The Mach Sport LV 85 Women 21/22 from Tecnica is a women’s alpine ski boot designed to bring reliable control and a close fit to intermediate skiers. Built for the 2021/22 season, it focuses on delivering a snug feel that helps you stay connected to your skis without extra bulk.
This model features a low-volume shell with a 98 mm last, giving a narrower profile around the forefoot and heel. Combined with an 85 flex rating, it offers enough stiffness for precise edge control while still being forgiving enough for all-day comfort. At around 1 610 g per boot (size 24.5), it keeps weight down to reduce fatigue during long days on the hill.
