Aside from this nifty top buckle design, the TLT X also features a thin booster strap (that can be removed, if you prefer more efficiency) and a bottom BOA system that cranks down over the instep in an effort to keep the heel locked in.

This is actually Dynafit’s own take on the popular BOA system which gives the user the option of being able to precisely tighten the dial. We like that it gives you the chance to wind the dial back a few clicks (rather than the setup with the BOA system where you have to release it all to reduce the pressure).

Taking a look at the liner, this is, quite unsurprisingly, a simple and lightweight affair. You’ve got what Dynafit are calling their ‘Dynafitter 5’ liner, which is made up from pretty thin Ultrathon foam to keep the weight down while still retaining decent levels of downhill performance.

The whole shell is made up from the industry’s go-to material for producing lightweight ski touring boots – Grilamid. Grilamid is able to back up some great levels of performance at an extremely low weight. While the material can’t be moulded easily, the 100 mm last of the TLT X might help to alleviate any potential fit issues.

Who Is The Dynafit TLT X For?

All of the above combines to produce a boot that’s extremely capable on the skin track. The single action ski / hike mode makes for really simple transitions without, thankfully, becoming an absolute menace on the downhill. Dynafit are really showing their experience in creating lightweight, yet capable, touring boots with the new TLT X. We like it a lot.
