The Jones Mtb Lite Snowboard Boot is built for a rider who earns their turns and still wants a stiff, responsive ride on the way down. A Quick Release Walk Mode frees the articulated cuff for a natural stride on the skin track, then locks back down to full stiffness the moment it's time to point the board downhill. A Performance XLT Liner adds heat-moldable structure through the flex zones for strong heel hold, while a carbon shank underfoot keeps the boot's response sharp without adding real weight. Built through a partnership between thirtytwo and Jones, the boot carries a heel cradle shaped specifically for crampon use, so the same boot that gets a rider to the top holds up on technical, icy approaches. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I dropped into a line after a two-hour bootpack and the boot still felt locked in, no dead spots, no delayed response. The internal harness kept my heel in place through the whole descent even after that much time on my feet."
