My boots of choice. Funny since they are not made anymore. I have a few new pairs in my closet and some old ones and parts to last for years. When my supply runs out, I retire. K2 bought the molds. Hopefully they will make them someday.

I purchased my Raichle Flexon Comps around 1984. I loved those boots. I skied in them for 22 years. In 2006 after a great day of skiing, I was walking through the lodge carrying my boots by looping my finger through the buckle-wire. Suddenly I felt the load get a bit lighter. I looked back and saw my beloved boots laying on the floor, the plastic cuff had split all the way around. They were beyond repair. I'm thrilled to hear they're back in production!

I've just replaced my hot pink with yellow buckle Flexon comp's from the early 90's with the Dalbello kryptons which use the same tongue system. If I'd known I would have waited for the Raichle's!!! the krypton's are made on the same last I believe, so they fit just as well, but there's something about that raichle look :D

To rrray:
K2 will start selling the boots next season. I saw the first models this year in ISPO exhibition in Munchen, Germany.

Hey, someone else who loves the old Raichle comps! Mine date from the 1980s - big red beasts. Still solid, but the inner boots are getting a bit sketchy.

I still ski in the olde Raichle Yellow Comp boots from the early 1990's. Best boot I have skied in since 1959 ! Need new heel plates. Anyone know where I can buy the heel plate parts ? Once these olde Yellow Comp boots die, I'll repace them with the new model, but make them yellow !
