My Review of K2 UFO Double Boa Snowboard Boots - 2011/2012

Originally submitted at REI

UFO Double Boa snowboard boots are the most durable and solid flexing boots in the K2 lineup. This boot sits on the stiff end of the spectrum for riders looking for smooth-flexing support.


Loose in toe area & bad stitching

Pros: Adjustability, Easy Lacing System

Cons: Poor Construction

Best Uses: Powder, Freeriding, Tricks, Park

Describe Yourself: Advanced

Was this a gift?: No

After half a dozen days of riding I noticed the outer stitching was already falling about. I also couldn't get that tight responsive feeling in the toe area. K2 might need to make a boa system with three boa adjustable settings. One for the inner liner, one for the upper boot, and one for the lower boot.
