Just figured out my boots dont fit me anymore so I found a pretty good price for some agent's. Anyone have them or know anyone who does? Any review would be appreciated.

im mainly curious about the weight and comfort difference. i know i really liked the comfort and weight of the agent 80's but are the 95's going to be less comfy and heavier?

maybe a stupid question but im curious

I'm not sure as I have never seen the 95 but I think that the only difference would be the flex. The 95 will be much stiffer than the 80 and there's the 90 in between.

i have last years agent 95's (black and green). they are super comfortable. yes their heavier than say an SPK but i ski in and out of the park so i dont mind it being slightly heavier if it means a little stiffer. i think this years are supposed to be lighter. they have the smaller buckles and straps etc...

but as always buy the boots that you feel most comfortable in.

If you are talking about this year's boots, there's only an Agent 90 and Agent 80 (no 95).  Both use the same shell (it comes out of the Phoenix line, 102mm wide) but the 90 has actual Freeride/Freestyle features like rubber in the tongue and rubber rear spoiler, neoprene toe box.  The 80 lacks those- it's basically a cosmetic change from the regular Phoenix line.  Plus, the liner in the 90 is way more fitted and moldable.  Only the Agent 130 and 110 have rubber boot boards (the thing you stand on top of in the plastic shell).

If the boot fits, wear it.  If not, then get something else.

im leaning more towards the 80's because they are lighter and i really did love the fit of them and they are like $80 cheaper. which in my money situation is key.

but is the flex going to really suck in powder being that low? and has anyone had any durability problems with them?

I understand that money is tight during these times, but if you can squeeze out an extra $80, try to do it.  Over the course of 3 or 4 years, it won't matter.  BUT if you really can't, then go for the 80- a good boot-fitter can make it stiffer for you if you end up over flexing it.
