The sole is a glued-on Vibram touring sole to ISO 9523 with Dynafit tech inserts, so it suits tech bindings, and other bindings only where the binding maker lists ISO 9523.
- The C.A.S. shell and Quick Instep are designed for fit work, and the C.A.S. Ultralight liner carries a Recco reflector.
- It sits in the premium tier.
- The 99 mm MV touring last will feel tight for wide forefeet.
- Tecnica does not state which size the 1285 g figure refers to, so compare weights across brands with care.
Dynafit Radical
Buy itAn all-round touring boot with a 110 flex, a 104 mm last, 60 degrees of cuff rotation and an ISO 9523 sole.
- The 104 mm last is the widest in this group, which helps skiers whose feet do not fit narrow touring shells.
- Dynafit lists 60 degrees of cuff rotation, a walk release on the forward lean and its Quick-Step-In boot-binding system.
- The UNI EN ISO 9523 sole marking and Pomoca Climb (TOUR) sole make it a straightforward match for touring bindings that accept that standard.
- At a listed 1520 g it is heavier than the Tecnica, partly because Dynafit uses PU for the shell and cuff.
- A 110 flex will feel soft to heavy or aggressive skiers on big skis.
- It uses a velcro power strap and the simpler HOJI Single Lock, where the Radical Pro steps up to a stiffer, lighter build.
