What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I toured a long ridge line in variable snow on the Covert Splitboard and the tapered directional shape gave me confident float once things opened up into deeper pow. The kick-tail let me ride switch through a tight section without ever feeling like I was fighting the board."United Shapes designed the Covert Splitboard for the kind of day that starts with skins on your feet and ends with a long, open descent you earned every foot of. The tapered, directional shape with positive camber gives the board confident edge hold on the skin track and stable footing on firm traverses, while early rise in the nose keeps you floating once the snow gets deep. A classic kick-tail adds a playful edge, letting you ride switch or work in a little creativity on the way down without sacrificing the control this board is built around. Karakoram hardware keeps the transition from tour mode to ride mode fast and dependable, so you spend less time fussing with gear and more time moving. Underneath it all, a poplar, paulownia, and beech core paired with uni-directional carbon and a hard glass topsheet keeps the ride lively without feeling twitchy, whether you're threading technical terrain or opening it up on a big open face.
