Sun & Ski Sports - The Gear. The Advice. The Price.

The Hail™ is the logical choice for those pulling 100+ days a year, scrubbing toilets at night, just to shred all day. Built to let you lap the park ‘til your legs fall off, the Hail is crazy comfortable and crammed with cushioning like the NEW Stay-Puft Calf Capsule and massive NEW 270° Airbag. Slimmer, lighter, and built for tweakin’, there’s no better choice for those who have their priorities straight.

• Aegis™ Antimicrobial Coating - This antimicrobial coating inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Your feet [and your friends] will thank us for sure. Look for Aegis™ on select liners and footbeds.
• Shrinkage Footprint Reduction Technology - Shrinkage™ reduces the boot’s overall footprint one full size, meaning a size 10 boot fits like a size 10, but has the footprint of a typical size 9. Shorter, lighter, and less bulky, with Shrinkage you can finally ride the board of your dreams.
• Articulating Cuff - Our articulating cuff creates fluid forward motion by allowing the upper and lower zones of the boot to flex independently, thus minimizing shell distortion and maximizing heel hold and response.
• Flex Spine Backstay - Our Flex Spine backstay is designed to flex more easily both laterally and medially for maximum mobility while providing ample edge-to-edge support for when it’s time to throw down the landing gear.
• Medium Flex Thin Profile 3D® Molded Tongue - Adjusting the profile of the tongue’s thickness controls its flex, enhances its ability to wrap the forefoot, and reduces shell/liner stack-up for improved comfort. Offered in soft, medium, and firm flexing options based on the ride style of each boot.
• New Stay Puft Calf Capsule - Go ahead, crank that suitcase method. Adding an airbag to the upper portion of the Hail™ and Sapphire’s Flex Spine™ backstay cushions your calf as it interacts with the hi-back.
• 2:1 Power Lacing System - A more powerful 2:1 ratio gives you more pulling power with less effort, making it easy to dial in your exact fit.
• 270º Airbag Cushioning - With more air comes more cushioning and less weight. NEW 270° Cushioning features a 50% larger airbag than 2009 and covers approximately 75% of the midsole for unstoppable impact protection.
• Flex™ 2 - NEW Flex Cuff Heel Hold System / TaiPanel™ Technology / Velcro Liner Closure / NEW Park 2 Molded 3-Layer EVA Footbed with ESS Support Shank and Aegis™ Antimicrobial Coating / Heat-Moldable
• Support: 4 - Every boot we build rides differently. From the buttery-soft, progressive flex of the Hail™, to the lightning-fast response of the Driver X™, we fine tune the ride of every single boot to provide the widest range of performance in snowboarding. We determine a boot’s support rating based primarily on the flex characteristics of the shell, outsole, and liner materials. Additional features like articulating cuffs, strategically placed shell paneling, 3D® molded tongues, and backstay constructions allow us to adjust the overall support. Based only as a comparison between the boots within our line, a rating of one is more relaxed while ten is more responsive.
