Burton: Men's Serow Snowboard Boot

Created specifically for freeriders, Burton's Serow offers a wider range of motion than any other full-featured boot for expert snowboarders. It's not as rigid as the Driver X or Ion boots, but it does offer more support potential than The White Collection Series. This season Burton redesigned their heat-moldable Imprint 3 liner without taking away any of the customizable refinements like the J-Bar adjustable heel hold system and the Outlast® Adaptive Comfort™ technology. 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 throughout the day. The Power Panels inside the liner contain memory foam materials that snap back to their original positions far better than the traditional boot materials that typically "pack in" after a season of hard use. You'll also find B3 gel cushioning inside the Vibram® outsole for added impact-absorption on big air landings. The Serow has a Streamlined Speed Zone lacing system that allows you to tighten and loosen the support along key areas to match the terrain, so you're not uncomfortably hogtied in a vise like other high-end snowboard boots. If you like the surfy sensations of float and flow freeride, the Serow has the perfect flex, especially if you're spending the day in knee-deep powder.
