How's the fit length-wise compared to a Scarpa Alien RS and Hoji Free? I'm a 28 in the Scarpa, a 27.5 in the Hoji and trying to decide which way to go with the Blacklight...
Thanks
Dynafit Blacklight Boot
If the TLT 8 is Dynafit’s Mozart (classical, virtuosic, precedent-setting), then the Blacklight is their Beethoven (dark, striking). Okay, maybe we’ve lost you, but we’re just really excited about this boot! Like the TLT X, the Blacklight takes what worked from the TLT 8, such as the simple ultra lock system and above-average volume fit, while also improving walking range of motion, reintroducing the toe welt, and securing heel hold via a Twistfit instep closure. The Blacklight also sports a full carbon cuff and carbon-infused Grilamid lower shell. Paired with a hyperflexible tongueless flex in walk mode, the result is a boot that walks like a race boot with the power transfer of a touring boot. For aggressive skiers, professional mountaineers, speed tourers, and everyone in between, the Dynafit Blacklight is sure to make a splash.
- Ultra Lock 5.0 integrates the ski/walk mechanism with the top buckle for efficient transitions.
- Carbon cuff and carbon-loaded Grilamid shell excel at transferring power at a low weight.
- Twistfit closure system locks the foot from the instep to the heel creating a precise and secure fit.
- Pomoca soles are grippy and durable.
- Toe and heel welts compatible with automatic crampons.
- Generous last width for a more comfortable fit.
- Five-year “lifetime” guarantee.
- Includes optional velcro powerstrap.

Hey Marc, I just tried on these boots side by side(substituting the TLT X for the Blacklight that we haven't received yet), and I'd recommend the 27.5 Blacklight! The length should be similar to your Hoji Free, but the Blacklight might have slightly more width.

Perfect. Thanks for your help

Would this be the modern replacement for my now almost dead (slop in pivot and worn sole/toe) though brilliant TLT6P?
10/8/2022
Thanks for reaching out, Nick! This is the modern replacement of the TLT6 Performance, TLT7 Carbonio, and TLT8 Carbonio. It should be noted it will have a different fit than all the aforementioned boots. If you want something that fits similarly to the TLT6, the Speedfit Pro would be worth a look!

Downhill performance comparison to Sportiva Skorpius or Salomon MTN Summit?
9/21/2022
Hey Travis, most would probably find the Skorpius to have the best feel on the downhill (though the MTN Summit and Blacklight are no slouches, either). It should be noted that the "best boot is the one that fits your foot" from within the category you're interested in. So, if you have a lower/medium volume foot, the Skorpius would be the best option. If you have a wider foot, either the MTN Summit or Blacklight could work quite well!
