Ion Black
Burton's Ion flagship model is for experienced all-mountain freeriders. The Ion are well-known and recognised for legendary performances and gusto. They're versatile boots that will never let you down on any slope.
The freeride, all-mountain Ion Boa boots' stiff flex (8/10) react instantly which is ideal for focused, accuracy out on backcountry tracks. The intermediate, thin EST® optimised insole not only thins down the insole to noticeably gain weight but also improves how the board feels and lowers your centre of gravity.
In addition, the feather-weight Life liner with Total Comfort design is extremely comfortable from the very first day on the slopes. And because comfort is also about warmth, the Ion Boa has Sleeping Bag thermal insulation and DRYRIDE Heat Cycle™ so you can ride feeling warm and dry. Handy when you need to walk through the snow to get to the starting point you'd planned!
With all these features, all we can say is that the Ion Boa® really made its mark in the world of snowboarding!
Flex : 8/10, aggressive flex The dual density, durable firm 1:1 Power Up tongue is great for rebound and adapts according to boot flexibility.
Level : advanced to expert
Ease-of-fitting: +++
Liner:
Life liner: feather weight liner which adapts to foot shape for a relaxed feel. The reactive PU tongue is durable and even quicker to respond.
DRYRIDE™ Heat Cycle™: carbon fibre lining which is thermally activated to better capture body heat.
Ultralon Performance Foam
Tuff Cuff : as used by professionals, keeps ankle and heel in place and inner liner stable. Flexibility across the length of the feet.
- Cushioning:
AutoCANT cushioning: the dual-density EVA allows the feet to rest in their natural position for relaxed riding and ultimate comfort. Reduces tiredness. Board control is direct and flexible.
ReBounce Cushioning: this is in the shell of the boot, close to your foot, and provides an extra layer of impact protection. The thermal insulation also traps heat. Consistent performance in cold temperatures.
Cushion Technology isothermal Sleeping Bag: light, fine layer which reflects the warmth of the foot.
Lacing:
Speed Zone® System: quick lacing control, customising the fit of the upper and lower zones of the shoe. Tight fit for maximised rebound. Works with New England laces. These are Burton exclusives and are guaranteed for life.
Comfort:
Total Comfort Construction: Best possible feel from the very first use. The Total Comfort design leaves out the process of molding the foot to the liner, favouring instead a liner that adapts to your body directly.
Outer shell pressure relief panel: extra soft cushioning around the heel strap to evenly distribute pressure caused by tight bindings.
Snowproof internal gusset: the lower zone of the boot is completely sealed off from the snow, keeping feet warm and dry all day.
Insole: EVA molded level 2 insole for lightweight and long-lasting shock absorption.
Outsole:
EST® optimised midsole: outsole developed to adapt better to the EST bindings so that connection and information transfer is even quicker. Not only does the midsole reduce the overall weight of the shoe, but also shifts your centre of gravity and enhances the feel.
Shrinkage™ technology: reduces the overall outer-sole by one size. A size 10 will wear a size 10 but with a size 9 outer-sole profile. A shorter, lighter weight.
Sizing tip: We recommend that you order a size up from your usual size.
The Burton Ions haven't aged a day though! The two big new additions, theLife liner and the thin EST ®midsole, take the standards of the high-end, high-performance boot to the nextlevel. Going deeper into its comfort, theLife liner puts the foot into the most naturally comfortable position in the shoe. The board feel is even better thanks to the thin. TheIon and bindings work together perfectly. Lightweightfor walking, Ions provide significant weight saving especially when riding slightly heavier freeride boards and bindings.
Advantages: style, performance and lightness
Disadvantages: Frankly, we can't see any!
