Designed for use on mid-width touring skis, the BC X5 offers a versatile blend of lightweight touring mobility and off-trail performance. These kicks are meant to drive a pair of skis, period. A wide Rottefella Nordic BC sole delivers the stability and control for wider skis and varied snow conditions, while a hinged mobile cuff optimizes fore/aft freedom and torsional rigidity for total control.

The backcountry can turn unexpectedly frigid, so Rossignol outfitted the BC X5's with 3M Thinsulate heat-retaining insulation, thereby providing increased warmth in damp and cold conditions for all-day comfort and warmth. Add to that thermoadjustable liners can be heat-molded around your feet for a customized fit, and you've got a boot built for performance, warmth, and supreme comfort.

Finally, Rossi's FW women's-specific fit offers reduced instep volume and a narrower fit from midfoot through heel for increased comfort and precision.
