This boot offers touring capability with the Interchangeable Soles and Cuff Mobility System, without sacrificing downhill performance. Gone are the days of choosing between the convenience of a better "up" boot versus a kick butt alpine "down" boot. Get the Bushwacker and get it all. The Air Shell Fit System allows you to customize the fit anywhere, anytime. Need a little wiggle room while heading UP the mountain but want a snug performance fit for the ride DOWN? Air Shell - custom fit on demand!

Neoprene Toe Box
Interchangable Soles - switch easily from DIN to a tech compatible sole for exceptional versatility and awesome performance. The tech soles are available for purchase and are easily switched out with the allen key provided.
Arch Grip Support - a rubber insert on the arch is designed to give traction while walking on rocks or riding your snowmobile.

9 Teeth Cuff Catch with Hike Position
Lightweight Triax plastic offers excellent flex characteristics, more flexibility in extreme cold temperatures, and maintains a stiffer flex in warmer temperatures than traditional plastics.
3 Alu Buckles
i-REBOUND features a metal plate that attaches the cuff to the lower shell with four connection points and provides flex resistance and power rebound as well as rear support.
Air Shell offers a fast and easy, instantaneous custom fit enhancement through an air bladder that is positioned between the liner and the shell and extends around the heel pocket and into the forefoot area. The top pump inflates the air bladder and the lower button deflates. The air flows into the bladder only filling in the gaps (for example for better heel hold) for an instant fine-tuning of the fit. As an added benefit, air acts as an insulator enhancing warmth.
Cuff Mobility System allows a long range of motion for uphill mobility. An easy switch from hike to ski mode offers great versatility. A wide cuff buckle and a Hook-and-Loop Fastener strap with buckle combine for a super secure closure. Click into ski mode for top performance heading down the mountain. To release the cuff: Pull up on the device tab. Flex forward until you hear a click to release the cuff and then move freely. To click into ski mode: Push the device down and flex forward until you hear the cuff lock into place.
