Testers liked the new Cosmos Tour for its clean lines and appealing fit characteristics. Testers say its a softer, gentler mirror image of the Cosmos Pro, and they liked the slightly more open fit tension powered by its half-step-down PWR Lite Tour liner.
Testers liked the rearfoot (heel, ankles, instep) fit which offered a nicely controlled roll from edge to edge in predictable lateral moves. They said that the length fit is short, as with the Pro, and the toebox a little cramped, so testers suggest that going a size up from one's typical size might be the trick with the Cosmos Tour. In their normal size, testers rated the boot a snug medium--going up a size would proportionately open-up the fit and better match Scott's 103.5mm last width billing, they thought.
Testers loved the touring range of motion and quality of cuff rotation--it was one of the best movers of the BC bunch we tested, they said. Descending power was limited in the fore-aft plane, as testers agreed that the Tour was even more prone to forward collapse than the Pro. Testers mention that for skiers most focused on a great fit for touring and easy-going downhill routes this would be a great choice. Shorter, lighter, less-aggressive pilots would be best-suited here, they advised.
