Full Tilt First Chair 8 Ski Boots 2017

When performance and power cannot be sacrificed, the First Chair 8 ski boot is the tool equipped to meet the challenges of the mountain, be it on-piste or out of bounds. This is the replacement model for the Konflict boot of the past, retaining all of it's great attributes but with a more affordable price. 

The First Chair 8 is built on the FTS Soul Chassis which isn't a re-design, but a re-imagining of the original 3-piece; it features a modern toe box and replaceable rubber soles for added traction and durability. With its 8 flex tongue, the boot provides a stiff yet responsive feel for those skiers who prefer a more resistant flex pattern.

Features

FIT

Last: 99 mm – The original width shell that your feet love. Ideal for average to narrow width feet.

FTS (Full Tilt Soul) Shell – The FTS Shell takes the same 99 mm last width and geometry used in the original 3-piece design and incorporates a roomier toe box, allowing room for your toes to play.

Easy On/Off – Tongue fully opens like a convertible, never blocking your foot. Slide your foot in and out easily with comfort in all temperatures.

FLEX

Flex Rating: 8 (1 soft - 10 stiff) – Powerful & responsive energy transfer, while maintaining a smooth, natural ankle motion to eliminate shinbang! You can quickly change your flex by swapping out different flex tongues.

Adjustable Flex – The boot's flex is rated on a simple scale of 1-10 (10 = stiffest). Change a boot's flex by simply switching the tongue (additional tongues sold separately).

Ribbed Tongue – 100% ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang! Optimized for FT's new 45 degree cable positioning for the smoothest flex possible.

Infinite Pivot – Unlike traditional designs, the rear cuff never bottoms out. It pivots infinitely forward with your calf for less shell distortion, no shin pain, and more control.

LINER

Pro Liner – 4 mm Open Cell Foam / 2 mm Intuition® RD Foam / 7 mm Intuition® HD Foam. Specifically engineered to provide the most energy transfer to shell while maintaining warmth in a light weight and custom moldable fit.

100% Heat Moldable Intuition® – All adult Full Tilt boots use authentic Intuition® closed cell foam that is body heat activated to mold 100% to your feet and shell during use, or can be heat molded by a shop in minutes.

J Bars – An additional J-shaped piece of foam is inserted internally on both sides of the ankle area to dramatically increase ankle hold, to keep your feet perfectly in place for precise control.

Powerwrap – An additional layer of ergonomically shaped High Density Intuition® closed cell foam is wrapped around the outside of the upper liner to provide added energy transfer and horsepower to the shell.

Wide Toe – For people with wider feet or who prefer a little more wiggle room in the toe area, a thinner foam is used in the front of the liner to increase space without sacrificing control.

Warm – Unlike conventional liners, Full Tilt 100% foam construction is air tight with reduced seams to retain body heat.

SHELL MATERIALS

3-Piece Shell Construction – Up to 2 lbs / 900 g lighter than other boots due to its smart and minimalistic 3-Piece design that eliminates the need for thick, heavy overlapping plastic or bolts.

STANCE

Lateral Adjustment – Easy, precise lateral angle adjustment up to 12 mm.

Forward Lean Adjustment – Tool-less forward angle adjustment of 3 mm or 7.6 mm.

BUCKLES

Aluminum Widetrack Buckles – New adjustment mechanism engineered to increase precision and durability while maintaining on-the-fly single-handed micro adjustment. New durable aluminum lever with a minimalist lightweight design.

Cables – Cable closure works like a shoe lace to eliminate dead spots for a smooth even pressure, flex & fit.

POWER STRAP

Nylon power strap gives you what you need to get the job done

SOLE

Rubber Soles – Natural rubber soles on the toe & heel for non-slip walking & hiking that can even be replaced if they wear out.

Shock Absorber Boot Board – Soft rubber layer in the sole of the shell absorbs vibrations, impact, and shock for a smooth ride.
