Full Tilt, a favoured brand for freestyle fans, now sits fully in the K2 stable, using the FL3X moniker. This model is Taylor Brooke Lundquist’s pro-model, and if you don’t know who she is then check out her Instagram profile – the girl is awesome. This heat-mouldable shell and cuff combines with the thermoformable Intuition wrap-liner, which cushions against shin bang, to provide plenty of customisation. The 100 flex Grilamid tongue maintains its flex characteristic across a wide range of temperatures and can be swapped out for a softer or stiffer version, if you wish. The Revolver Plus shell was called Soul under FT, and is really close to the original Raichle, giving that beautiful flex these boots are renowned for. Cables, instead of rigid buckles, further improve the wrap and smooth nature. The graphics are a representation of Taylor, with a nod to her passion for skateboarding in the all-black sole.
BEST FOR: Dedicated female freestylers looking for the ultimate pro-approved boot for the park.

Miss-time a landing in a traditional shell and you might feel as if you’ve walked into a fence. Landing in the K2 FL3X Revolver is more like endlessly exhaling. Previously known as the Full Tilt Soul Sister, this lightweight, minty stylin’ all-mountain/freestyle boot comes with a three-piece shell and a tongue ribbed like a drink straw that combine to deliver a mellow, progressive forward flex. Throw in a tall women’s-specific cuff with a low hinge point, and there’s a real sense of lateral support – simply park the ski on its edge, ride and fly. The combination of the Intuition liner and open shell mean the boot is both easy to customise, and easy to take on and off, so you can kick ‘em off and get to après prontamente.

Roxa’s three-piece cabrio design is the holy trinity that lies at the heart of this medium-flexing all-mountain/freestyle boot. The lower height women’s-specific cuff leaves room for those strong calves to stomp and slide their way through winter, and the adjustable spoiler ensures you’re in control when it comes to forward lean. Other winter-worshipping features of note include the mouldable Biofit last, adjustable flex, inverted toe buckles and GripWalk soles. Get ready to worship ladies…
