Backcountry Description: Black Diamond designed the 130 flex-rated Men's Factor Alpine Touring Boot for hard-charging skiers who demand a boot with backcountry access capabilities and uncompromising alpine performance. This boot features interchangeable sole blocks compatible with ISO Alpine DIN and all AT binding systems, including Dynafit. With its alpine style overlap cuff construction, the Factor provides the natural progressive flex missing from traditional tongue construction AT boot designs. The overlap cuff also results in unrestricted uphill walking efficiency for touring. The included anti-microbial Strobel liner is not only thermoformable, but also includes the Boa closure system, technology exclusive to Black Diamond boots that maximizes liner fit and provides on-the-go adjustability. Black Diamond gave this boot a mechanically integrated ski/walk mode for touring and eight degrees of forward lean over three settings so you can dial your stance to suit your skiing style. Outside Magazine gave this boot the Best of Backcountry award and even said if we had Gear of the year for Boots, the Factor would win it.

Eastern Mountain Sports Description: The Black Diamond® Factor is built for the hardest of hard chargers, who run it wide open on blower pow, send 30-footers to hardpack and pull 60 mph straight lines - skiers with tight pants or skinny skis need not apply. The stiffest freeride boot in the Black Diamond line, with Flex-130 rated Triax-Pro Frame. Pebax construction retains performance in varying temps; ISO alpine DIN sole blocks standard. Four-buckle closure with power strap for performance fit. Power Fit Light liner is thermomoldable with Boa closure system. Boa liner-tightening system is lightweight, is easy to use with gloves on, and can be adjusted even with the boots on. Ski/walk mechanism is adjustable for different degrees of flexion. Thermoformable high-performance footbed and Power Fit Liner ensure a custom fit for your foot. The Factor is compatible with BD AT blocks (sold separately). Black Diamond recommends this boot for its Megawatt, Zealot, and Verdict skis.

Product reviews from Backcountry:

Sniderd |
I bought these boots after reading all these reviews and on the second day of skiing the stupid little walk/ski thing broke. I wasn't even pushing it that hard, it was a green run and all I did was hit a little bump and it just snapped. I took it into a shop here and they took it out and it had obvisouly sheared off the pin that holds it in ski mode. I asked the REI people that helped me if it had any issues because I am a 220 pound aggressive skier, and I was told that they can handle anything I could throw at them, Obviously not. I am up here at Whistler and Black Diamond doesn't have anywhere up here to fix the boot. The closest place is in Fernie. I loved the boots the first day but the fact that they broke on the second day shows that the workmanship just isn't up to the standards that they advertise.
