The Advant Edge 85 X Women from Head is a women’s alpine ski boot designed to deliver reliable support and controlled performance on groomed slopes. It’s tailored for skiers who want a balance between comfort and responsiveness, making each turn feel precise without sacrificing all-day wearability.
