Burton Emerald

We use a variety of single and dual-component Power Spine™ backstays throughout the line to fine-tune medial/lateral support, edge-to-edge response, and, most importantly, durability. For ultimate power, check out the NEW Dual-Axis Power Spine backstay on the Driver X™.

Speed Zone™ lets you fine-tune your fit quicker and easier than any other lacing system out there. Customize the fit of the upper or lower zone in a matter of seconds—in the lift line, on the lift, or mid-run—without forcing your friends to wait. And because it’s so powerful, you’ll get more out of your boots—more rebound, more wrap, and better response—with less effort.

With more air comes more cushioning and less weight. NEW 270° Cushioning features a 50% larger airbag than 2009 and covers approximately 75% of the midsole for unstoppable impact protection.

Every boot we build rides differently. From the buttery-soft, progressive flex of the Hail™, to the lightning-fast response of the Driver X™, we fine tune the ride of every single boot to provide the widest range of performance in snowboarding.

We determine a boot’s support rating based primarily on the flex characteristics of the shell, outsole, and liner materials. Additional features like articulating cuffs, strategically placed shell paneling, 3D® molded tongues, and backstay constructions allow us to adjust the overall support. Based only as a comparison between the boots within our line, a rating of one is more relaxed while ten is more responsive.
