Dynafit Hoji Pro Tour (2019)

Italian brand Dynafit worked with pro skier Eric Hjorleifson to create an innovative, hard- charging backcountry boot. In ski mode, the Hoji’s spoiler slides over the walk-mode hinge point, creating a nearly solid spine that skis extraordinarily well, especially considering its 55-degree range of motion in tour mode. The shark nose can be a nuisance (it doesn’t work with the SHIFT or any step-in crampons), but it does increase touring efficiency.
