Tecnica's New Ski Boots Controlled By SmartPhone (Integrated Thermic Heat System)

What do we think of Techica’s new bluetooth smartphone operated ski boots? The Mach1 MV 95 W Heat ($699.95)is only available in women’s boots for now but if they are a hit I’m sure we see them in the men’s aisle next season. No matter if you fully embrace integrated technology in skiing or prefer a purist approach, frozen toes are day shorteners and anything that keeps us on the hill is worth a consideration. Thoughts?

DESCRIPTION

The Mach1 MV 95 W Heat is designed for women who ski hard but like to maintain a high level of comfort. Both the shell and liner benefit from Tecnica’s proven “Custom Adaptive Shape” system for an individual fit. The integrated Therm-ic heating system keeps feet warm in all weathers. The integrated Lift-Lock-System is an added advantage, with large buckles that can be operated wearing gloves and are positioned at a 45° angle when open, making the boot easier to put on and take off.
