The Mach Sport 85 HV Women is a women’s alpine ski boot from Tecnica, designed to offer a comfortable fit for skiers with higher-volume feet. It’s built to deliver solid performance on piste, balancing support and ease of use over a full day on the slopes.
With a 103 mm last and a high-volume shell, this boot gives extra room across the forefoot and instep, reducing pressure points without losing control. The flex rating of 85 provides a medium level of stiffness that responds to moderate edging forces, making it well suited for intermediate skiers or those progressing their technique. Weighing in at around 1610 g in size 24.5, it keeps fatigue at bay while still offering the rigidity needed for precise turns.
In ski-boot terminology, the “last” is the width of the shell at its widest point—in this case 103 mm—so a higher number means more internal space. The flex rating measures how much the boot resists forward flex: an 85 flex strikes a middle ground between forgiving and responsive, giving enough support for controlled carving without feeling overly stiff.
