Boot Type: Backcountry / All-Mountain
Boot Flex (1 = Soft / 10 = Stiff): 7/10
Lacing System: TLS 5 Twin Lacing System
The Nitro TLS 5 Twin Lacing System is one of the best speed lace systems on the market, with easy lace engagement and release, along with low abrasion Dyneema laces for long-lasting, reliable performance. TLS 5 features two independent upper and lower lacing zones, so you can lock in your ideal fit in a flash, adjust your lacing without needing to step out of your bindings, and bail out of your boots in record time at the end of the day.
Liner: Cloud 8 Liner
The newly upgraded Cloud 8 Liner was designed specifically for mountain exploration due to its comfortable, lightweight fit from a pre-molded Thermalight material that is slightly stiffer and more responsive than traditional EVA. The Re/Lace Liner Locker ensures a snug fit with no unwanted pressure points along your foot and latex memory pads give that rock-solid ankle retention you would expect in a liner of this quality. With a Dual Density Ortholite footbed you can guarantee endless comfort and foot support in all your hiking and riding endeavors.
ILS Liner Lacing
The Nitro ILS Liner Lacing system features a lacing harness directly connected to the boot shell that snugly wraps around the liner, firmly securing it in the shell for strong hold and a precise fit.
Re/Lace Liner Locker
The Re/Lace Liner Locker revolutionizes how a liner lace functions. During a day of snowboarding, your boots are going to loosen. Your foot settles, your boot expands, it happens. With the Re/Lace Liner Locker, once the laces are locked in at the start of the day all you need to do is pull the liner lace tab to retighten your liner, without ever needing to undo your boots.
Therminator Shield
The Therminator Shield is a thin thermal layer between sole and liner that reflects heat back into your boot, keeping your feet warm all day.
Cushioning / Traction: Vibram Ecostep Outsole made of Vibram Ecostep Compound with EVA Midsole
An incredibly grippy design for increased traction with an eco-friendly approach that is made of 50% recycled rubber, the Vibram Ecostep Outsole is a high-quality compound that offers grip and traction while preserving the environment through waste reduction. This outsole is combined with an EVA midsole, which reduces weight, increases impact absorption, and aids in heat retention.
Shell:
Flex Link
This boot features a flexible panel at the ankle for consistent flex without buckling and more response without adding bulk.
New Internal Ankle Support
This brand new internal ankle support system puts an anatomically molded plate over the top of your ankle, evenly distributing lace pressure and giving you a more precise fit.
Hike 'N' Ride Construction with Adjustable Forward Lean
A specifically designed shell construction that is made for making a more beneficial transition between hike and ride mode for splitboarding. The hike mode offers a softer flex and the ride is more responsive and rigid.
