BOA Snowboard Boots

BOA snowboard boots use dials to adjust tension, which can be convenient when gloves and cold fingers make laces awkward. Look beyond the number of dials. Check which part of the boot each one tightens and whether you can change ankle hold without squeezing the forefoot. Fit and flex still come first: a closure cannot turn the wrong shell shape into the right boot. Try releasing and retightening the system before buying, and check how the liner closes too. Skip a pair that only holds your heel when the rest of your foot feels crushed, however easy the dials are to turn.
