- Tecnica Men's Cochise HV 120 Ski Boots Green by Tecnica — Hybrid Alpine/Touring Boot With A Stiff Flex & High Volume Fit. <br>
<br>
Tecnica is well known as one of the best high volume boot manufacturers on the market. <br>
<br>
The wide toe box, calf, & heel pocket are ideal for people who need the most generous boots.<br>

The 120 flex is very comparable to a 130 - this is not a number that has a control across brands, it's relative, and you'll find the Tecnica 120 is similiar to the Atomic 130, especially because this particular boot offers a locking hike mechanism, giving it a stronger backbone than most touring skis. <br>
