Tomas. Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 So I am at the sled show in Alberta and looking at these boots. The boa lace system is $40 more than standard laces. Are they a gimmick or worth the money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 i liked the boa when i had it easier than laces to get the boot tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks. They are 262 cad tax in. Regular 459 plus %5. Think I am going to give them a try. Apparently they have a 7 year warranty Edited October 13, 2018 by Tomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have all klim stuff jacket, bibs and boots. All have performed flawlessly and above expectation. Fuck the boots I have were Half price because they had a little Yamaha tuning fork on the lounge. I wear regular socks in them and my feet have never been cold. In fact I don't wear anything more than a base layer under my jacket and bibs or I get too hot. Great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterman Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have those exact boots. They are great and the boa makes them the easiest on off boot I’ve ever owned. I click the boa and kick the boot of with the other foot. Laces suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
