Burton's most advanced freestyle boot drops excess ounces so you can kick up the amplitude.

A preferred pick among Burton's best freestyle pros the Ion snowboard boot is a great fit for guys who don't need the over-the-top stiffness of the Burton Driver X. It's a combination of high performance lightweight components and excellent comfort. This season Burton refined the boot with a lighter mesh upper a new wrap Asym Cuff and an improved Imprint 4 Liner with Power Panel 2.0. The Outlast® Adaptive Comfort™ technology in both the footbed and the redesigned liner adapt to your changing insulation needs better than conventional liners. Outlast® technology is a thermal phase-changing material that helps absorb excess heat while you're hiking up backcountry ridges and releases the thermal warmth as your feet chill during long rides down the fall line. The result is a more consistent insulation performance that you can count on throughout the day. The Power Panels inside the liner contain memory foam materials that snap back to their original positions far better than the traditional boot materials that typically "pack in" after a season of hard use. The Imprint 4 Liner is almost as tricked out as the top-of-the-line Imprint 5 liner in Burton's SL-10 but it doesn't feature the Rebound Rods that are probably best suited for all-terrain riders. Along the inner cuff you'll find Burton's removable J-bars--a great option for terrain and competitive challenges that demand extra heel hold and precision. If you prefer the park and pipe to any other place on the mountain the Ion snowboard boot is the perfect choice for taking your tricks and riding skills to the highest level.
