The descendant is the first boot full tilt has designed from the ground up and while the descendant sticks close to its classic three piece roots this isn t your grandpa s ski boot.
Full tilt ski boots review.
These are a fairly low volume boot.
It has several performance updates and a new shell that caters to wider feet.
I found the weight fit and feel of the full tilt high five boots very similar to boots in the dalbello line up which is only natural given their similar design constitution.
I have the full tilt konflict which are just a dressed up classic.
The full tilt descendant 8 had the best fit out of the box plus the flexon construction is consistently predicable in terms of on hill performance.
We re excited to get more time on it and to compare it to the current crop of 50 50 boots out there.
Line and full tilt products made in china versus dalbello made in italy is kind of the deal breaker for me.
I changed my tongue from the stock 6 to a 10 flex.
While it s not the lightest 50 50 boot on the market it does a better job of maintaining its inbounds performance on the descent than most of its competitors.
Full tilt s first foray into touring boots is remarkably functional.
On the fit side there was ample room in the toe box and a footbed that actually gave some arch support right out of the box.
