Can You Have Faith in A Ski Company To Make a Snowboard Boot?

Salomon, formally Salomon Group, is an outdoor sports corp that has been making equipment for decades. They are an innovative company and were the first to present twin tipped skis to a ski market eager for variation. Snowboard companies have been rising up ever since the winter sport took off commercially, but not every ski company has had successful forays into the snowboarding world. Where exactly these companies have botched is tough to say but the snowboarding demographic has remained elusive to most of them. Salomon, however, embraced the world of snowboarding and have a complete line of snowboarding equipment available. But does their equipment actually meet the quality standards when placed next to top snowboard makers?

Ask any rider what the most important piece of gear is and they’ll probably reply it’s the snowboard boots. Why is it more important than the board and bindings? Mostly because riding a second rate board won’t have a huge impact on your performance. Low end bindings might make it hard to lock your carves in but also won’t ruin your day. But a junky pair of boots will possibly send you to the bar out of aggravation. In fact, a lousy boot is the quickest way to turn a groovy snowboarding outing into a nightmare. If you’re ever going to overindulge on a piece of snowboarding gear, it should be the boot.

So would I recommend throwing down on a set of Salomon snowboard boots? Salomon has definitely jumped head first into the snowboarding world. You aren’t left with the sense that this ski company is selling out and just trying to make a quick buck in the snowboard market. They actually seem to have put the work into building these snowboard boots, in spite of of the style you buy. Salomon snowboard boots come in a full line for men and women. While the boots may not be faultless, they are undoubtedly a match for any other snowboard company out there.

One of their most prevalent is the F20 Salomon snowboard boot, which is basically their most inexpensive boot. This boot has a nice low profile for increased ankle flex and is lightweight. It is essentially a soft park boot, and it works well here as it doesn’t feel like you’re sporting a big heavy snowboard boot. The craftsmanship appears to be fairly good with their boots as well. Meant for all around riding, the boot is styled modestly but packs all the technology you might get from any other company. The only genuine complaint about their boots is the lacing system. Laces have become archaic and every company is seeking for an alternative. BOA lacing systems really make it as an alternative to laces, but some, like Burton’s Fast Lace and Salomon’s PowerPro laces, just don’t have the same great feel.

Still, Salomon is not taking their attitude to snowboarding flippantly. Rather than succumb to the pigeonhole that ski companies can’t make a decent snowboard product, they are giving it everything they’ve got. Salomon’s boots substantiate that a ski corporation actually can go toe to toe with almost any snowboard company.
