"Plainly put, the BOA Fit System has had a dramatic impact on the ski industry. However, the BOA Fit System itself isn't actually new to snow sports. Born in 2001, the BOA Fit System changed the way snowboarders laced up their boots. Instead of having to tie their laces, they were introduced to the BOA Fit System, a dialed lace system. This new system consisted of a simple dial connected to a stainless steel lace stitched strategically across the tongue of the boot."
"When turned to the right, the dial pulled the boot closed, tightening the stainless steel lace. Snowboarders could now toss their boots on and quickly tighten them up-righty tighty, before popping to release. The BOA Fit System gave a tighter, more precise fit to snowboard boots. In the last 20-plus years, the BOA Fit System has advanced across a variety of outdoor sporting industries. It can be found on most helmets, trail running shoes, biking shoes, hiking boots, golf shoes, and more."
Aunika tested the Atomic Hawx 115 Ultra XTD single BOA in size 24.5 over a 50+ day Colorado season at Copper Mountain, Winter Park, and Loveland. John tested the K2 Cortex 130 Zonal double BOA in size 24.5 over 20+ days around Lake Tahoe. The BOA Fit System was born in 2001 for snowboarding and uses a dial and stainless steel lace to provide quick, precise closure and easier entry. The system expanded across many outdoor sports and debuted on select ski boots in 2023, initially replacing just the lower buckles.
