What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I took The Daily Snowboard Boot out on a few laps on a bindingless pow board, and the low-profile outsole gave me a level of board feel I did not expect from a proper boot. The Speed Gaiter kept everything sealed up during some pretty deep post-holing on the skin track, which made the whole setup feel a lot more dialed than I anticipated."Pow surfing occupies its own corner of snowboarding culture, one where bindings are optional, turns are drawn by instinct, and the whole point is to feel as connected to the snow as possible. It demands a boot that gets out of the way and lets that connection happen, which is exactly the problem Nitro set out to solve when they built The Daily Snowboard Boot around the specific needs of riding bindingless. The Cloud Surf Liner keeps things close and warm without the bulk of a traditional setup, channeling the same kind of feel you get from neoprene surf booties on a wave. DLS Shell Lacing with the Re/Lace Locker lets you cinch things down quickly and re-tighten on the fly without stopping to undo your whole boot, and the Shell Power Strap adds a top-down response option when the terrain calls for a little more control. The Speed Gaiter seals off the top of the boot with a one-handed diagonal zipper so powder stays where it belongs, which is under your feet rather than inside your boot.
