The Gist

Longer legged, slender calved, narrow forefoot ripper girls will say yes to this address. The GPX 105 W features a charger's cockpit that strafes all snow and terrain.

Fit

The boot received evenly narrow-ish fit scores across the board, with recurring comments that the heel felt a little loose. That’s easily solved by having a thicker heel or a bootfitter installing custom L-pads. Testers felt the boot cuff rode a little tall and fairly tight on the calf with the rear spoiler installed. A few thought the stance was a bit on the forward-leaning side, so pulling or thinning the spoiler could resolve both issues.

Performance

Descended from the Dobermann, the GPX 105 W can, of course, ski with the best of them. Technical, aggressive skiers liked this boot best. It responded well to a firm tone and skilled movements. Testers liked its stiff even flex feel against the leg. It's powerful but light, quick but stable.

Cool Features

For alignment range of motion, it's tough to beat the Full Motion Pivot upper cuff adjustment mechanisms. It rotates the cuff or tips it laterally with the same gizmo. We like it. Shock absorbing bootboard and grippy soles make for a damp, off-piste ride at speed.
