The Element 120 is a decent boot for the park but any boot will perform in the park assuming that it fits you correctly. I ski the park in Dalbello Lupo Ax 120s. Get a boot that fits you first and foremost, worry less about brand.

Lol what's a park boot? No such thing. They fit or they don't. They're soft or they're stiff. Isn't Roxa just the Euro Full Tilt..? Like the same design/patent.

CORRECTION: They have had the same boots/patents in the past and use the same factories for certain boots/parts.

in terms of durability, roxas have my vote.

ive owned atomic, full tilt, roxa, and k2.

roxas do not fit my feet and are painful, but i have hammered some free birds for about 3-4 years and no issues. ive abused them and they still hold up.

but as everyone else was saying, dont worry about brand. EXCEPT for this years k2 recon series. mine have blown up after not even 20 days. as well as other people reporting the same thing.

roxas are dope
if you like full tilt and/or dalbello then you will dig roxa (they make full tilts and dalbellos in their factory in italy)

I have the element 120's. Definitely go get fitted first and see what you think, but if they fit your foot they are awesome. Stupid light, they have a soft and hard flex option, i ride with them on the hard. Feel similar to a 120 flex boot but being a three piece they are a little more forgiving. If they fit your feet I'd go for it.

What issues did you have with them? I have had no warranties yet in BC on that boot. Let me know your issues we may be able to help you out.

been loving my element 120s. really comfy. my only gripe is the chincy ass buckles. they are already pretty bent up just from everyday fastening. Skiing with a replacement buckle in my coat ready for them to snap. Not riveted tho so easily replaceable, but annoying. I hate when boot companies try and trim weight on the buckles. Lose it elsewhere and keep em burly steel.

Dalbello has their own factory. Roxa has their own factory. Roxa contracts a lot of production for smaller boot brands (like Full Tilt, but that might be moving more and more to the Dalbello factory thru K2 Sports management).

Weird... it's definitely not new. Dalbello has been making ski boots for at least 70 years and they've always had their own factory. They are one of the original producers of plastic ski boots, going back to the 1970s.

Roxa has also been in the game for a long time, and they do make ski boots for other brands, but it would be crazy weird if they were making some boots for Dalbello. That's like saying Black Crows makes skis for Atomic.

Love my freebird 120s. I don't think they make them anyone but it's basically a more durable full tilt booter in 120. Awesome now with footbeds and some molding/fitting work .

I love my Element 120's for park and R3 130 T.I.'s for touring and BC. Think Full tilt but lighter, I've always been a 3 piece boot guy because I love the way they ski but these boots are by far the lightest I've ever skied.

theyre amazing. i have element 120's they work great in every scenario. way better than krypton 1, krypton 2, and full tilt. this is how a 3 piece boot should feel/ski. you wont regret.

Element 120s are tit, lightest park boot out and so far really durable to hard jumping, essentially like an il moro but a little comfier and not as expensive.
