Photon Boa Snowboard Boot - Men's

Modeled after Burton's legendary Imperial Boot, the Men's Photon Boa Snowboard Boot dials in a precise, powerful feel for charging the steep and deep. Where it differs from the Imperial lies in the Dual Zone Boa closure. This means you'll be able to tighten the upper and lower zones separately with the spin of each dial, giving you a stiff, powerful flex for laying into swift carves and straight-lining steeps. Burton incorporates Lockdown tech, which means the lacing wraps behind the ankle to prevent heel lift from sapping your power transfer. All of Burton's Boa systems make use of New England Ropes for the lacing, ditching Boa's traditional steel wires for the natural flex and robust durability of this climbing-quality rope.

Seeing as it's modeled after the Imperial, the Photon Boa shares the same hard-charging mentality that's intended for freeride purists and powder junkies. The responsive flex gives you the instantaneous response desired for leaving your mark on natural terrain features and carving up freshly groomed runs. As one of Burton's high-end boots, it's hooked up with an Imprint 3 liner that's both supportive and resistant to breakdown over the course of a long season. This heat-moldable liner not only conforms to your feet to alleviate pressure points, but it's equipped with a removable J-Bar system for better heel hold. And to ensure optimal traction when you're scrambling along sketchy peaks in pursuit of powder, the Photon Boa's Vibram EcoStep sole features Ice Spikes that remain soft and grippy in cold conditions, much like you'd experience with a winter-specific tire for your vehicle.
