Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot

The Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot is built for expert skiers who want alpine-style control from a boot that still walks properly. A 101 mm last fits wide feet and tall insteps with room to spare, and a four-buckle Grilamid nylon overlap shell delivers a 130 flex that drives wide or heavy skis without folding. At 1,550 grams per boot, with 70 degrees of cuff rotation and the Hoji Lock lever closing the cuff and walk mode in one throw, the Dynafit Tigard 130 suits freeride touring and resort laps on compatible bindings.

Bootfitter's Advice

The Dynafit Tigard 130 is built on a 101 mm last, but we find it fits wide and high in volume, with a roomy toe box and a tall lower shell over the instep. The heel and ankle sit a little snugger than the Radical Pro, so the foot stays located even though the front of the boot is generous. The thick Primaloft liner fills space when new; as it packs out, lower-volume feet may need a footbed or shims to take up room over the instep.

The Tigard 130 requires adequate ankle range and strength. Lighter or less aggressive skiers may struggle to flex it. Verify binding compatibility carefully: GripWalk does not make every alpine binding compatible, and the boot also requires appropriate tech inserts for touring use.

Compare the Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot

Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot vs. Tecnica Cochise 130 DYN GW

Both target resort and touring crossover use. The Tigard claims more cuff rotation and lower weight, while the Cochise offers a long-established alpine overlap feel and broad bootfitting familiarity.

Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot vs. Lange XT3 Free 130 MV

The Tigard is lighter and tours more freely. The Lange feels more like a conventional alpine boot and may suit skiers who spend a greater percentage of days riding lifts.

Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot vs. Dynafit Radical Pro

The Tigard is stiffer, slightly snugger at the heel and compatible with appropriate GripWalk alpine bindings. The Radical Pro is lighter, a little roomier at the heel and better suited to human-powered touring as its primary use.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot?
Expert and aggressive skiers who want a 130-flex crossover boot for wide skis and technical descents.
Who should avoid this boot?
Lightweight tourers, beginners, low-power skiers, skiers with low-volume feet and users with incompatible bindings should avoid this boot.
What foot shape works best?
Wide, high-volume feet with a tall instep. We find the Tigard 130 roomier than its 101 mm last suggests, with a roomy toe box and a heel on the snug side of medium. Low-volume feet should choose a lower-volume boot or plan on footbeds and shims to take up space over the instep.
How does the sizing run?
Use Mondo sizing and confirm with a shell fit. The Tigard 130 runs roomy, so skiers between sizes often do better in the smaller shell; upsizing for comfort adds length that costs control and heel retention.
Does the Dynafit Tigard 130 Touring Boot punch well?
Moderate professional shell work is possible, but the lighter and more carbon-reinforced the shell, the less forgiving it is of large modifications. Start with the correct shell shape.
Is it warm enough for winter touring?
Yes. The Dynafitter liner with Primaloft insulation will keep your feet considerably warmer than a lightweight touring boot with a minimalist liner will.
What skis pair best with it?
Freeride and all-mountain skis 95-120 mm underfoot.
Can I use it for resort skiing?
A true hybrid boot, the Tigard 130 finds itself at home on both the resort and the backcountry, with the binding compatibility to match up with the GripWalk-mounted skis in your quiver.

Our Verdict

The Tigard 130 is a true freeride-touring crossover. Its 1,550 g weight and 70° cuff rotation make it more tourable than many 130-flex overlap boots, while the GripWalk sole and four-buckle shell suit aggressive downhill use. It is powerful, not universally appropriate: lighter skiers may be better served by the Tigard 110 or a touring-focused boot.
