Critical climbs and exposed lines are the men's Burton Driver X Snowboard Boot's domain. Its burly demeanor is balanced by practical upgrades in warmth and comfort. A one-two punch of DRYRIDE Heat Cycle and Sleeping Bag reflective foil captures and radiates body heat while wicking away heat-robbing sweat. Total Comfort balances the power with a perfectly broken-in feel right from the start. Grippy Vibram EcoStep outsoles cling to the mountain with confidence. Add it all up and you get the only choice for riders who hike, sled, guide, or patrol.

As Burton's highest performance option, the Men's Burton SLX Snowboard Boots combine the latest materials with versatile flex and feel that's at home anywhere you are. The boot supports every move with a fluid flex and maximum support thanks to an articulating cuff that lets the upper and lower areas respond independently. Shock absorption is equally advanced with ReBounce bringing cushioning closer to your foot, while a hybrid outsole puts traction where you need it without adding weight. The liner shaves more grams without compromising on durability, keeping feet warm and comfortable with heat-reflective tech.

Skintrack or summit bid, the men's Burton backcountry Tourist Snowboard Boot handles the mountains with surefooted confidence. More negative flex than any other boot in the line enhances glide in the skintrack, while an array of insulating features are key on pre-dawn starts or snow camping missions. Developed with team riders plus the crew at Spark R&D, the Tourist sticks to the same trusted Vibram sole found on the Driver X for near legendary billy goat grip.
