Freeride Touring Boot, Flex 110

Dynafit Tigard RT Touring Boot

The Dynafit Tigard RT Touring Boot is a 1,780-gram (size 26.5) freeride touring boot with a 101 mm last, a progressive 110 flex, 70 degrees of cuff rotation, and a GripWalk (ISO 23223) sole with certified tech inserts, built for downhill-focused skiers who tour on the same boot they ski at the resort. Dynafit built the Tigard RT with a durable, scratch-resistant polyurethane shell and PrimaLoft insulation for rental and everyday crossover use, and the Hoji Single Lock lever unifies the cuff and shell into a play-free block for the descent. Four micro-adjustable buckles and a power strap hold the foot.

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, and ski skis 95 to 110 mm underfoot without chasing the lowest possible weight.
Consider Another Boot If
You prioritize low weight for big vertical days, where the 1,780-gram polyurethane build is heavy. The Grilamid Tigard 130 at 1,590 grams 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.
  • The durable, scratch-resistant polyurethane shell holds up to heavy rental and everyday use better than lighter Grilamid shells.
  • PrimaLoft insulation keeps feet warmer than the thin liners in most lightweight touring boots.
  • Four micro-adjustable buckles and a power strap deliver a secure, adjustable hold on a 101 mm last.

Best Uses

  • One-boot resort and backcountry crossover skiing
  • Freeride touring on skis 95 to 110 mm 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 101 mm 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, so plan on a fitter for larger modifications. Because the Tigard RT is heavier at 1,780 grams than the Grilamid Tigard 130 at 1,590 grams, 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 grams, 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

Who should buy the Dynafit Tigard RT?
The Dynafit Tigard RT suits skiers who want one durable, warm boot for both the resort and the backcountry, ski 95 to 110 mm underfoot, and value GripWalk versatility over the lowest possible touring weight.
Is the Tigard RT the same as the Tigard 130?
No. The Tigard RT uses a polyurethane shell with a softer 110 flex and weighs 1,780 grams, while the Tigard 130 uses a Grilamid shell with a stiffer 130 flex at 1,590 grams. The Tigard RT is heavier and softer but warmer and more durable, and Dynafit built it for rental and crossover use.
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. It is not compatible with 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 Tigard RT weighs 1,780 grams per boot at size 26.5, per Dynafit. That is heavier than the Grilamid Tigard 130 at 1,590 grams, 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 101 mm 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 grams 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, 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 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.
