Default boa snowboard boots... what's people opinion on them?

i've never tried a pair. seems like a better method than the normal lace systems of boots. anyone have any thoughts?

Default prefer the speed lace system on Saloman and Ride boots

Burton has a pretty good one, so long as the boot fits your foot well (put mine to sleep, as do their bindings).

Dunno, just something about the boa system I don't like.

What is wrong with tying your laces? I have did it for nearly 20 years.

Default my current boots are Salomon F22s from like 5 years ago.

i actually think they are very comfortable boots. Right now, I'm leaning towards replacing them with this year's F24s.

This year's Burton IONs look pretty cool, too. i've never tried on burton boots, though. i might try some on this weekend and see how they feel.

Anyways, I haven't used the BOA lacing system, but have seen them around. Just wanted to hear some people's experiences with them.

thx

Default pulling a string to tighten the boots and having the string stay taught.

that's easier than tying your shoe. sorry if that seems lazy to you. i think it also does a better job of keeping your boots tight.

not sure why you seem so animated by this?

I am just giving you a hard time. I only tie my boots once a day and have for years.
