It is designed as a true hybrid boot. It offers the stiffness and power needed for aggressive resort skiing while maintaining the lightweight construction and 54-degree range of motion required for efficient backcountry touring.

The BOA system replaces traditional instep buckles with a dial-based cable system. This allows for a more precise, uniform closure that eliminates common pressure points across the top of your foot, resulting in a more comfortable fit for long days on the mountain.

Yes, both the shell and the liner are heat-moldable. This allows a professional boot fitter to customize the shape to your specific foot anatomy, which is particularly helpful if you have unique pressure points or need a more precise hold.
