forrest Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi, I was wonder if anyone has some feed back on the RC-8's I especially wondering how they compare to an AT ski boot. I know UPZ doesn't suggest using them for skiing but I'm wondering if they would be sufficient for a touring boot. I'm also curious how they are for a powder boot. I'm trying to get a pow setup with plates for next winter and am considering these boots. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann AG Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Are you planning on using these for both skiing and snowboarding, or primarily just snowboarding? Or splitting? Or? If serious hiking is in the plan, you might want to take a look at the La Sportiva Spectre. Stupidly light weight, and they don't have the absurdly steep ramp of most hard boots. As a hardboot, they should work reasonably well at lower stance angles. Heel/ankle pocket is somewhat oversized though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I would primarily be using these for snowboarding, mostly lift serve as I'm putting together a ski AT setup. Thats my main interest with their ski performance as I'd like to have fewer boots if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
