Today, as it was more than 30 years ago, our approach to addressing the needs of skiers is exactly the same as it was at that time. We are deeply committed to helping skiers to ski better and have more fun. We strive to build the highest quality ski boots; boots that look great and fit great and are loaded with authentic performance features to make them ski great. This commitment has made Dalbello one of the fastest growing ski boot brands in the world. page Choosing Dalbello PERFORMANCE GROUP POSITIONING Dalbello builds skiboots for skiers of all performance and skill levels. Performance and fit characteristics are carefully enginereed into each Dalbello skiboot, and are a function of design, architecture, last shape, and dynamic flexing characteristics. Refer to the chart below to select the Dalbello ski boot performance group that is appropriate for your type of skiing.

The more you know about your customers; their skill level, level of physical fitness, feet type, physical attributes, prior boot fitting problems, general knowledge of ski equipment, commitment to the sport, future goals, etc., the easier, faster, and more efficiently it will be for you to choose a suitable ski boot for them. Start by learning as much as you can about your customers: Ask questions about their skiing skills: 1. How well do you ski? 2. Where do you ski and how many days per year do you ski? 3. Do you ski fast? Moderate speeds? Slow? 4. Which types of terrain do you prefer? Groomed, Powder, Hardpack, Moguls, Off Piste, Park & Pipe? 5. Do you, or will you, take ski lessons? Ask questions about their ski equipment: 1. What kind of boots do you presently use? How old are they? 2. Why are you shopping for new ski boots? 3. What kind of skis do you presently use? Probe for additional information: 1. Do you have problems with your feet? 2. Do you have problems buying other kinds of footwear? 3. Are you athletic? Do you participate in other sports? 4. How much money do you plan to spend on new ski boots? 5. Do you use orthotics or custom insoles? Measure and observe your customer’s feet and lower legs to determine: Foot length: Measure both feet Foot width: narrow, average, or wide? Instep height: High/Average/Low? Arch: Average Height/Flat Foot? Calf width? Thin, Average, Large, Extra Large? Are there any protruding bones or bone spurs? Advice from the professionals Following are some simple tips to help you develop and improve your skills as a professional bootfitter/boot seller. Conducting yourself professionally in front of your customers is a very positive reflection on you and your expertise, as well as on the quality and professionalism of your store. Skier’s prefer to do business with professionals. Know your inventory Familiarize yourself every ski boot brand and model sold by your store. Try on evey ski boot you sell. Know which boot models are best suited for different skier types and foot shapes. Before you recommend a particular ski boot model and size, be sure you know that it is in your store’s inventory. Limit the number of ski boot models you recommend Customers become confused when, in their selection process, they try on too many ski boots. You will most likely close the sale if you limit the number of ski boot models you recommend to 2 or 3 MAXIMUM. Make sure the size you have selected is correct The most important service you can perform for your customer is to make sure you select and sell that customer the correct size ski boot for his/her foot. It is estimated that 60% of all ski boots sold are between 1 - 3 sizes TOO BIG!!! Boots that are too big do not provide the proper support for responsiveness and control. The innerboot materials have a tendency to break down (compress) very quickly due to the excess foot movement within the boot. Boots that are too big must be buckled tighter than boots that fit correctly. Overtightening” produces uncomfortable, aching, cold feet. Make sure your customer is wearing the appropriate ski sock Ski socks should be light to medium weight, wrinkle free, and, ideally, a woven blend of synthetic and/or natural fibers. They are designed to wick moisture away from the skin in order to keep the foot dry and warm. Socks should fit snugly and comfortably around the foot and over the leg calf. Most skiers find that ski boots fit better and are warmer when they are warn with only one ski sock. 5 page Selling Skills Advice from the professional Describe to your customer how a new ski boot should feel You should prepare your customer for what he/she is about to feel BEFORE the ski boot is tried on. New ski boots should feel comfortable and snug. When the knee is flexed forward, the heel should stay in the heel pocket of the boot. It is normal to feel the front of the boot when standing upright, but the toes will pull back when the boot is buckled and the knee is flexed forward. The multi density foam fit materials in Dalbello boots are sensitive to body heat and pressure from the foot contours. They will conform to the foot after the boot has been on the foot for 5 - 7 minutes. If a minor pressure point is initially felt, it will usually disappear within that time. The foot should be held firmly without the need to tighten the buckles excessively. A good fit should originate from the shape of the boot matching the shape of the foot. For TRUFIT model fitting, refer to page 10, “TRUFIT Custom Fit System Procedures”. Explain how all features, adjustments, and mechanisms function Make sure you take the time to fit both boots to your customer. Use the time you have to explain the buckle adjustments, and other personalization mechanisms (forward lean, flex control, walk/ski, canting, etc.) Try to answer your customer’s questions with simple explanations. Explain how ski boots should be cared for Be sure to avoid walking excessively on hard or abrasive surfaces in ski boots. Otherwise, damage to the bootsole can occur over time. Ski Boots should be cleaned ONLY with water and a mild detergent. Cleaning with other chemicals can damage the boot. Dry the boots after each use. If excessively wet inside, the innerboots may be removed for faster drying. Avoid drying boots near radiators, fireplaces, microwave ovens, or any other sources of direct or excessive (above 45°C/110°F) heat. Explain how ski boots should be stored at the end of the season Make sure the entire ski boot is clean and dry....inside and out. Over a long period of time, moisture contained in the innerboots can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and other kinds of bacteria. Remove the liner. Clean it and dry it. Put it back into the shell making sure that it is inserted correctly, and that the tongue is not twisted. Buckle the boots up with buckles under loose tension. Close the Velcro powerstrap (loosely). This will keep the shell plastic in the proper alignment to close around your foot and lower leg the next time you wear the boots. Store the boots in a cool, dry, and dark place. Do not leave them in a place where small animals or insects may be able to nest in them. FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) How can I verify that the ski boot size I have selected is correct ? All Dalbello ski boots are built on the MONDOPOINT sizing scale. Mondopoint sizes can be converted to correspond closely to European, UK, and USA sizes. Check the “SKIBOOT SIZING CONVERSION TABLE” on page 31 of the Technical Manual for more information. Size numbers are, unfortunately, only a starting point for selecting the correct size. There is a commonly used method, or technique, in ski boot fitting to verify whether the ski boot size you have selected will match the foot you are trying to fit. That method is referred to as ‘SHELL SIZING”. Most boot fitting professionals will check “SHELL SIZING” before fitting the ski boot to the customer’s foot. How can I avoid getting cold feet? 1) Make sure your boots are dry at the beginning of each ski day. Remove wet innerboots at night to dry them, but NEVER DRY INNERBOOTS ON A RADIATOR, FIREPLACE, OR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF EXCESS HEAT. Consider using a boot drying appliance such as the Therm-IC® Boot Dryer. 2) Avoid wearing multiple pairs of socks. One pair of high performance, technical ski socks is sufficient. 3) If your foot perspires excessively, change into a dry pair of socks at midday. 4) To keep your feet warm and dry, always wear clean socks. The moisture wicking function of the socks is best when they are clean. 5) Have your boot fit checked by an expert. Too big? Too small? Pressure Points ? Is the blood circulation being restricted? Consider a custom footbed.. 6) Install an electronic insole footwarmer, such as those available from Therm-IC®. Dalbello’s “Fit for Women” program features ski models that have been specifically engineered for women. How are Dalbello women’s ski boots different from Dalbello men’s ski boots? All Dalbello boots “Fit For Women” feature the following women’s only characteristics: 1) All women’s model cuffs are injected with softer, more flexible plastics 2) Women’s Krypton, Electra, and Raya models feature unique cuff geometries that are lower in overall height than men’s cuffs in corresponding models. 3) All Dalbello women’s innerboots are lower in overall height than men’s innerboots. 4) All Dalbello women’s innerboots are lasted for women’s feet. They are narrower in the rearfoot, and have a more extreme taper angle from forefoot to rearfoot. 5) All womens innerboots are constructed with more padding to reduce volume, accommodate lower volume feet, and add insulation. 6) Women’s models in Raya and Aspire series feature boot top circumference expansion adjustability. 6 page UNDERSTANDING DALBELLO SKI BOOT ARCHITECTURE & TECHNOLOGY There are three basic ski boot construction architectures: Overlap (2 Piece), Cabrio (3 Piece) and Rear Entry. Different architectures are selected by ski boot designers for the different performance characteristics, different fit and foothold characteristics, and different convenience characteristics they feature. Dalbello produces ski boots that incorporate all three construction technologies. CABRIO DESIGN 3 Piece Overlap Cabrio Design - 3 Piece Overlap Construction WHAT IS IT? Cabrio Design is a ski boot design architecture that that incorporates 3 structural elements - (1) lower shell, (2) upper cuff and, (3) external shell tongue - in its structure. Developed for its fitting versatility, easy handling, and dynamic performance advantages with modern ski shapes. Since 1995, Dalbello has been the industry’s leading manufacturer of 3 Piece Cabrio Design technology ski boots. WHAT DOES IT DO? Modern shaped skis are more responsive and easier to turn than old style long, “straight skis”. Modern skis respond to very subtle and precise changes in angulation, edge pressure, and steering forces. Modern shaped skis are more dynamic than old style skis, requiring a ski boot that has strong side-to-side stability along with smooth and progressive flexibility in the forward direction. Modern skis, for most skiers, do not respond favorably to high quantities of force and pressure that are typically characteristic of more traditional design ski boots. Cabrio Design technology ski boots give skiers the optimal combination of support, stability, balanced stance, powerful edging control, and dynamic response. HOW DOES IT FUNCTION? Cabrio Design permits the use of stiffer and more rigid plastics in the lower shell. This strengthens the support around the foot and lower leg providing quick response and precise transfer of power to the ski edges. This design also prevents the lower shell from distorting and bulging as the boot flexes, making the boot more smooth and stable at high speeds and on irregular terrain. Smooth and progressive forward flex is precisely controlled using an external shell tongue. Changing dynamic flex and performance is controlled by simply changing tongue material and geometry, or by limiting the forward movement of the boot cuff with the flex adjustment mechanism. Only Cabrio Design ski boots feature such rigid and precise lateral support while at the same time providing a smooth and progressive flex. Cabrio Design technology also has a greater degree of fitting versatility than traditional ski boots. Cabrio Design is able to adapt to a wider variety of feet shapes and instep heights than conventional ski boots due the “open throat” lower shell/shell tongue construction. CLASSIC DESIGN 2 Piece Overlap Classic Design - 2 Piece Overlap Construction WHAT IS IT? Classic 2 Piece Overlap design ski boots are the industry’s most common design construction. 2 Piece overlap skiboots (sometimes referred to as “shellfit” boots) incorporate two structural elements - (1) a lower shell with overlapping and underlapping flanges that “wrap” to adapt to different volume feet and feet shapes securing the lower foot inside the ski boot, and (2) an upper cuff with over and underlapping flanges which, when closed, secure the lower leg and ankle inside the ski boot. WHAT DOES IT DO? Structurally, 2 piece overlap ski boots are simple constructions that are highly variable in volume. They are simple to open and close and are designed to hold the skier’s foot and leg in a strong and balanced stance position, permitting energy and leverage to be transferred from the skier’s feet and legs to the skis for performance and and control. HOW DOES IT WORK? The “overlapping” function of the 2 piece design allows the over and underlapping flanges of the shell and cuff to slide across one another when the buckles are tightened, therby adapting the volume of the shell and cuff to the individual skier’s foot and lower leg.Dynamic function in these designs is regulated by changing structural design elements (cuff and shell angle, cuff height, height of lower shell sidewalls, plastic stiffness, innerboot designs and constructions. Dynalink - Rearfoot Retention System WHAT IS IT? Dynalink is an independently functioning heel/instep closure band assembly that secures the skiers foot in the middle and rearfoot sections of the ski boot. KRYPTON AXION & RAYA WHAT DOES IT DO ? Dynalink holds the skiers foot securely toward the rear part of the ski boot. During boot flex, the Dyanlink band does not permit the foot to slide forward or the heel to lift inside the boot shell. The closure system prevents the lower shell from bulging and distorting when the boot is flexed forward. Because the skier’s foot is held more securely, high speed stability and control over the skis on irregular and difficult terrain are improved. HOW DOES IT FUNCTION? Dynalink band (plastic closure strap) is fixed to the lower shell at, or near, the inside (medial) cuff hinge. The Dynalink closure buckle, on the lateral side, is attached to the lower shell (instead of cuff). Both closure band and buckle are fixed in position on the lower shell when the Dynalink assembly is closed. Neither component is permitted to move, either forward or up and down, with the boot cuff as the boot is flexed. The foot is, therefore, securely held in position and can not lift of slide during skiing. This assembly also prevents the boot from bulging and distorting during skiing. 7 page Dalbello offers a wide variety of last shapes and fitting volumes to suit skiers of all different performance levels. Last shapes Dalbello offers 4 different last shapes to accomodate different feet shapes with varying degrees of foot retention to perfectly match the performance and comfort requirements of different skiers. Last shape numbers refer to straight line measurement in millimeters inside the boot shell across the forefoot. In general, lower volume lasted boots (measurements 100 mm) fit very closely to the foot and use thinner innerboots. Their precise and sensitive fit provides very quick power transfer to the ski. Because the fit is less forgiving, lower volume lasted boots require more time to fit than higher volume boots. Higher volume lasted boots ( 104 mm) have more space inside the shell, permit the use of more cushioned innerboots, and are designed for abundant cushioned comfort. 98 mm Last 101 mm Last Lowest overall volume last in Dalbello collection. Precise and accurate fit. Envelopes the anatomic contours of the foot and lower leg for maximum foot retention with enhanced sensitivity and responsiveness. New last shape for serious performance oriented skiers. Slightly more forefoot and ankle volume than Krypton (98mm) provides a versatile and comfortable fit. Strong foothold with balanced stance angle keeps the foot relaxed and stable at a wide variety of speeds. Proton/ Electra Krypton 103 mm Last 105 mm Last Extremely versatile fitting last combines an expanded volume forefoot and toe box area with a close fitting rearfoot and ankle area. Comfortably accommodates a wide range of foot shapes with max foothold and exceptional comfort. Dalbello’s most accommodating fit last provides immediate and enduring comfort. Extra shell-fit volume fits wide feet comfortably and permits the use of softer cushioning and insulating materials in the innerboot.

To insure that heating temperatures and times are correct and consistent for TRUFIT Custom Fit boot models, we recommend ONLY the Therm-IC FITSYSTEM heating device, or the INTEC LH-3 Heat Machine. DO NOT USE: OVENS, HEAT GUNS, HAIR DRYERS, or FORCED HOT AIR SYSTEMS not designed for TRUFIT boots, as they may damage the innerboot materials. Dalbello assumes no responsibility for damage to TRUFIT innerboots caused by improper heating, or heating with equipment not recommended by Dalbello. ANY HEATING PROCEDURES PERFORMED ON TRUFIT BOOTS WITH HEATING EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN THAT RECOMMENDED BY DALBELLO IS PERFORMED AT THE SHOP’S OWN RISK. WARNING about heating Junior P6 Comp with TRUFIT innerboots Junior P6 Comp uses a unique TRUFIT innerboot construction that required less heat to mold than adult TRUFIT innerboots. Excessive heat will damage the innerboot. DO NOT HEAT JUNIOR P6 COMP BOOTS WITH INTEC LH-3 Heat Machine. HEAT JUNIOR P6 COMP ONLY WITH THE Therm-IC FITSYSTEM. USE HEAT SETTING 1 FOR 10 MINUTES. Follow all other fitting procedures below. Overview of TRUFIT Heating Procedure NOTE: HEATING PROCEDURE TEMPERATURE AND TIME ARE IDENTICAL FOR ALL TRUFIT MODELS 1. The TRUFIT Heating procedure will require approximately 20 minutes time from start to finish. 2. The Therm-IC® FITSYSTEM Heating Device warms the ULTEVA foam material (Ceramic and/or Classic) inside the innerboot to the appropriate temperature for custom forming around the contours of the customer’s foot. 3. Though the boot feels hot to touch, there is no discomfort and no physical danger. 4. After the boots have finished their heating cycle, you have approximately 1 - 2 minutes to put the boots on the customer’s feet. 6. ULTEVA foam molds to the foot and then cools very quickly. After standing in the boots and flexing gently for 5 - 6 minutes, the TRUFIT fitting procedure will be finished. TRUFIT boots are ready for skiing immediately after the procedure has been finished. 6. In case of a mistake or problem during heating or fitting, it is possible to repeat the heating procedure up to 3 times. Therm-IC® Fitsystem Operation The Therm-IC® FITSYSTEM features two conical air flow tubes that direct the warm air into the ski boot. The air flow tubes may be rotated 360° around the the main electrical casing unit and, the tubes are designed to stop at 90° intervals. Do not attempt to “spread open” the air flow tubes. When rotating, make sure the tubes are parallel to the main electrical casing unit. 1. Plug in the power cord. 2. Place ski boots on a horizontal surface (NOTE: it is NOT necessary to remove the innerboots or the innersoles from the innerboots for this procedure. Position the air flow tubes in the ski boots (as shown in photo) so that the air flow tube cones are seated as deeply into the boot as possible. Gently close the buckles on the boot cuff to hold the air flow tubes in place. Make sure that the air intake holes (visible hole on the top of the air flow tube cone) are not blocked, covered, or in any other way obstructed. 3. Switch on the device (I = on, 0 = off) 4. Select HEAT SETTING 2 - The Therm-IC® FITSYSTEM features two programmed heat/time cycles. HEAT SETTING 2 is a 15 minute “high heat” cycle used for TRUFIT models. This setting is activated by pressing the RED button which illuminates a RED LIGHT during the cycle. HEAT SETTING 1 is a 10 minute “warm/dry” cycle functioning at a lower temperature. It is activated by pressing the YELLOW button which illuminates an ORANGE LIGHT during the cycle. HEAT SETTING 1 will NOT activate the thermomolding properties of TRUFIT innerboots. Dalbello assumes no responsibility for damage to ski boots caused by improper use of the Therm-IC® FITSYSTEM. 5. Do not leave the Therm-IC® FITSYSTEM unsupervised during the heating procedure. 6. After the heating cycle ends a 10 second series of “beeps” will sound and the heat supply and circulating fan will automatically shut off. Switch off the device and remove the tubes from the boots. Be careful to avoid touching the tubes, as they may be hot. 7. DO NOT IMMEDIATELY REPEAT THE HEATING PROCEDURE ON THE SAME PAIR OF BOOTS. Heating Skiboots with Custom Insoles/Orthotics Dalbello innersoles need not be removed from the innerboots for the heating procedure. In the event a replacement custom insole or orthotic device will be used, the standard equipment Dalbello insole should be removed before performing the heating procedure. In order to avoid heat damage to the replacement insoles or orthotic devices, we recommend performing the TRUFIT heating procedure without the insoles inside the innerboots. You may insert the replacement insoles into the boots immediately after the heating cycle has finished and before your customer puts on the boots. Dalbello assumes no responsibility for damage to insoles or orthotic devices due to excessive heat or other consequences of the TRUFIT thermomolding procedure. 10 page ID THERMO CUSTOM FIT LINERS ◘100% Custom Heat Moldable Ultralon® EVA foam ◘ Factory Pre-Formed for Try-On ◘ Extremely lightweight - 70% lighter than conventional liners ◘ Easy Entry Wrap Design -- No Tongue! ◘ Highly insulated - extremely Warm ◘ Waterproof ◘ Quick to dry when wet ◘ Highly resistant to compression, or “packing out” ◘ Uniform in density - no hard spots ◘ Non absorbent - resistant to taking odor ◘ Easy to clean ◘ Re-Moldable up to 4 Times ◘ Aegis™ Microbe Shield - Anti Microbial Treatment THERMO Custom Fit GOLD MODELS: Kr PRO ID (MS) - High Density (HD) Ultralon® Foam - Factory Pre-Formed for try-on - New “Toe Box” Construction - QuickWick Hi-Grip Nylon lining - AEPE PowerWrap Reinforcement - Extended Achilles Support Stay - Men’s/ Unisex Sizing 24 - 29.5 THERMO Custom Fit SILVER & Il Moro MODELS: Kr IL MORO ID(MS) Kr CROSS ID (MS) - Medium Density (MD) Ultralon® Foam - Factory Pre-Formed for try-on - New “Toe Box” Construction - Microfleece Lining - AEPE PowerWrap Reinforcement - Extended Achilles Support Stay - Men’s/Unisex sizing 24 - 29.5 I.D.

Close fitting. Quick. Responsive. Powerful. Krypton is Dalbello’s top performance series featuring World Cup Racing proven technology. What are the 5 key features of Krypton boots? 1. Cabrio Design - 3 Piece Overlap Construction Cabrio Design derives it name from its assembly architecture, which is completely open above the instep and in front of the tibia (open top = cabrio). Cabrio Design combines a shell/cuff/tongue assembly to complete the ski boot structure. This configuration permits the use of stiffer and thicker materials for the lower shell which amplify the skiers’ power, leverage, and energy to the ski permitting skiers to ski more powerfully and efficiently while expending less energy. The Krypton Cabrio Design also permits the cuff & tongue of the boot to move smoothly and consistently with the leg during forward flex, while lateral & medial support remain invariable (no shell bulge or distortion). The result: responsiveness, power, and stability with unmatched smoothness and shock absorption. 2. Dynalink Rearfoot Retention An independently functioning heel/instep closure strap (Dynalink Band) is fixed to the inside of the boot at the hinge rivet. On the lateral side of the boot, the buckle is mounted to the the lower boot shell instead of to the cuff, permitting the cuff to move independently of the buckle/band assembly. As the boot is flexed, foot hold is secure and lower bootshell distortion is minimized. Dynalink provides superior foothold to skiers with lower volume feet, and/or for skiers who prefer softer flexing boots that do not compromise positive foothold. 3. Kinetic Response Tongue External shell tongue that is constructed from a very resilient and responsive polyamide nylon material. The KR Tongue features two molded-in “flex ribs” that permit the tongue to close, adapt, and flex naturally with any instep height and/or leg calf circumference. Responsiveness and sensitivity are improved because the highly resilient “KR Tongue” always stays in direct contact with the skier’s shin through flexing movement.. 4. Highly Versatile Performance and Personalization Krypton models feature the most performance adustability and personalization of any high performance ski boots available. Forward flex control, forward lean control, dual axial canting, height adjustable rear cuff spoiler, interchangeable tongues, interchangeable footboards, modular arch support inserts. Krypton models also feature a completely modular design - the entire ski boot may be completely and easily disassembled to permit custom boot modifications, service, and repair. 5. TRUFIT & I.D THERMO Custom Fit Systems All Krypton models for men and women feature TRUFIT Custom Fit Innerboots. Three different TRUFIT Constructions are featured.

What are the 5 key features of Proton boots? 1. Classic Overlap Design - Traditional 4 Buckle Shellfit The most common ski boot construction architecture, Proton & Electra models feature a traditional 4 buckle closure overlap construction ski boot. Overlap Design refers to the functionality of the boot’s lower shell and upper cuff. Both structural components incorporate overlapping flanges, or panels, that slide across one another closing the boot around the foot when the boot buckles are tightened. Different feet shapes and volumes are comfortably accommodated by varying the closure volume of the plastic shell and cuff around the foot and lower leg. Classic Overlap ski boots are efficient constructions that provide an accurate and precise fit with exceptional power and control for the skier. 2. Bi-Injected Construction All Proton and Electra models feature high tech, state of the art, bi-injection technology that integrates two different density materials into a single structure. Flexible and resilient polyether plastic surrounds the foot. Its elastic wrapping properties provide shock absorption as well as uniform foot closure for a precise and comfortable fit. A harder polyurethane plastic surrounds and reinforces the softer “under shell” in the critical support zones, providing power, rigidity, and support for maximum performance and control. The result: a perfect blend of precise fitting power, comfort, and shock absorption. 3. Balanced Stance All Proton and Electra models feature a “new tech” relaxed stance featuring a lower heel and more upright cuff angle than that typically found in conventional high performance ski boots. This “new tech” balanced stance facilitates movement patterns that make skiing easier, less fatiguing, and more comfortable. This is the NEW stance geometry that better skiers have discovered makes their new skis perform better. 4. High Performance 101mm Last. Fits Medium Volume Feet Proton models for men feature Dalbello’s new 101 mm last; a modern last shape generous in forefoot volume for comfort, but featuring an extreme taper in the rearfoot for superior foothold and support. The fit and foothold is very versatile. Electra models for women feature Dalbello’s new, WOMEN’S SPECIFIC, performance last that is slightly lower in overall volume and height to accommodate the morphological differences in women’s feet and lower leg anatomy. 5. TRUFIT Custom Fit Systems All men’s and women’s Proton and Electra models are available with TRUFIT Custom Fit Innerboots.

Unique, however, is the 4 Factor System Technology. ONLY 4 BOOTSOLE LENGHTS are used for the entire series of boots. The foot is centered on all bootsoles. And, although there are only 4 bootsole lenght intervals for all sizes, the boots are perfectly balanced, both visually and functionally. Rental business is all about providing fast and efficient service to your “guests” who are waiting to go skiing. The advantage to using Vantage/ 4 Factor System ski boots in rental operations is that fewer bootsole lenghts mean fewer binding adjustments need to be made. The result: rental shops work faster and more efficiency with fewer adjustment errors. The average rental shop can service more customers in less time with fewer employees. Vantage boots are available in Steel Grey, Black/ Red and Silver. 4 Factor Bootsole lenghts are easily identifiable using a color coding i.d. system on the buckles, cuff graphics and boot soles: Orange, Purple, Blue and Green. Boot sizes and sole lenghts (mm)are clearly marked with LARGE, color coded graphics located on the cuff rear. In addition, Vantage boots feature binding adjustment letter graphics that coordinate with the adjustment coding system used on Elan® ESP and Tyrolia® Sympro rental system bindings.

Currently, however, no uniform system of flex measurement protocols has been adopted as “the standard” for all the different ski boot manufacturers. Flex index numbers within a specific manufacturer’s collection are relative to other boots in that manufacturer’s line, but have similar, but no precise direct comparison value to boots made by other manufacturers, even when they appear to use the same scale. The commonly used system of Flex Index values has recently become more indicative of ski boot performance and price positioning combined with the dynamic characteristics of boot flex.
