Flex:
Flex Rating: 6 - 9 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Vans Flex Control System: Removable high-rebound Hytrel® tongue stiffeners allow riders to custom-tune their flex. Slide them both in for maximum support, use just one to provide either increased lateral or medial response or leave them out for a softer-lexing boot. As boots soften up over the course of a season, you can add the tongue stiffeners back in to extend the life of your boots.
Liner:
V3 UltraCush™ Liner: The V3 liner represents pinnacle performance, support, and custom comfort. It features an asymmetrical adjustable and/or removable X-cage for precision heel hold, plus an arsenal of tech features engineered to over-deliver for even the most demanding riders.
TNF Flashdry™: New for the 18/19 season. Vans worked with The North Face to develop the first-to-market Flashdry™ equipped snowboard boot. FlashDry™ fabric technology is engineered to act like a second skin against the body, pushing moisture to the surface of the fabric and eliminating it as fast as possible, keeping the user dry, cool and comfortable during high aerobic activities.
Lacing System:
Boa Custom Focus Plus: The Boa Custom Focus Plus system consists of two high power reels that control three zones of closure linked by Vans’ patent pending Custom Slide Guide. The result is concentrated closure around the critical instep area for superior heel hold.
Vans Custom Slide Guide: Anatomical shape provides adjustable fit anywhere along the instep area for added comfort and unrivaled heel hold.
Footbed:
V3 UltraCush™ Footbed: Dual-density UltraCush™ Lite construction with forefoot and heel impact relief pads / Co-molded cork/recycled EVA heat-moldable arch support cradle / 3D-molded anatomical shape / Airflow perforations / Nylex moisture-wicking top sheet
Sole:
V3 Ultimate Waffle: UltraCush midsole construction for lightweight performance and advanced dampening / Aggressive perimeter lug pattern for increased traction and optimum snow release / Co-molded asymmetrical ESS arch cradle for additional support and response
