Born for the backcountry and then some, the Vans Hi-Country & Hell-Bound Snowboard Boots put all the features you need at your toe-tips. With an adjustable flex ranging from 5 to 8 (Van’s Flex Control System allows you to insert or remove tongue stiffeners), a bomber lace system with Powercuff Strap, and moisture management courtesy of a V3 UltraCush FlashDry™ liner with waterproof breathable valves so you can really work it getting to your line, this boot not only rips on the way down but makes it all that much more pleasant to get up there.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – 5 – 8 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)
Instep Flex Zone – The Instep Flex Zone functions to maintain natural ankle flexion in your boot, whether in or out of your bindings.
Vans Flex Control System – Removable high-rebound Hytrel® tongue stiffeners allow riders to custom-tune their flex. Slide them both in for maximum support, use just one to provide either increased lateral or medial response or leave them out for a softer-flexing boot. As boots soften up over the course of a season, you can add the tongue stiffeners back in to extend the life of your boots.
Fit
Powercuff Strap – Providing extra support at the top of the boot for increased stability and response. Its configuration gives riders customizable levels of engagement and the option of wrapping the strap around the internal liner or the exterior tongue.
Liner

Lacing System
Traditional with Powercuff Strap – Power is the operative word with the PowerCuff Strap. It provides extra support at the top of the boot for increased stability and response. Its configuration gives the Standard XF a customizable level of engagement.

Sole
V3 Superenduro Waffle Outsole with All-Trac™ Rubber – 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.
