TECHNICAL SPECS
Traditional Lace Fit System w/ Lace Cover – Top-to-bottom traditional shell lacing provides a custom fit and hassle-free simplicity. A lace cover helps keep snow out of your tongue area, reducing the ability for snow to get inside your shell.

H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System w/ Walk Mode – Unique to this model, K2 integrated a walk mode feature powered by an H4 BOA® Fit System Dial. This allows for longer strides on the ascent without sacrificing performance and stability on the way down. Less fatigue equals more laps.

Intuition® Pro Foam 3D Liner – One of the most supportive liners out there, featuring a high-density Intuition® foam for added support without sacrificing comfort. This liner features both internal and external J-Bars around the ankles, where extra support is needed.

3-Point Harness Liner Lacing – A straightforward solution that doesn t skimp on support. This system aims to optimize heel hold, while providing ankle support and unrivaled stability to help reduce fatigue.

3D Dual Density Footbed – Provides anatomically correct cushioning and support. The dual density provides support where you need it and a little more cushion where you want it.

Vibram® V5 Outsole w/ Harshmellow™ – K2’s most premium rubber compound provides industry leading durability and grip and integrated with Harshmellow™ foam to absorb chatter and vibration.

Harshmellow™ – A magical dampening system that replaces industry standard foam dampening materials. Harshmellow™ is strategically placed to dampen vibration underfoot to provide for a more quiet feel underfoot, reduce vibration from impact, and reduce fatigue while snowboarding.

S Cafe™ Coffee Mesh – With functionality and sustainability in mind, K2 coffee mesh is made from recycled post-consumer coffee grounds that is combined with post consumer recycled polyester. This mesh enhances odor control and moisture management of their standard lining mesh and is made from 95% recycled material with no added chemicals.

FITTING YOUR BOOTS
– To properly assess the fit of any boot you must lace or buckle it completely. The boot will feel small until you do this because your toes will be pushed to the front until laced or buckled. Also, keep in mind all boot liners stretch out and get bigger.
– First, lace or buckle the boot loosely. Next, flex into the boot to drive your heel into the heel pocket. Doing this makes room for your toes. Lastly, finish lacing or buckling the boot in a flexed position.
– Be sure to wear the boots for at least 10 minutes fully laced or buckled before making a determination. Remember these boots are not made for walking, keep your knees slightly bent and flexed forward into riding position. When doing this your heels should be pushed into the back of the boot and your toes should be comfortable.
– You should wear the thinnest sock you are comfortable with. Blood flow is the number one thing that keeps your feet warm. Adding more material around your feet with thicker socks increases the chances of reducing blood flow.
– To help your foot sit properly in your boot, you may consider an aftermarket footbed like Superfeet® or Sidas®. A footbed with arch support, not just cushion, helps align your foot in the shell and alleviates pressure points. Footbeds should be sized to your arch height and length, not your shoe size.
– Spend some time choosing your boots, they are the most important piece of your gear!
