Head Kore 2
Made using the wonder spacedust that is graphene, the Head Kore 2 W is a lightweight freeride boot with a slightly more on-piste feel than some others in this category.
It feels precise and has a broad sweet spot that’s helped by the new cuff design, which uses an integrated power plate, increasing its height and combined with a 50mm power strap gives a bucketfull of power in the middle and end of each arc.
The Kore uses Head’s trademark LiquidFit liner, a system where a gel can be injected, or removed, to fine tune the fit after the liner and shell have been heated.
It’s as close as it’s possible to get to a custom, aftermarket liner without shelling out for one.
A neat trick, borrowed from race boots, is the locking buckles, so that when you’re hiking up it’s impossible to catch and unintentionally open a buckle, leaving you with a nasty shock on the first turn.
Verdict
Light, powerful, lots of clever details.
