Freeride Touring Boot, Flex 110
Dynafit Tigard RT Touring Boot
The Dynafit Tigard RT Touring Boot is built for skiers who want one warm, durable boot for the resort and the backcountry. A 101mm last provides adequate room for average-to-wide feet, and a polyurethane overlap shell with four buckles holds a progressive 110 flex that drives skis 95 to 110mm underfoot. At 1,780 g per boot in a 26.5, with 70 degrees of cuff rotation from the Hoji Single Lock lever, the Dynafit Tigard RT suits lift laps, sidecountry and cold-weather tours.

Is This the Right Boot for You?
Best For
Skiers who want one durable, warm boot for both the resort and the backcountry, value GripWalk versatility and pin-tech touring, run skis 95 to 110mm underfoot, and aren't worried about chasing the lowest possible weight.
Consider Another Boot If
You prioritize low weight for big vertical days, in which the 1,780-gram polyurethane build feels heavy. The Grilamid nylon Tigard 130 at 1,590 g or a lighter tech boot tours more efficiently, and skiers wanting a stiffer boot should look at the 130 flex.

Why We Like It
- The GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole plus certified tech inserts let the Tigard RT step into pin-tech touring bindings and into GripWalk or MNC alpine bindings, so one boot covers resort and backcountry days.
- The Hoji Single Lock lever transitions from walk to ski in one motion and tensions the cuff into a play-free block for the descent.
- 70 degrees of cuff rotation is a large stride for a downhill-oriented crossover boot, better than most alpine-touring boots in its weight class.
- PrimaLoft insulation keeps feet warmer than the thin liners in most lightweight touring boots.
Best Uses
- One-boot resort and backcountry crossover skiing
- Freeride touring on skis 95 to 110mm underfoot
- Cold-weather days where warmth matters
- Rental and everyday use where durability matters
- Skiers with medium-wide to wide, higher-volume feet
Bootfitter's Advice
The Tigard RT fits high in volume with a wide toe box on its 101mm last, in line with the Tigard family. After fitting many Tigards, we find they suit medium-wide to wide feet and can feel roomy on narrow, low-volume feet, especially in the heel and ankle. The thick, insulated liner does help take up volume and molds well.
The polyurethane shell can be punched and the Dynafitter RT liner heat molds, though PU is less freely workable than Grilamid nylon, so plan on a fitter for larger modifications. Because the Tigard RT is heavier at 1,780 g than the Grilamid nylon Tigard 130 at 1,590 g, skiers focused on big uphill days should weigh the warmth-and-durability tradeoff against outright touring efficiency.

Compare the Dynafit Tigard RT
Tigard RT vs. Dynafit Tigard 130
The Tigard 130 uses a Grilamid shell for a stiffer 130 flex and a lighter 1,590-gram weight, aimed at hard-charging skiers who tour. The Tigard RT trades that for a durable polyurethane shell, PrimaLoft warmth, and a softer 110 flex at 1,780 g, built for warmth, durability, and everyday crossover use.

Tigard RT vs. Lange XT3 Tour
Both are resort-and-touring crossover boots on GripWalk soles. The Lange XT3 Tour skis with a firmer, more alpine feel and a tighter last, while the Tigard RT walks with more range of motion at 70 degrees and fits higher in volume, favoring comfort and touring stride.

Tigard RT vs. Scarpa Quattro Pro
The Scarpa Quattro Pro is a lower-volume, stiffer four-buckle crossover boot for skiers who want more downhill support in a snugger fit. The Tigard RT fits wider and higher in volume, adds PrimaLoft warmth, and uses the one-lever Hoji Single Lock for simpler transitions.

Common Questions
What bindings work with the Tigard RT?
The Tigard RT has a GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole and certified tech inserts, so it works with pin/tech (low-tech) bindings and with GripWalk- or MNC-compatible alpine and frame bindings. The Tigard RT will not work in standard ISO 5355-only alpine bindings that lack GripWalk adjustment. Confirm your binding is GripWalk or MNC rated.
How much does the Tigard RT weigh?
The Dynafit Tigard RT weighs 1,780 g per boot at size 26.5. That is heavier than the Grilamid nylon Tigard 130 at 1,590 g, a tradeoff for the durable polyurethane shell and PrimaLoft insulation.
How does the Tigard RT fit and size?
The Tigard RT fits high in volume with a wide toe box on a 101mm last, in line with the rest of the Tigard family. Length runs close to true Mondo, and a 25 and 25.5 share the same shell. Confirm with a shell fit.
Is the Tigard RT warm?
Yes. The Dynafitter RT liner uses PrimaLoft insulation, so the Tigard RT runs warmer than the thin liners in most lightweight touring boots, which helps on cold resort and touring days.
How well does the Tigard RT tour?
The Tigard RT offers 70 degrees of cuff rotation and a one-lever Hoji Single Lock transition, which walk well for a downhill-oriented boot. At 1,780 g it is heavy for long vertical days, so dedicated tourers may prefer the lighter Tigard 130 or a tech boot.
Can the Tigard RT be punched and molded?
Yes. The Dynafitter RT liner heat molds, and the polyurethane shell can be punched, though PU is less freely workable than Grilamid nylon, so plan on a fitter for larger modifications.
What warranty comes with the Tigard RT?
Dynafit backs its ski touring boots, including the Tigard RT, with a five-year guarantee. Confirm registration details with Dynafit at purchase.
Our Verdict
The Dynafit Tigard RT is a durable, warm crossover boot for skiers who want a single boot for the resort and the backcountry. The GripWalk sole with tech inserts covers both pin-tech and GripWalk or MNC bindings, the Hoji Single Lock transitions in one lever, and PrimaLoft insulation keeps feet warm. Its polyurethane shell and 110 flex trade some stiffness and add weight compared with the Grilamid nylon Tigard 130, so committed uphill skiers should weigh the 1,780-gram weight against the warmth and durability. For a high-volume foot and one-boot versatility, the Tigard RT is a sensible, hard-wearing choice.
