Is a boot geared more for the climb or for the descent? This common dilemma is finally a thing of the past because the Hoji has turned the question of 'either-or' into simply 'and'. Thanks to the clever Hoji-Lock system, there's a direct connection between cuff and shell. The result is the power and rigidity of a pure-bred alpine boot on the downhill, blended with maximum freedom of movement, flexibility and comfort on the climb.
