Raichle 121 backcountry boots?

[Jagger]

Considering buying some to use on my tanker any body have experience with 121s. Are they softer than 123s?

Hi!


I wish I could answer your question, instead of having more of them...

Where are you getting these? Are there more?

[Jagger]

Jon there were a couple pairs on ebay I found them by checking see sellers other items of a guy I bought some bindings off I ended up with a pair 27 mondo the other pairs were considerably smaller. and as far as I know they ended without being sold.

Thanks- I just wish someone knew if they (Deelux or Raichle) were going to make any more of these... I am sort of scared of ebay, but my beloved dynafits are getting beat and I need a replacement soon!

Jon I think the model is pretty old being a 120 series email deeluxe and see if there is anything comparable. They are 3 buckle boots with Vibram soles. What size do you need maybe I can put you in contact with the guy.

I just about blew up my work computer with the Deelux website!

Size about 29.5 or 30, thanks for the help.

I may not be back on this site till tomorrow, though- thanks again!

Hi guys,
check the old forum, there was many topics on using the 121 backcountry.
I personnaly ride them on Swallowtails powderboards, with softer plates and LOVE them.
The good thing is they are cramponable too if you happen to have to walk over a glacier first. The vibram sole is pretty good too for hicking, and the softness of the boot makes it a good choice for BC/ freeriding. The walk position on them allows for an almost comfortable walk too >
Well its an incredible boot overall!

Nils there is no more link to the old forum. How is the lateral flex on these boots?
