Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro

The Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro could easily be overlooked due to its typical ski-boot-like appearance. It sports a four-buckle overlap design, rockered Vibram rubber sole, and ski/walk mechanism on the spine. Just a checklist beef boot with nothing to see here, right?

Wrong! The Tour Pro is elegantly simple and refined to such a degree that this boot will become the elusive one-boot quiver for many aggressive backcountry skiers. Four supportive buckles, one Light Lock Power Strap, and a Double Blocking ski/walk latch provide a true 130 flex. A 55-degree range of motion and relatively free cuff movement give it walk-ability to rival lighter boots. Tecnica also managed to get the weight of the Zero G Tour Pro so low that we don’t know whether to categorize this as a Beef Boot or a Touring Boot.

Tecnica didn’t set out to change the touring game with gimickry, but the Zero G Tour Pro has been masterfully refined to a higher level.

• Extra-light magnesium buckles keep it locked down without weight penalty.
• Grilamid shell with a carbon cuff delivers uncompromising ski performance.
• Double Blocking ski/walk latch means no play in your mech.
• Vibram sole offers secure footing when boot packing and scrambling.
• Dynafit certified inserts provide confident tech-binding operation.

Damn these are a great boot. 10/10 would buy again (as long as no long term durability issues come up)

Skis better than most of the old 2000g-ish beef boots, uphills as well and even better than some 1200g boots (almost as good as Backlands with the tongues in). Keeping the clog buckles secured and the cuff buckles open yields IMPRESSIVE rom especially since it's overlap and skis amazing.

The upright lean makes wonky tech binding deltas much more manageable, but if you throw them into alpine bindings it feels real upright.

I actually had to get the Scouts since by the time I industry purchased, most people were out or didn't want to sell their last pair (understandable).

The sample size floating around down my way was my size - hence the early review.

These boots are pretty sweet in every regard. They go down as well as any boot I've skied; better than Mtn Labs or Vulcans. They weigh not much more than most regular touring boots, but are vastly superior when descending. In terms of touring and climbing, they go well. I loosen all the cuff buckles. Probably could use a bit more range of movement aft, but that's a minor quibble. Sole seems durable and grippy.

The walk/ski lever is simple and reliable. The powerstrap is the most user-friendly ever. For performance to weight ratio, this boot kills it.
