Burton Men's SL-9 Snowboard Boot

Loaded with incredible comfort and performance features, the Burton SL-9 snowboard boot is the king of the mountain on changing terrain. It's not as stiff as the Burton Ion or Driver X, but it's a perfect balance for riders who need competition stiffness with the flexibility to go all day. The SL-9 features Burton's best Imprint liner with Outlast Adaptive Comfort technology in both the footbed and the liner to adapt to changing insulation needs. Outlast technology is a thermal phase-changing material that helps absorb excess heat while you're hiking up backcountry ridges and releases the thermal warmth as your feet chill during long rides down the fall line. The result is a more consistent insulation performance that you can count on in changing weather conditions. Another key trait on the SL-9 is the emphasis on lightweight components, which help optimize power transmission through your bindings to your snowboard. This season Burton added a new lightweight air frame with heel cushioning and retained the thin low-profile outsole. The solar reactive color shifting leather might be a new item, but this is the same ultra-lightweight leather shell design that pushed the performance envelope last season. If you hit all terrain and want to ride faster, longer and harder, the Burton SL-9 is a big step up from conventional snowboard boots out there.
