The Mach1 Pro W LV is built in conjunction with Tecnica’s Women to Women initiative, a project that seeks to better understand the female anatomy as it relates to ski equipment and develop an engaged community of female skiers around the world. Utilizing findings from the Cerism University Research Center, the boot is built with a 12-degree forward lean and three millimeter higher back spine than previous Tecnica models to better adhere to the natural stance of women to reduce fatigue and improve balance. A customizable upper cuff allows the volume to be increased by 10 percent or decreased by five percent for the best possible fit. The lower cuff is scallop shaped (i.e. curved) to provide better fit for a variety of lower leg shapes. To round it out, a 115 flex rating satisfies the most aggressive shredders and a Merino wool liner boosts warmth and combats odor.
