WTB: T2X vs. SynerG

[chris]

OK, I'm finally getting ready to upgrade my tele-setup, though I'm conflicted about boots. I ski in an old pair of T2s, which have handled well for me BC and in-bounds. But I'm a brand addict, and considering Garmont is causing me to loose my objectivity. Can anyone give me their opinions to the pros vs cons of both models?

If possible, you should try them both on, and buy whichever fits your foot the best. Many people find that if they have a "Scarpa" foot, the Garmont's don't fit so well, and vice versa.

 

In terms of performance, the T2X will be much burlier than your old T2s (2-buckle I assume), almost like the three buckle T1s from a few years ago. I've never skied in Garmonts, so can't comment on them.

 

As an aside, if you're buying new boots to have a "performance" setup, size them nice and snug, and keep your packed out and comfy T2s for long tours.
