K2's Mindbender 120 returns unchanged for 22/23 except for a graphic makeover. It's a boot that suits all mountain and freeride skiers looking for a versatile option with a medium fit. The Powerlock Spyne walk mechanism creates a 50 degree range of motion for hiking and provides a powerful connection when skiing. The Powerlite shell is light and responsive and can be heat moulded to create a custom fit; the PrecisionFit Pro Tour liner is moulded in store too, further improving comfort and foot hold. The Pebax cuff ensures a consistent flex across a range of temperatures; the 45mm Ripcord Power Cinch is effective and easy to use.
