lol I am genuinely curious how many more boas we will see this season on the mountain. It was really sparse last season. Now with more brands adding more models things should pick up. Its not for everyone but im still happy with mine.

BOA boots are just what boots are at this point in my opinion. We are stopping even calling them BOA from 26/27 as we never used to called buckle boots BUCKLE haha. They fit and ski better so I kind of think the debate is over now hopefully and we can all just enjoy better fitting boots

The boa part is fine, but K2 boots were crap quality last year. Google “K2 ski boots broken” See for yourself lol

Yeah we did have some boots break and that sucked!! But look closely and most were older. We have made a lot of progress in improving the quality of both product and materials used and we are now at a place where our breakage rate is low. Is it zero no but no boot has a zero breakage rate. We are injecting plastics which have such a high rate of variables some breaks will always occur. But the boots are working well and we are stoked to show you what we have been working on with skiers like Max Hitzig and Mannon. You are going to see some really rad boots over the next year!!

Fully with you! I actually want to do this on our Fl3X/Full Tilt. It would be rad to pull the foot back. There are a few things we are working on before this but hopefully one day! It makes complete sense.

Have you guys started selling the new intuition wrap liners with the boa as a separate piece yet? Can’t seem to find it on the site.

The F24 season website has not launched yet, we are aiming for Mid Aug I believe. Once the website updates they should be available to order.
