for a while i was convinced boa was the only way to go. but earlier this year i tried on some burton imperials and was impressed with the quick lace. what are your guys thoughts i know alotta people still rock traditional laces too.

I have traditional laces

i feel that i had to convince myself to spend 300 on boa but in the long i think boots are something not to go cheap on.

The quick lace with the turn dial? I was messing around in the store but it seems like one bump of your shoe you have to adjust again?

gmore10

turn dial is boa and i never really had a problem with the boas, the quick lace i was referring to was Burton has a boot where you just pull a string up and they tighten like your innerliner

MikeCL

Oh.. then what does Burton call the system on the jet?

Burton has some boots that have a dial now too. Similar to BOA, but these will let you loosen as well with out having to completely release the tension like on a BOA. check out: Tyro Snowboard Boot | Burton Snowboards

I like quick lacing systems like boa/burton's new or old system as long as they are zonal. I like to leave the midfoot fairly loose and the upper portion tighter.

thats the boa system here quick lace Burton Imperial Snowboard Boot - Men's from Dogfunk.com

yeah the guy above me was calling it the boa system but it clearly is not (messed with it in store) I haven't seen many reviews of it so I guess it's not that great.

Carry on!

Only problem i have with boas is it takes a little bi to get the boots dialed in perfectly. If i do it too tight it hurts so much and only way to fix it is to completely loosen it up and redo it mind you it takes 10 seconds but a quarter turn too tight hurts like a mother
