Photon Boa® Wide Specification:
Dual Zone Boa® System with NEW Sequence™ and Coiler™ with New England Rope Closure
The tongue mounted H4 Coiler is the top closure point for the boot. Geared at a ratio of 4:1, it quickly tightens the top half of the boot quickly and effortlessly. To tension the bottom half of the boot, the side mounted Coiler has been specifically designed to provide increased leverage to let you dial in the perfect tightness. This Dual Zone system gives you complete independence of the top and bottom halves of the boot, allowing you to almost instantly dial in the perfect fit and flex for whatever terrain you want to ride. TX3 is Boa’s first textile lace specifically designed and engineered for shell closure on snowboard boots, an alternative to the traditional steel lace. TX3 provides a softer, more flexible look similar to the characteristics of traditional lace. However, unlike your standard laces or speed-lace Boa has designed TX3 to be much smaller in diameter to work with the H4 system but still meet the necessary strength requirements for snowboard boots
Imprint™ 3 Liner with Focus Cuff and Hook and Loop Closure
The Imprint 3 Liners features Burton’s innovative DRYRIDE Heat Cycle™ technology. This breathable inner lining material utilises interwoven thermally activated carbon thread to capture and reflect heat inwards while wicking moisture away from the foot.
The Focus Cuff Heel Hold System boosts heel hold by hugging that sweet spot around your ankle. The Focus Cuff sits slightly higher on the ankle than most other heel hold systems giving increased response and control. To dial in the fit even further, the Imprint 3 Liner can be modified around the ankle by the addition of J Bars. These can be attached and detached quickly via the hook and loop fixings reducing heel lift for even the slimmest of feet.
The Hook and Loop closure allows you to obtain a super snug fit on the upper part of the boot. Working similar to a power strap it lets you transmit power effortlessly.
To help obtain the perfect fit, the Imprint 3 Liner is constructed from fully heat mouldable foam. This innovative material forms to the contours of your feet, reducing unwanted pressure points.
EST®Outsole with Vibram Traction Lug
Vibram® Traction Lug outsole with EcoStep™ rubber provides increased surface area for more contact points that grip the ground in a lighter weight package that uses 30% recycled rubber content, EST® optimized midsole lowers your center of gravity and improves board feel without sacrificing comfort, Shrinkage footbed reduction technology reduces the boot's overall footprint, minimizing toe drag.
Cushioning and Warmth
Sleeping bag reflective foil underfoot reflects heat back to the foot, improving both warmth and comfort in cold conditions, B3 gel cushioning provides maximum damping, doesn't harden in cold temperatures, and withstands repeated impact without breaking down
1:1 Firm Flex PowerUP Tongue
This dual density tongue construction has been designed to enhance rebound when flexing into the boot. This helps create a livelier and more responsive boot whilst also reducing material breakdown and the boot becoming to soft.
Total Comfort Construction
Get an instantly broken-in feel right out of the box. Total Comfort’s industry-exclusive construction eliminates the break-in period for a fit that feels just as good from day 1 to 100.
StepOn® Backstay
This reinforced backstay has been developed exclusively for the StepOn® system. Designed to deliver a slightly stiffer flex to offset the effect of the strap being attached to the binding. It also gives a reinforced attachment for the heel cleat.
