Northwave Decade SL Snowboard Boots '06

Northwave put their patented lacing system to use in the Decade SL2 Snowboard Boot. One pull of the SL Lace System gives you vice-like tightening. For this season, Northwave souped up the laces even more—the Decade SL2 now has dual laces so you can adjust the fit over your arch and around the ankle separately. This results in the elimination of gaps and hotspots for a fit that forms to your foot. Its three-ply upper tag teams with support and insulation so the Decade SL2 will drive into turns and react instantly while maintaining warmth around your toes. Equipped with the TF3 liner, this boot feels better every time you put it on. Northwave's natural rubber outsole provides advanced board feel and excellent grip.

Bottom Line: Northwave packs more than a decade of boot-making experience into the Decade SL2 Snowboard Boot.
