How do I buy the right size? The centimeter size of the boots does not correspond to the inside measurement. Therefore, measure the length of your foot, then choose to add 1-1.5 cm in boot size.
Measure the length of your foot. Then add 1-1,5 cm in boots size. If you have a foot that is 27cm long, you should choose a snowboard boot that is around 28-28,5 cm in boot size. 1 cm up works best for most people. Snowboard boots should have a tight fit, they will pack out 3-5 mm. Read more in our BOOTS GUIDE
Fate TLS is designed for riders who goes big and need a pair of supportive and comfortable boots. Nitro Fate TLS features one of the most advanced liners (Cloud 9 Liner) with distinct cushioning in the heel for optimal heel hold and fit right from day one. The liner can also be heat-molded for a personalized fit and is equipped with a footbed (Dual Density Ortholite Footbed) that absorbs impacts and wicks away moisture. The outsole comes from Vibram for the best grip, along with air cushioning in the heel (AIR). The quick lacing system (TLS & ILS) ensures a perfect fit without pressure points, while also making it easy to get in and out of the boots with minimal effort. Covering the lacing, there is a Speed Gaiter that keeps the snow out and your feet dry, while the Therminator Shield ensures they stay warm.

Lacing systems: TLS Lacing System (Shell) Nitro leading the pack with the TLS 5 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 5 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. ILSLacing 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/LaceLiner 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 EcoStep Yttersula: Vibram grip and traction and an Eco-friendly approach: here is the new sole of NITRO .... made of Vibram® ECOSTEPTM Compound, an eco-friendly recycled rubber compound developed by Vibram® and made up to 50% of recycled rubber. The rubber scrap generated by Vibram’s production process is recycled in order to produce Vibram® Ecostep compound. It’s a High-quality compound formulation, which offers a very good Vibram grip and traction on snow while preserving the environment through the waste reduction. 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. Therminator Shield This thermal layer between sole and liner will reflect your body heat and keep your feet warm all day. Speed Gaiter A zippered gusset to keep all the elements on the outside and your feet warm and dry. 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. 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.
