This Head 2009 Raptor LTD boot is virtually identical to the 2010 boots on the shelves right now. The only change from this boot is that the 2010 boots are slightly stiffer flexing. This 2009 boot has a 110 / 100 flex ratings and the 2010 boots come in at 115 / 105 for flex. If you love the Raptor boot, and prefer an ever so slightly softer flex, then the 2009 model is the way to go. Heck, price helps a bit too!Heads Raptor LTD Ski Boot attacks the entire mountain with race-inspired design, but the 110 - 100 flex cuts back on the shinbang. Head also takes the LTD to another comfort level compared to it's brethren. This boot is built using the 98 mm forefoot width whereas the rest of the Raptor line measures in a 95 mm. If you're looking for more race boot 'comfort', the LTD may be for you. Based on Heads Raptor racing last, the LTD softens things up a bit for mixed conditions and all-mountain assaults.
