We’re suckers for anything that closes with a BOA. They are easy to fasten, quick to adjust, and they hold all day long without requiring any fuss. That’s why we’re diggin’ Vans‘ new Pat MooreInfuse all around snowboard boot (and matching Sk8-Hi MTE and a Slip-Er). Here are the details from Vans.
Pioneering the concept of an all-terrain snowboard boot, the Pat Moore-endorsed Infuse employs a myriad of sophisticated performance features to offer riders unlimited adaptability. Constructed with the Vans Flex Control System to allow riders to custom-tune the flex of their boot, the Infuse also utilizes the Vans Hybrid Plus Boa closure system with a custom slide-guide for the best closure accuracy and flex variability in a complete all-in-one system. This one-of-a-kind boot also offers heat-moldable liners with a removable X-cage for maximum heel hold, V3 UltraCush Lite footbeds, and new for this season, the Infuse boasts new Ultimate Waffle outsoles that provide more heel dampening, arch support and the response and weight reduction snowboarders dream of.
Sounds like a good set up for life in the snows. Follow the jump for the official word from Vans. [click to continue…]
