Dalbello Cabrio LV Free 120 If Ski Boot

The Dalbello Cabrio LV Free 120 has just about everything you could ever want in a ski boot. This is about as versatile as it gets. When we talk about one-ski quivers, we generally gloss over boots. The Cabrio LV Free 120 is the one-boot quiver for skiers who have no interest in owning more than one pair. With a narrow last, a three piece shell, and all the techy goodies of a touring boot, this Cabrio LV Free 120 meets the needs of anyone who’s looking to conquer any mountain on Earth.

Why we like it:

Features galore! You want a freestyle cabrio boot? Got it. You want a low-volume fit for precise carving? No problem. How about tech fittings and a walk mode for touring and backcountry skiing? Yup. But wait there’s more! What about a heat-moldable liner that’ll customize your fit? Absolutely.

Who it's for:

One-boot quiver skiers. You have no interest in multiple boots for multiple disciplines. You want one boot to do it all. You also have a slender foot and appreciate the style of cabrio boots.

Highlights:

Lots to list here. Tech fittings, power strap, Intuition Tongue Liner, Three-Piece Shell, Walk Mode. Whatever additions and specifics you could think to add to a boot, this Cabrio LV Free 120’s got it.

Things to consider:

It’s not a traditional four-buckle boot. Skiers with higher insteps tend to fit better in a Cabrio like this, but it’s not for everyone. There may be too many features for some skiers who prefer simplicity and tradition.

Fit & sizing considerations:

This 99 mm last is on the narrow side, but there’s plastic to grind here in the forefoot. It’s not that stretchable, though, as the cabrio style isn’t as easy to punch. That said, with the heat moldable liner, many issues simply go away as the heel finds the pocket when customized.
