User Review: Fischer BCX 6

Used these for some cross-country skiing at Windblown XC center. It was the first time out this year and one of the few places skiable here yet.

The boots were incredibly warm (it was 18 degrees) and the boots worked great. Good kick and glide and very comfortable. Also managed some powder across a lake and a few steep downhills.

Boots are able to put a good amount of pressure on the skis and allow good turning. 

Summary

A VERY WARM and supportive boot that will allow you to focus on having fun making good turns.

This boot is a good boot for XC/Backcountry skiing and will have the power to drive skis up to 69-78mm. I have used several different brands and this is the warmest and most supportive of all.

I've used them with Magnum BC bindings mounted on Atomic Sierra skis (69mm shovel) and for low angle skiing and turning these are a blast. Not too heavy climbing but supportive enough they let me rip some turns. Also have them mounted on Alpina Trackers and they work equally as well.

Compared to Rossignol BC X5's they have more support and are warmer. The only problem was the buckle end the strap fed through broke due to-5 degree temps but the plastic support had a slot that allows me to threar strap through.

* Edited this on 02/21/2013 the day after I skied and they failed on me.

These boots are barely used two seasons worth of skiing. After a sparse winter last year I have been taking advantage of the recent blizzard and 1 other storm. They have worked fairly well as you can see on my earlier reviews. Yesterday after 7 or 8 miles of skiing a State Park that has some rolling hills I had a small spill and noticed that the right boot toe had pulled away from the sole to nearly the mid boot area with the sole staying attached to the binding. I'm glad I spilled as I would have been even father away from my truck if it seperated.  

Don't think I can recomend these anymore. When I had a buckle break and contacted Fischer they said to contact the retailer I bought from and see what they said. Not sure I have reciept anymore, but, a manufacturer should stand by their products no matter what!!! I ordered new ones last night and decided on the Rossignol BC x6.
