Dynafit Men's Blacklight Alpine Touring Boot
The Dynafit Men's Blacklight Alpine Touring Boot is built for advanced skiers chasing long climbs and technical ski mountaineering objectives. A 101 mm last fits average-to-wider feet, and a carbon-reinforced Grilamid nylon shell holds a 120 flex that drives skis 80 to 100 mm underfoot on the way down. At 1,140 grams per boot and 70 degrees of cuff articulation the Dynafit M Blacklight suits big ascents and fast technical missions.

Bootfitter's Advice
The 101 mm last is moderately accommodating, but the Blacklight fits like a performance boot because the liner is thin and the shell is structured. The lower shell will likely feel wrap-tight, especially before heat molding or breaking in the liner. It suits medium-volume feet better than very wide or high-instep feet.
The heel pocket is secure for most skiers but not race-boot tight. Narrow heels may benefit from liner padding. Extensive shell work is less desirable given the carbon-reinforced construction, so starting with the correct shell shape is important.

Mounting and Setup Advice
The Blacklight Pro ships without a brake; use a leash or add the optional brake in 75, 90 or 105 mm. A shop should set release for your weight, height, age, boot sole length and skier type and test it after mounting.
The binding needs certified tech inserts. Bring your boots in so we can check the inserts and set the release.
