The Tecnica Cochise Jr. is a perfect boot for strong junior skiers or tween that need a boot that is stronger and more powerful than package boots. A flex rating of 60 gives your little ripper the performance and power of grown up boots, but without the sloppy, wide fit of cost effective adult boots. With a flex rating of 60 the Cochise Jr. is perfect for aggressive junior skiers that weigh less than 120 lbs, and the progressive flex gets stiffer and stronger the more your junior skier pushes the boot. The Cochise Jr. has a Velcro Powerstrap that will keep a tight wrap across their shins, and give them more leverage to bend and flex the boot. If need a boot for your little ripper that is a stronger skier than the junior package boots, the Tecnica Cochise Jr. will be a great choice.
