Friendlier Firebird

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

    If the World Cup-calibre Firebird WC boots are the level of performance you want but you don’t have the masochism to shove your feet into them—grinding is mandatory—Tecnica now has a friendlier option, the Firebird R collection. The six-boot family retains nearly the same racecourse build, precision fit (a comparatively generous 96mm last and extra low-volume liner) and four-buckle closure. With flexes ranging from 140 to 60, there’s one for every racer in the family. From $450; tecnicausa.com

Ryan Stuart has a ski for every possible condition and a jacket to match. Well maybe not quite, but the magazine’s Technical Editor has more than enough of both and can’t wait to test out whatever is coming next. When he’s not testing skis or writing the buyer’s guides, you can’t find him exploring his bumpy backyard on Vancouver Island. @ryan_adventures
