The Tecnica Decoy 130 GW is a freetouring boot for experienced skiers who want uncompromising performance both uphill and downhill. With a flex of 130 and a 99 mm last, it delivers power, precision, and stability for steep lines, wide skis, and high speeds, while offering an efficient walk mode for backcountry touring.
The medium-width last provides a snug and precise fit that ensures direct contact with the ski. Thanks to the stiff PU shell and high flex, you get fast power transfer and reliable control even in challenging snow conditions. Whether you are skiing powder, tracked-out snow, or harder surfaces, the boot feels stable and responsive.
At the same time, the Decoy 130 GW is built to perform on the way up. The well-thought-out construction allows for a natural range of motion during backcountry tours, helping you save energy for the descent. Furthermore, Quick Instep makes the boot easier to put on and take off, while the C.A.S. liner with Floating Tongue offers high comfort and a fit that can be customized to your foot.
Four micro-adjustable aluminum buckles, together with a 45 mm Power Lock Strap, hold the foot securely in place and provide uniform support around the leg. The Vibram® GripWalk® sole with integrated tech inserts also ensures secure grip while walking and compatibility with both GripWalk and tech bindings.
In short, the Tecnica Decoy 130 GW is an excellent choice for skilled skiers who want a powerful freetouring boot with the highest possible downhill performance without sacrificing the ability to go on long backcountry tours.
