Josh Thanks for the feedback. Most of the feedback I have received from skiers that I have spoken to, and have not tried the Spitfire, seems to be the same, i.e. that it looks to be light for the more challenging downhill conditions. At the same time La Sportiva claim that it is stiffer than the 4-buckle Scarpa Maestrale. Actually they claim that with the (optional) powerstrap the Spitfire is 120 flex. Anyone from La Sportiva monitoring this blog? Thx again Josh, Bessi

Hi guys Im new to this blog (and the world of AT) but I wanted to check if you could give me some advice. I just bought a pair of K2 Coombacks (181cm) and Dynafit TLT Radical ST bindings and Im now wandering about which boots to buy. Im 183 cm (6 ft) and I weigh some 84 kgs (185 pounds). I tried the Scarpa Mobe but it feels to sturdy for a touring boot. I then tried the La Sportiva Spitfire and they feel great on my foot but Im not sure if they are robust enough to drive these skis with my weight. Im not an aggressive skier and my Head carving boots are 90/100 flex. Im sure that the Spitfire is great uphill but what do you think will the Spitfire handle the K2 Coombacks well enough downhill? Thanx in advance Bessi from Iceland
