The RC4 The Curv One 105 will appeal to advanced skiers who are looking for a medium volume boot that doesn't sacrifice performance or hold back on custom fitting options. It uses Fischer's unique Vacuum moulding process that forms the shell to the skier's foot during the initial boot fit. This reduces pressure points and improves the foot hold at the same time; the comfort is further enhanced by the customisation of the heat moulded liner. It's also impressively light, thanks to clever engineering that alters the thickness of shell: thin where it needs to wrap, thicker where it supports.

Key Features
Somatec
In their natural, relaxed position, your feet form a V-shape. In this stance the knees remain parallel when flexed. Fischer took these anatomical facts into account when developing Soma-Tec. The feet remain relaxed in their natural V-position, so knee and ankle joints no longer have to be twisted inward and less strain is placed on the joints. At the same time, edge changes are made easier and energy is transmitted to the ski more accurately.
VACUUM
Vacuum technology uses a unique process and a specially developed high-tech plastic to adapt the shell of the ski boot to the anatomy of any foot. Prior to fitting the plastic of the boots are heated and softened. With the liner inserted, the skier’s foot is placed inside. A special cooling pad is placed around the outside, followed by a compression bag linked to the Vacuum Fit station. The skier then stands on the station in a pre-determined position, this will ensure the boot cools down and shapes to the skier’s natural stance. Once in position, air is pumped into the compression bags, pushing them against the boot and improving the mould being taken of the foot. This procedure achieves a sporty, comfortable fit that is unrivalled in this segment. The heel and ankle area can be expanded or compressed to create best possible shape; the forefoot can be made roomier.
Vacu-Plast
This unique material was developed exclusively for use with Fischer ski boots. Apart from its extraordinary moulding properties Vacu-Plast also has other special features: it is very temperature stable, meaning it isn’t adversely affected on extreme cold days when certain plastics become very stiff; it is lighter than other materials used on performance ski boots, and it has better vibration dampening.
