Cannot wait! I just got some Radical Pros and I'm looking to cover the speedier side of the quiver.
Also, any word on the Backlight version?
Dynafit TLT X Boot
They made it! The revered TLT boot series from Dynafit has made it all the way to X. That means the new TLT X is approximately the 10th iteration of innovative German/Italian engineering (please gloss over Dynafit’s choice to skip the “nine” like they are a big tech company). However, no need to gloss over the details of the boot since, owing to them, this might be the best TLT yet.
With an entirely new mold, Dynafit has targeted the “X” for the North American masses in terms of fit. Not the Euro-fit of the 5, not as high volume and snub-nosed as the 7/8, the TLTX just seems to fit the feet. It has a great range of motion like all TLT boots (well, since the 5). It has good ski performance like all TLT boots (well, since the 6). Dynafit chose to go with a Twistfit closure over the top of the foot for a secure, precise fit. The UltraLock 5.0 closure system incorporates a decade of tweaks to the system that just works. The liners are the best yet in a TLT boot: thick enough, dense enough, and very moldable.
Finally, and perhaps best of all, Dynafit is launching a “lifetime” guarantee program for their boots to match what they have done with their bindings. In this case, a boot lifetime means five years, which is quite a bit longer than any other A/T boot manufacturer (1-2 years). The Dynafit TLT X is the best TLT yet backed by an exceptional warranty. An easy choice if you have the common foot shape to match.
- Ultra Lock 5.0 is an integrated top buckle and ski/walk mechanism.
- Grilamid shell and spoiler are stiff, lightweight, and workable by a fitter.
- Grilamid cuff is loaded with glass fibers for excellent power transmission.
- MasterStep inserts are easy to step in and supremely reliable.
- Twistfit instep closure secures the foot up and down and front to back.
- Pomoca soles are durable yet grippy enough for those fun scrambles.
- Toe and heel welts that work with most automatic crampons.
- Comfortable last width fits a lot of North American feet.
- “Lifetime” guarantee of five years can’t be beat.
- Power strap included (+19g) in the box but not installed.

Justin, Heres the word. The Obvious is the Carbon fiber cuff. The other difference is the TLT X has a Grilamid shell. The Blacklight shell will be Grilamid with Carbon fibers added. So that should make the boot stiffer. The advertised weight difference is 40g lighter.

Do we know anything about fit besides the last? I have a higher instep. The Dynafit Radical Pro's are perfect. Similar fit? Thanks!

Hi Dallin, yes we've tried them on. It is fairly accommodating over the instep with the Twistfit. Dynafit tried to match the Radical Pro shape, just scaled down a little to work with a thinner liner.

Hi Justin, not until next season for those.

OK, I'll bite. When will the boot be available? Currently in a TLT 7 at 27.5. Sizing similar?
3/15/2022
Hi gareth, yes, you should be the same size in the X as the 7. We are currently expecting these early April, but hesitate to promise anything these days.
