Summary Takeaways
Recommendation: After spending 25+ days touring in the Radical Pro, this is an ideal boot for someone looking for the elusive one-quiver boot that prioritizes downhill performance while minimizing weight for the uphill
Fit: The Radical Pro is a high-volume boot that accommodates tall insteps. Narrower or average feet might swim in these boots, but as always, go to a boot fitter and try on a variety of boots to find what fits your feet
Uphill Performance: At 1400 grams (26.5 size), these boots generally fall in the “midweight” category for dedicated touring boots. I have no issues taking these boots on 3-4k verticle days
Downhill Performance: The downhill is where these boots shine. The 120 flex will support all your freeride desires. The flex feels very similar to that of a downhill boot
Ease of Transition: The “Hoji Lock” system, which combines the cuff closure, top buckle, and walk mode lever, has the potential to make transitions quick, but I often find myself still fiddling with the buckles to get the fit just right
