I decided to go with the K2 Boa Raider boot because the boot was one of the best fits I've had yet. Matched up with the Boa lacing system, the boots can be laced up with ease. The Boa system allows fast lacing my turning the dial, and unlacing by pulling the dial outward. The dial is controllable with your gloves on, the laces dont freeze up like cloth laces, and are replaceable with a kit. I havent seen anyones break yet.

The boot itself has a solid construction, the seams are double sewn, reinforced linings are inside the boot at the points where the boot flexes, channels where the metal laces pass are harder material, overall they seem to be contructed well.

I've been using these boots 2 seasons now, Ive got about 40 days on the slopes in them, and they are still firm, the lacing system works as it did the first day I bought them and they are in almost perfect condition.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good pair of snowboard boots. In addition compared to other boots, the price on these boots was very low for being name brand, and having the Boa system.

Pros: Inner removable boot, Boa wired laces.

Cons: Bottom of boot could use more grip. Is slippery in some conditions.
