25/26 Fischer Boot Lineup, the Importance of Inner Boots, & More w/ Christoph Lentz

Kara Williard catches up with Christoph Lentz, Fischer’s Global Product Manager for Alpine Boots, to discuss what they’ve been up to since the launch of their RC4 Lineup two seasons ago; how this lineup has expanded and evolved, including the new models for the 25/26 season; why Fischer has invested so much time and energy into “inner boots,” including using D3O padding in their latest liners; their all-new touring boot; the process for Vacuum molding plastics; Christoph’s favorite part of his job; and a whole lot more. RELATED LINKS:Our Blister Recommended ShopsGet Yourself Covered: BLISTER+ BOA & the Death of Buckles? 2024 Ski Boot Design | Blister Summit PanelTOPICS & TIMES:Christoph’s Role & How it Came to Be (4:05)Reflecting on the RC4 Pro (10:20)25/26 RC4 Lineup / New Models (20:11)RC4 Pro for Women (25:03)Inner Boots, aka Liners (27:24)D3O in Liners (29:52)Vacuum Plastics & Molding Process (37:01)The New Traverse (43:06)Current Trends in the Ski Industry (51:17)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDBikes & Big IdeasBlister Podcast Hosted on Acast.
