Our signature latex heel pads provide lifetime heel fit, while the clutch tongue makes boot entry and exit easier. The Cloud 10 liner features an additional power strap for a snug fit on top and a triple-density footbed for maximum cushioning and comfort, while the Re/Lace Liner Locker will allow for quick re-tightens easily and give you the perfect foothold.

Lacing systems:
TLS Powercord Lacing System (Shell)
Nitro leading the pack with the TLS Powercord lacing system: Easy lace engagement and release, combined with the low abrasion of our Dyneema® laces are the key factors of this highly reliable zonal lacing system. At the same time, the TLS Powercord features compact size and low weight while maintaining the reliability proven by tens of thousands of days on the mountain. Even though rarely needed, servicing and replacement of all parts including the lace are easier than with any other system on the market. Even using a standard lace if you‘re in a pinch is an option only available on Nitro‘s TLS boots.
Easy-entry handle storage pockets as well as our Bail Out system for easier entry and exit round off the most developed dual lacing system on the market.
ILS Lacing System (Liner)
Our ILS system features a lacing harness firmly connected to the boot shell. This harness snugly wraps around the liner, securing it in the shell and providing precise lacing and fit. Our engineered ILS laces provide less friction and a Dyneema® core for added strength.
Re/Lace Liner Locker
Another innovation from our friendly R&D department at Nitro: The RE/LACE Liner Locker provides easy adjustability of your inner boot lacing when your boot shell is already tied, by just pulling up on the lace handle. This allows you to (re)tighten your liner and foothold throughout the day (wherever you may find yourself on the mountain) without having to untie your boot.
Bail Out System
Designed to make unlacing the TLS system even easier. This pull tab that is placed in the middle of the TLS lacing system on the outside of the boot allows for effortless unlacing and recording breaking speeds for taking your boots off.

Construction:
VIBRAM ICETREK:
A new sole design developed specifically for our new INCLINE splitboarding boot. Tapping into decades of experience with mountaineering soles, we have teamed up with Vibram® to come up with this snowboarding-specific tread pattern and side profile. The result is a highly durable sole with an unparalleled grip due to ICETREKTM AND ARCTIC GRIP VIBRAM® compounds, combined with a snowboard-specific shape for reduced toe and heel drag.
VIBRAM ARTIC GRIP:
The Vibram® Arctic GripTM technology complements the outstanding performance of the Vibram® IcetrekTM compound and extends it to wet ice surfaces. Vibram® Arctic GripTM is made from a unique polymer blend, coupled with an advanced filler system and a new processing technique. The result is the most advanced cold weather gripping system ever created by Vibram.
AIR Dampening
Our trusted AIR suspension technology is now featured on even more models. The best shock absorbing technology on the planet sucks up hard landings and keeps your heels from getting bruised. This noticeable difference in ride and comfort does not compromise response or control.
D30 Technology
D3O® is a smart material that moves slowly and increases comfort when in a normal state, but when shock or impact is increased the materials lock together to absorb and disperse energy created upon impact, before instantly returning to its flexible state. What this means is that the material increases the overall comfort by absorbing impact from deep landings or choppy snow conditions – allowing you to go faster and deeper all day!
Therminator Shield
This thermal layer between sole and liner will reflect your body heat and keep your feet warm all day.
Armored Spine
We are using an anatomically shaped and 3D molded heel reinforcement to provide even boot flex and long-lasting heel fit.
Flex Link
A flexible panel at the ankle between the upper and lower shell ensures an even flexing, responsive boot without the bulk.
45° Laceglider
This precision-molded low-friction plastic insert is positioned at the crucial 45° lacing position in the ankle area. It drastically reduces lace friction and makes tying up your TLS system even easier.
Shall Power Strap
Crank down the top of your boot with this easy-to-use feature for more power distribution and response from the top down.
Internal Ankle Support
An anatomically shaped molded plate distributes lace pressure over the instep/ankle area: More comfort and a better, more precise fit.
Ortholite Footbeds
Together with OrthoLite®, the World’s Leading Supplier of Open-Cell Foam Insole Technology, we have developed footbeds in dual and triple density versions for different levels of support and comfort: OrthoLite® compresses less than 5% with excellent levels of shock absorption and energy return. Fit and comfort inside the boot will remain consistent for the life of the OrthoLite® product.
The unique open cell structure of OrthoLite® also creates a moisture management system inside the boot by moving moisture away from the foot leaving your feet drier. When the foot is removed from the shoe any remaining moisture dries very quickly due to the airflow allowed by the open cell network in the foam. OrthoLite® contains a patented anti-microbial formulation to fight fungus, bacteria, and odor. The biocide is added during formulation so that it is linked to the foam and will not wear off or lose effectiveness over time. The Aegis anti-microbial treatment is EPA and FDA approved. OrthoLite® is extremely lightweight providing optimum performance and without adding excess weight to the boot. OrthoLite® is completely washable and will not hydrolyze. Just throw them in your washing machine and they come out like new.
Hike ’n Ride
A new construction specifically made for making the transition and performance between hike and ride mode easier and more beneficial for the rider (together with the new forward lean adjustment and auto power strap). Hike mode offers a softer flex and ride mode is more responsive and rigid flex.
Adjustable Forward Lean
For adjusting the flex and response of the boot for riding mode (stiffer) or hike mode (looser).
Auto-Power Strap
An adjustable power strap located on the top part of the boot shell, that can be easily adjusted, opened and closed through a simple belt ring design. If you want a more responsive fit from the top of your boot than you tighten it if you want a looser fit or feel than you can loosen it or remove the power-strap.
Power Tongue Stiffener
For those looking for adjustable stiffness throughout the day or season, you can use our removable tongue stiffener to change between premium precision or more of a relaxed feel. From the steep and deep to the groomers, you can customize your boot feel perfect for your style.
Molded Toe Cap
A molded toe cap that provide space and protection for your toes.
