Completely Redesigned & A First of It's Kind.
It started with an idea. Our snowboard boot scientists approached K2 Snowboarding Team Rider Sage Kotsenburg with a new concept on snowboard boot construction - and the switch flipped, it was on. A first-of-it¡¯s-kind construction comes from a one-piece rubber lower with integrated mesh. To boil it down, this means that the Orton will not only be waterproof, but also warm and dry, all day long. The one-piece-rubber lower is married with a dual-zone BOA lacing system, making this a versatile boot, fitting feet of all shapes and sizes.
In the development of this boot, Sage spent over 100 days in this product, getting it 100% right. Atop of that, the Orton was tested by our staff, our team of athletes, backcountry guides, and our film crew. Thousands and thousands of hours went into setting a new standard with the Orton. Sage knows that the devil is in the details¡and he¡¯s detailed. For the best performance in the bootpack, we chose our V5 Vibram rubber outside. For ultimate damping and vibration absorption, we chose our Marshmallow injected midsole and Marshmallow Pro insole. For the best possible fit, we chose our performance liner-lasting and a heat moldable tri-density Intuition liner. To top it all off, a rip-stop asym lace-cover with a gaiter hook keeps all the snow out.
BEST FOR:
Freeride, Freestyle, and Powder.
Technology:
- H4/M3 COILER ZONAL BOA FIT SYSTEM: Impact resistant, durable, and performance-driven, the H4 BOA Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot. The H4 dial controls the upper shell lacing, and the M3 dial controls the lower shell lacing.
- TX3 BOA LACING: A softer lace explicitly made for snowboard boots that provides a more even fit over the body of the boot shell versus a steel lace.
- FLEX ZONE UPPER WITH RUBBER LOWER: Minimal seams, minimal parts, and durable as hell. A snowboarding-first, the all new one-piece rubber lower found in the Orton was designed and developed to meet the demands of Sage Kotsenburg.
- INTUITION PRO FOAM 3D LINER WITH SPACEHEATER: Our most supportive liner, featuring a high-density Intuition foam for added support andlined with breathable heat-reflective SpaceHeater technology for superior warmth and comfort.
- 3-POINT HARNESS LINER LACING: A traditional liner harness with a pull lace and three contact points hugs the ankle to provide additional support and unrivaled stability to help reduce fatigue.
- VIBRAM V5 RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH HARSHMELLOW: Vibram V5 Outsole features a full EcoStep rubber (30% regrind) with and Harshmallow pods under the toe and heel to reduce noise underfoot. The V5 Outsole is the perfect combination of sustainability and performance.
- S'CAFE COFFEE MESH: A post-consumer recycled coffee ground mesh liner layer that controls odor and absorbs moisture.
