Tecnica Agent 110 (2010)

The Agent is a freeride version of the Dragon (see above): same mold, cushier (and less precise) liner. It willingly sacrifices some hard-snow accuracy and feel for better shock absorption and all-day comfort, but it retains plenty of integrity. The styling is sufficiently loud, and the buckles are just plain cool. “Great for the park; soft landings, limited shin-bang,” said Wax.
