The Dynafit Tigard 130 is a men’s freeride ski boot built for riders who want a mix of downhill performance and a manageable weight on the skin track. With a flex rating aimed at those who push their limits in varied terrain, it’s made to give you the responsiveness needed when dropping into steep lines or charging through mixed snow.

Featuring a 101 mm last and a mid-volume fit, this boot sits on the narrower side of mid-volume options, offering a snuger hold around the foot without feeling pinched. The 130 flex index makes the shell stiffer, so when you edge into turns at speed you get more counter-pressure and direct power transfer to the ski. Weighing in at 1,590 g, it strikes a balance between the heft of a full-on alpine boot and the lightness sought by ski tourers who still demand serious downhill control.

A flex of 130 places this model firmly in the performance category, meaning the cuff resists forward flex to give better feedback on hard snow and at high speed. The 101 mm last refers to the width of the shell at the forefoot, measured in millimetres, which affects how tightly the boot wraps your foot: narrower lasts deliver a closer fit and more precise steering. At just under 1.6 kg per boot, the Tigard 130 offers a weight that helps reduce fatigue on long approaches without sacrificing downhill rigidity.
