Details The Nitro Skylab TLS Snowboard Boot Men's is your amazing all-day, any day all mountain snowboarding boot and the lightest split boarding boot on the market, so you don't have to compromise when you need the performance, versatility, and fantastic fit required from one boot that can take you anywhere on or off the marked trails. The Vibram® Outsole made of Vibram® Ecostep™ Compound, 3D fly knit-material on the toe, reinforced e-foam® toe cap, and Molded Spine protector provide the durability and protection that everyone needs for split boarding and the use of soft crampons when hiking on slippery or icy surfaces. The Internal Ankle Support and Hike n Ride Construction offer the ability to flex the spine of your boot naturally when you're hiking up on the skin trail with negative forward lean on your bindings, making it more comfortable and efficient traveling up-hill. All these features are what make the Skylab not only so light but enable it to offer its all-mountain everyday fit and response for enjoying every day at your local mountain. The Skylab is the perfect boot for any snowboarder out there looking for a dual-purpose boot- designed for everyday riding but equipped for split boarding, at a record minimum weight. Performance Response 7/10 - This is basically your boot's stiffness. The higher the number, the stiffer - and therefore more responsive and carveable - your boot will feel. Freedom 3/10 - This shows how flexible boot is in both medial and lateral directions. A higher number means more tweaks! Comfort 10/10 - Higher numbers here refer to more plush and cush in lining, footbed and outsole. But also a softer boot is more comfortable automatically. Liner Cloud 8 Liner Pre-Molded Thermacell: offers a minimum weight and maximum comfort Re/Lace Liner Locker: provides easy adjustability of inner boot lacing when shell is already tied tight, by just pulling up on the lace handle Latex Memory Pads: for a lifetime heel fit Flex Toe: expands for a custom toe box fit Construction Hike 'N' Ride Construction A new construction specifically made for making the transition and performance between hike and ride mode easier and more beneficial for the rider (together with the new forward lean adjustment and auto power strap). Hike mode offers a softer flex and ride mode is more responsive and rigid flex. Adjustable Forward Lean For adjusting the flex and response of the boot for riding mode (stiffer) or hike mode (looser). 45° Lace Glider This precision-molded low-friction plastic insert is positioned at the crucial 45° lacing position in the ankle area. It drastically reduces lace friction and makes tying up your TLS system even easier. Flex Link Design A flexible panel at the ankle between the upper and lower shell ensures an even flexing, responsive boot without the bulk. Spine Protection A flexible molded spine made of a TPR compound that is softer to allow for an even pressured lace closure, while providing medium flex and durability to the shape and spine of the boot. Internal Ankle Support An anatomically shaped molded plate distributes lace pressure over the instep/ankle area for a more comfortable, more precise fit. Internal Lacing System Nitro's ILS system features a lacing harness firmly connected to the boot shell. This harness snugly wraps around the liner, securing it in the shell and providing precise lacing and fit for less friction, with a Dyneema® core for added strength. eFoam® Toe Protection E-foam is used in collaboration with Lorenzi, Nitro's Italian partner. This innovative material is very light and elastic while maintaining extreme abrasion and ageing resistance and mechanical strength, offering the wearer extreme comfort when walking, trekking, or boarding in even the most severe climatic conditions. E-Foam grants improved foot protection and extends boot life, and is a more ecological alternative to rubber and PVC. Lacing TLS 5 (Twin Lacing System) Easy lace engagement and release, combined with the low abrasion of Nitro Dyneema® laces, are the key factors of this highly reliable zonal lacing system, the most developed dual-lacing system available. Also, the TLS 5 features compact size and low weight while maintaining the reliability proven by tens of thousands of days on the mountain. Rarely needed servicing and replacement of all parts including the lace are easier than with any other system on the market. Even using a standard lace if you're in a pinch is an option only available on Nitro's TLS boots. Easy-entry handle storage pockets Molded TLS Lace Handles Bail Out pull tab system for easier entry and exit. Insole Dual Density Ortholite® Footbed Therminator Shield This thermal layer between sole and liner will reflect your body heat and keep your feet warm all day. Midsole EVA Midsole Used on all Nitro boots with rubber outsoles, the EVA midsole reduces the overall weight and provides cushioning and thermal insulation.
