Technical Information:
Dual BOA H4 Coiler Lacing: A fast and durable version of the BOA lacing system. Allows precise adjustment for a customized fit.
KPU Shell: The lower part of the boot features a KPU shell with no seams, keeping snow and water out. Your feet will stay dry even on slushy days.
Ascent Super Foam Outsole: This outsole includes a SuperFoam layer for maximum cushioning. The pattern is inspired by snowcat treads for excellent grip.
OC Kush: Gel pads in the heel reduce shock and cushion landings for a more comfortable ride, allowing for longer sessions.
Silver Liner: An inner boot without pressure points that’s easy to take on and off. Features Velcro straps on both sides to prevent tongue rotation and an adjustable flex zone around the toes for flexibility. The liner can also be molded if needed to eliminate pressure points.
3D Molded Dual Density Sole: An extra layer of EVA provides support for the deep heel and arch. A silicone print on top ensures grip to the fleece-lined footbed.
Asym 3F: The boot has an asymmetrical shape and closure system for enhanced support and flex. The asymmetrically placed Boa lacing reduces pressure points and increases medial support at the arch to reduce fatigue and cramping.
Articulating Flex Zone: The upper part of the boot is asymmetrically connected to the lower part, allowing the ankle to flex naturally while providing support without deforming the shell. A thermal insulation barrier between the outsole and the inner boot keeps warmth in and cold out.
1:1 Lasting: The new last features an 8° forward lean, providing the perfect balance between comfort and performance. The 1:1 last ensures a specific inner boot, shell, and footbed for each full and half size. Separate lasts for men’s, women’s, and youth boots ensure anatomical accuracy.
3D Molded Toebox: Reinforced toe box without extra layers and seams around the forefoot for increased durability and a streamlined design. This also makes it easier to slide in and out of bindings.
3D Molded Tongue: An anatomically correct and asymmetrical tongue that performs better than a standard flat one.
Rubber Backstay: Protects the back of the outsole and boots from wear. The lower part, called the "Transition Zone," aligns with the outsole to facilitate easier entry and exit from bindings without catching.
Armor-Tech: Armor-tech is a TPU strip that wraps around the front of the boot to protect against wear, safeguard your toes while walking, and reduce boot pack-out.
