ThirtyTwo made The Vela Women's Snowboard Boot for aggressive female riders who demand a stiffer high-performance boot. This boot is for girls who ride fast and carve hard. Featuring System G2 soles, The Vela absorbs peak impacts and won't bottom out or pack out over time, so you can ride safer for longer. The Tongue Tension Strap System with “C” Clip provides secure top-of-cuff tightening for enhanced support. An inner ankle harness along with ThirtyTwo's high-end Level 4 women's liner provides additional support, insulation, and comfort. A high-frequency welded TPU backstay increases durability and binding grip at the high-wear area along the back spine of the boot. Bottom Line: This aggressive mid-stiff boot is an all-mountain dominatrix.
