K2 Hanford BOA Boot 2023

The Contour has long been the favorite boot of K2's Women's team. This mid-to-stiff flexing boot is a no-bull, feature-forward snowboard boot that prioritizes performance and looks damn good doing it. The secret to the award-winning fit is K2's Conda liner lacing system. Powered by a BOA Fit System dial, this forgiving and adjustable harness is designed to pull the user's heel into the boot's heel pocket. This urethane-based harness hugs your ankle and flexes naturally. Externally, K2 started with an articulating cuff to reduce distortion when bending the knee, and they've integrated their Flex Zone calf panel at the top of the cuff, helping to keep legs happy all day long. A high-powered BOA Fit System H4 Coiler closes the shell securely and can be done without removing your gloves. Lastly, to add durability and maintain the boot's flex over the boot's lifetime, K2 constructed the K2 Contour using their Endo technology. Underfoot, they've used premium materials to improve damping and grip. The outsole is built using K2's proprietary This Grips! dual-rubber compound to provide excellent grip both on and off the snow. This is all set atop a dual-density midsole comprised of a lightweight EVA and K2's proprietary Harshmellow, designed to dampen vibration on rough terrain, and cushion big landings. Lastly, K2 wrap your feet in a breathable Intuition Pro Foam 3D liner, fully customizable and heat-moldable to fit the exact shape of your feet, and contains a 95% post-consumer recycled coffee mesh to control foot odor.

The 2024 K2 Afterblack is a premium freestyle snowboard that specializes in night missions, wall rides, huge airs, and promises to come through in the clutch to give you the confidence to give it one more go.  Designed for the intermediate-to-expert level snowboarder, the Afterblack is a mid-flexing true-twin with a Combination Camber Profile - with camber in between the bindings and rocker on the outside of the inserts - giving it a playful feel while still being able to hold speed and track straight into the next feature. Its tri-blend BAP Core blends bamboo, aspen, and paulownia woods together to deliver snap and rebound while damping vibration on the harshest landings. Wrapping the core, tip-to-tail triaxially woven fiberglass and Carbon DarkWeb gives the Afterblack stability and edge control for popping off lips and sending big side hits, and the fast and durable Sintered 4000 base soaks up wax to ensure you’ll have enough speed to send you well past the knuckle and down to the sweet spot in the landing.

Terrian: All Mountain / Freestyle

Board Shape: True Twin

Flex: 6/10

Camber: Twin Combination Camber – The best of both worlds. By blending both traditional Camber and Rocker profiles, Combination Camber gives you all the benefits of both; the pop and precision of camber, and the float and predictability of rocker.

Base: Sintered 4000 Base – Sintered 4000 base absorbs wax deep into the material for relentless glide and unrivaled durability.

Core: BAP Core – K2 has blended three species of renewable timber to assemble a core that’s strong, lightweight, and designed to enhance dampening without the addition of other materials.

Carbon DarkWeb – A carbon fiber lay-up that aids in energy transfer and stability, speeding up edge-to-edge transitions and keeping you in control in times of need.

Triaxial Glass – A glass laminate with diagonal layers that adds torsional stiffness for increased stability and improved edge hold. The fibers three layers of fibers are woven at 45°, 45°, and 0°. This makes for a more responsive ride longitudinally and torsionally.
