The new Head Kore RS 130 GW walks the fine line of backcountry slayer and inbounds driver. The Kore line received a total overhaul this year, with updates that include options for a 98- or 100-mm last, a new walk mode, tech inserts, open-lock buckles for climbing and additional rubber on the GripWalk sole. The updated hike/walk feature, with increased range of motion, also adds security to the 1664 g touring boot when skiing, since the previous model only locked the rearward mobility. This stiff-flexing boot is a great candidate for adventurous skiers given its variety of fits, sizes and lightweight and powerful graphene construction.
