• V3 SUPERENDURO WAFFLE OUTSOLE: Inspired by the extended cross-country and off-road demands of moto enduro racing, the V3 SuperEnduro outsole is designed to offer maximum performance in and out of your bindings. Multi-directional tread design? Surface-level texturing? A TPU toe pick? Check, check, and check. There’s no keeping up with this all-terrain apex predator.
• ALL-TRAC COLD WEATHER RUBBER COMPOUND: All-Trac is formula-based, proprietary rubber compound developed by Vans. This specialized cold weather recipe is optimized with increased flexibility, which allows lugs to bend with terrain changes, creating more surface area and better variable adaptability.
• WATERPROOF ZIPPER SHROUD + D-RING: This feature is a durable and weatherproof fabric shield that protects the lower part of your boot from snow, ice, and moisture, ensuring easy access to your BOA® closure no matter what the weather throws at you. It also features a metal D-ring for securely fastening your pant gaiters to lock out snow.
• VANS FLEX CONTROL SYSTEM: Our removable, high-rebound Hytrel® tongue stiffeners enable riders to custom-tune their boot flex. Keep both in for maximum support, use just one for increased lateral or medial response, or take them both out for a softer-flexing boot. As your boots soften up over time, add the tongue stiffeners back in to extend the life of your boots.
• BREATHABLE VALVES: These waterproof valves allow one-way moisture management by transporting moisture away from your foot, ensuring breathability and thermal regulation for dry, comfortable feet.
• ASYMMETRICAL FLEX ZONE
• POWERCUFF STRAP: The PowerCuff Strap provides extra support at the top of the boot for increased stability and response.
• V3 HARNESS: This advanced support harness delivers our highest level of support to the ankle and instep, keeping the V3 liner and boot shell locked in and connected.
• INSTEP FLEX ZONE: The Instep Flex Zone functions to maintain natural ankle flexion in your boot, whether in or out of your bindings.
• VANS HEAT RETENTION 360°: All Vans snowboard boots feature a newly improved thermal retention layer that provides a 360° wrap of the toe box and between the outsole and the liner. This essential layer keeps heat in and cold out, ensuring all-day warmth and comfort.
