HARDGOODS 25/26

[michaelangelo]

I’ll get some more screen grabs soon, traveling for work lately and just all over the place.

Those seem to solve my complaint about non lace boots. That complaint being the only part of the boot I want tight is around the ankle. I run the top and bottom loose. You can’t get there with double boa or speed zone.

yeah, I run the bottom of my infuses as loose as possible and then crank the heel harness, feels good man

IIRC, none of b's non-SO boots have this system. triple boa is kinda bonkers, but i think i'd like the my infuses even more if it had the boa heel harness, upper with laces, and then lower boa after giving it some thought.

Looks like something Neo would've worn to plug into the Matrix .

PS. Also wear my Longo Infuse similar to your Infuse @michaelangelo, barely dial my BOA and just do my laces and velcro strap as snug as I'm able. Too much cranking on the BOA makes my foot feel uncomfortable, esp that I crank my ankle straps pretty tight.

Yeah, my K2 TT has an internal ankle harness to accomodate that

[Msteff]

The TTs seem pretty dope. The way that ankle harness works is very interesting. They’re one of the very few boa boots I’d consider.

yeah I'm straight up laces guy for life, but two seasons ago after seeing a few of my friends ride with them I gave them a try.

only complaint is the footprint is def larger than my Tactical ADVs

I dont think I'd use them for long split tours either, prob fatigue faster with a boot this soft

Nidecker will also have a triple boa next season. the third boa is something like a powerstrap. it looks interesting but does it really make sense?

[Kevington]

It makes perfect sense if you can charge €50 extra per BOA dial.

so you think that's their only intention?
