All-mountain fit & equipped to split! Built for the resort and ready for the splitboarding tracks, the Skylab TLS is the lightest splitboarding boot on the market and a fit so good it will be your go-to all-mountain snowboarding boot at the resort. But, let's be honest, most people only go splitboarding a few times a season, so it would be great to reduce consumption by creating a versatile boot like the Skylab to excel at for both at the resort and in the backcountry. The Skylab TLS boot is engineered to be lightweight, durable in all the right places to make it splitboard compatible, but more importantly, designed to offer a fantastic fit for any day on or off the marked trails.

FEATURES:

• CLOUD 8 LINER: Pre-molded Thermacell offers minimum weight and maximum comfort, Re/Lace Liner Locker, Latex Memory Pads for a lifetime heel fit, Flex Toe expands for custom toe box fit, Dual Density Ortholite® Footbed for top notch control and cushioning.
• VIBRAM® OUTSOLE W/ECOSTEP™ COMPOUND: Vibram grip and traction and an Eco-friendly approach: here is the new sole of Nitro. An eco-friendly recycled rubber compound developed by Vibram and made of up to 50% recycled rubber. It’s a high-quality compound formulation, which offers a very good Vibram grip and traction on snow while preserving the environment through waste reduction.
• EVA MIDSOLE: Used on all boots with rubber outsoles, the EVA midsole reduced the overall weight and provides cushioning and thermal insulation.
• ENDURE® GRAVITY FOAM TOE PROTECTION: Allows for the use of soft crampons when hiking on slippery or icy surfaces.
• TLS TWIN LACING SYSTEM: Nitro leading the pack with the TLS lacing system: Easy lace engagement and release, combined with the low abrasion of their Dyneema® laces are the key factors of this highly reliable zonal lacing system. At the same time, the TLS features a compact size and low weight while maintaining the reliability proven by tens of thousands of days on the mountain.
• HIKE ‘N’ RIDE CONSTRUCTION: A construction specifically made for making the transition and performance between hike and ride mode easier and more beneficial for the rider. Hike mode offers a softer flex and ride mode is a more responsive and rigid flex.
• BAIL OUT SYSTEM: Designed to make unlacing the TLS system even easier. This pull tab that is placed in the middle of the TLS lacing system on the outside of the boot allows for effortless unlacing and recording breaking speeds for taking your boots off.
• 45° LACEGLIDER: This precision-molded low-friction plastic insert is positioned at the crucial 45° lacing position in the ankle area. It drastically reduces lace friction and makes tying up your TLS system even easier.
• AIR DAMPENING: The lightest shock absorbing technology on the planet sucks up hard landings and keeps your heels from getting bruised. This noticeable difference in ride and comfort does not sacrifice any response and control.
• FLEX LINK DESIGN: A flexible panel at the ankle between the upper and lower shell ensures an even flexing, responsive boot without the bulk.
• INTERNAL ANKLE SUPPORT: An anatomically shaped molded plate distributes lace pressure over the instep/ankle area. More comfort and a better, more precise fit.
• ILS LINER LACING: Nitro’s ILS system features a lacing harness firmly connected to the boot shell. This harness snugly wraps around the liner, securing it in the shell and providing precise lacing and fit, and is built with a Dyneema® core for added strength.
• RE/LACE LINER LOCKER: Another innovation from Nitro’s friendly R&D department at Nitro: The RE/LACE Liner Locker provides easy adjustability of your inner boot lacing when your boot shell is already tightened (tied), by just pulling up on the lace handle. This allows you to (re)tighten your liner and foothold throughout the day (wherever you may find yourself on the mountain) without having to untie your boot.
