360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – Eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.

The Arbor Hemlock Snowboard Bindings are ideal for riders taking a freestyle-first approach to their riding. Symmetrical highbacks have 5 degrees of lateral pre-rotation for maximum freedom of movement, while Arbor's System X baseplate connects you directly to your board for improved response as you line up your next trick.
Flex rating – 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
System X – The System X design evenly distributes a rider's energy into their snowboard. No matter where pressure is applied to the binding, the System X allocates energy across the baseplate's structural X shape, and out to the four cardinal points. The result is quicker, more effective control. 15% glass content for added strength and stability.
50A Durometer Outsole – The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design and sits between the binding and a rider's snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high-frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high-impact landings. On the Cypress, Arbor uses a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.
Adjustable Extruded Aluminum Heelcup – Highly durable extruded aluminum, designed to work with the Mini-Disk for amazing adjustability. Use the highback to center the foot and the disk to fine-tune your stance width.
Fiberglass Reinforcing – The Hemlock and Sequoia, feature a 15% glass content for a softer, more forgiving ride; while the Cypress have 30% glass content for added strength and stability
EVA Footbed
Tool-less Forward Lean Adjustment
Hemlock 2 Asymmetrical Highbacks with 5° Lateral Pre-Rotation
BioStraps – Arbor’s plant-based BioStrap takes the place of harmful petrol-based plastics focusing on heel lock and secure fit, with a comfortable curvature and low profile, single-injection ankle strap. Stronger, lighter, more sustainable, and the first of its kind.
Bow-Strap Adjuster – Arbor's patented "Bow-Strap" adjuster and ladder strap swings out of the way quickly and easily, making binding entry a simple, user-friendly experience. The pre-curved strap steers clear of your boot while maintaining form and durability in even the coldest conditions.
Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Buckles and Levers
Cast Aluminum Buckles and Levers – Offering ultra-reliable performance with long-term durability and a tighter, stronger click for an unparalleled boot-to-binding connection.
2x4 Universal Mini-Disc – Mini-Disks require less surface area and along with the System X help provide a more organic snowboard flex underfoot. They are channel compatible.
The Vans Aura Pro Snowboard Boots are like the mullet of snowboarding—business-tight BOA® system in the front, all-day party on the mountain. With a medium flex that’s responsive yet playful, they’re perfect for riders who want to charge the groomers, slash some pow, and still have enough sauce left to hit side hits on the way to après. Comfortable, capable, and just a little bit rowdy—these boots bring the pro vibes without taking themselves too seriously.
Flex Rating – 5 - 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Instep Flex Zone – The Instep Flex Zone functions to maintain natural ankle flexion in your boot, whether in or out of your bindings.
Pleasurecuff – The supple elasticity of the PleasureCuff delivers a cushioned, comfortable fit that keeps your calves supported.
V2 UltraCush™ Smartwool® Liner – This inner features Smartwool merino wool fabric, which transfers and eliminates moisture. An UltraCush layer provides all-day comfort with minimal seams, and a neoprene forefoot gives a natural flex. A dual-density heat-moldable core is bolstered by the latest X-Cage--extra security and heel hold that keeps you in contact with your board at all times.
V2 Boot Harness – Customize your heel hold with the V2 harness as it works in tandem with the V2 liner to provide enhanced support and personalized fit.
BOA® Fit System with Vans Custom Focus – Custom Focus features a high-power coiler reel and a mid-power remote reel to control three zones of closure linked by Vans’ exclusive Custom Slide Guide, delivering concentrated closure around the instep area for focused heel hold.

V2 POPCUSH™ Footbed – A dual density footbed that combines impact cushioning with energy transfer, the V2 POPCUSH™ fights fatigue with anatomical shaping, TPU arch support, a nylon moisture-wicking topsheet, and a coring design with airflow perforations.
V2 Waffle Pro with All-Trac Rubber Compound – The V2 Waffle Pro is a progressively inspired and capability-driven design built for both on and off snowboard performance. Uncompromising natural flex and a weight-reducing, impact-resisting UltraCush midsole provide incredible boardfeel, while a Vans-exclusive pattern and All-Track rubber compound give you the confidence you need to scramble the sidecountry with confidence.
Heat Retention 360º – All Vans snowboard boots feature a newly improved thermal retention layer that provides a 360° wrap of the toe box and between the outsole and the liner. This essential layer keeps heat in and cold out, ensuring all-day warmth and comfort.
