Testers were impressed with the solid lateral power the Eden 105 delivered to the skis' edges, powering through carves on hard firm surfaces and chunderized crud, alike. They said this medium width boot fit tall on the leg and upright, favoring bigger and stronger members of the test team who liked a firm feeling boot that responded to assertive inputs.

Some of the shorter, lighter weight testers on the crew had a hard time engaging the front of the ski due to a firm liner feel on the shin and an upright stance angle. This was a much tougher boot than its idyllic name would suggest. They did, however, like the pink graphic—even if it was camouflage on something of a badass brick-strong crusher.
