Features:
- Stage 4 premium liner - delivers an unprecedented out-of-the-box fit. With a precisely tailored anatomical design and a refined heel pocket, the liner hugs the contours of your foot while maximizing performance. An external heel harness further cradles your foot while providing exceptional heel hold, as well as quick and secure lacing. For additional comfort, the Stage 4 liner sports a roomier toebox with a four-way stretch material. The freshly-designed back panel further enhances the liner’s fit while optimizing support. And for an unsurpassed custom fit, the liner can be thermofitted—with or without toe caps.
- BOA® Fit system - Dial in to a fast, effortless, precision fit with the BOA® Fit System, which delivers more explosive action and unparalleled accuracy. Boots with a dual zone BOA® configuration provide zonal adjustability so you can create a truly customized fit, for even longer days on the hill.
- Vibram® EastRidge sole - With an emphasis on traction and durability, it excels whether you’re hiking, skinning, or riding. Its proven Vibram ICETREK rubber compound is specifically engineered to endure very low temperatures and provide superior grip on cold and icy surfaces. Special climbing zones in the toe and heel area offer additional traction to make ascents safer and easier. And thanks to lugs with a self-cleaning design, the sole readily sheds snow, dirt, and rocks.
- Custom Flex - Thanks to two separate flex zones at the ankle, this design provides complete control of the boot‘s flex and ensures your heel stays locked in place.
- The Flex Booster strengthens a boot’s tongue, creating a stiffer flex while offering additional support. (optional)
- Backbone - This reinforced panel cradles the back of the boot to maximize durability and enhance response.
- Double Back - the reinforced rubber highback at the boot’s heel zone enhances durability by offering protection from binding abrasions. It also stiffens the boot to boost response and adheres better to a binding’s highback. By improving the interface between the boot and binding, the Double Back reduces movement between them, offering greater control and precision.
- Pre-shaped XLS (Extra long Stride) system - For enhanced comfort and longer strides when skinning, this system extends the range of motion available at the rear of the boot. Simply put, it helps you get up the mountain faster–and with less effort.
- D-Tex Membrane - This waterproof and breathable membrane ensures your feet stay warm and dry
- Freeride Tongue is a smooth operator. Especially plush, it maximizes comfort and cushioning while also enhancing durability. At home exploring the entire mountain, it loves to lay down turns that are especially smooth. It sports a three-position pocket that can accommodate an optional Flex Booster for a truly custom ride. This enables you to personalize the flex of your boot and tailor it to be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.
- Rock Guard - This layer of rubber wraps around the toebox and sides of the boot, maximizing durability by providing protection from rocks and ice.
- Power strap provides extra support for your shin to enhance response.
- Traditional lacing provides a classic look and feel.
- Flex rate: 6/10 (original), more with a flex boosted
