About the Nidecker Helios APX
To celebrate the launch of the Instinct board series, the all new Nidecker Helios APX snowboard boots offer a stiff, responsive feel, with tons of soft cushiony support on the inside. The outer design has plenty of extra durability with protective rubber coatings on high-abrasion areas, the Helios is ready for battle!
The BOA Focus system is the quickest, smoothest and easiest way to tighten up your boots providing even closure with no pressure points. This BOA Focus system uses 2 BOA Coilers over the tongue and side of the boot. The side BOA Coiler provides closure on your ankle to lock down the heel stopping the dreaded heel lift that can occur while riding. This allows a customised fit which can be micro tuned to the rider's preferences for ultimate comfort and support.
The Silver-level liner is packed with amazing tech that provides superior comfort and performance while being extremely warm and light. Built with a combination of standard and thermo foam, the liner will mould to the shape of your foot for a customised fit. This liner uses Ripper Lacing, a Z-lace configuration for a perfect fit and improved heel hold that's built into the liner instead of using a harness. The list goes on and is further explained in the Features Included section!
The Helios uses the B.F.T (Bare Foot Technology) Vibram Ascent Outsole. This piece of tech is extremely lightweight with incredible traction and grip in all conditions. An EVA midsole and an N-Gel pad is placed in the heel to provide the best comfort and support, conforming to your movements, dampening heavy impacts and chatter in rough conditions. This will give you the best connection to your board enabling you to ride harder for longer comfortably.
To improve all day comfort, Nidecker have designed the boot to feature industry leading asymmetric boa lacing, guiding the laces over the flatter areas of your foot for significantly reduced pressure and improved closure. This improves arch support and reduces fatigue for maximum performance on the mountain.
The Helios APX snowboard boot is one of the most versatile boots on the market, it's packed with great tech for great comfort while providing the best performance needed for all mountain pursuits. With next level comfort and support with superior thermal insulation and a Dual BOA system for ease of use, this is certainly the boot of choice to shred the mountain at speed.
