Boa technology is the awesome new setup that removes the only thing that sucks about snowboard boots: the laces.
The Boa system is laced cables of aircraft grade steel (no it doesn't add weight) that take the place of laces in keeping your boots tight. To tighten you simply push in the Boa housing button (to lock it in place), righty tighty turn the dial until you get the snug fit you desire. To remove the boot, you just pop (pull) the housing button and stretch out the tongue.
If it comes into your head how much nice this is at the top of the lifts on a cold day when you need to tighten up the boots, you are right on. We always recommend Boa boots. Competition level riders still require laces because they need to have the boot so tight it cuts off circulation, for the rest of the world the Boa system is the way to go.
If taking even 10-20 seconds to turn tight your boots is still too much of an inconvenience go ahead and add the Boa speed wheel to your order, a totally cool totally unnecessary add-on.

Spice snowboard boots are an outstanding value without sacrificing comfort or performance.

Specifically engineered for precision women's fit and performance needs, Spice boots have exceptional flex, feel and instantaneous response whether ridden by a first timer or a professional.

What, you've never heard of Snowjam (Zuma/Spice/Freesport/Maxx) before? What planet are you from?
Ok, they aren't that popular yet, but Snowjam is on its way to becoming a truly respected force in the snowboard world.

We have taken a close look at the quality and performance of all the Snowjam gear, and have been very surprised. For such inexpensive gear, one would expect construction flaws and breakage issues left and right. However, the Snowjam boards, boots, and bindings have been holding up just as good as the most expensive brands out there. In fact, The Snowjam bindings we sell haven't had any breakage issues whereas some name brand bindings (that we no longer sell) have close to a 50% failure rate. In other words, the Snowjam bindings are more durable and reliable than some mainstream brands.
As for the boards, we cut up a very popular board to figure out why everyone needed this brand. As we suspected, there wasn't anything different in the construction process or materials that would make this brand 5 times more expensive than Snowjam boards.
There is a similar pattern with the boots. Many of the Snowjam boots have the same lacing system that top end boots now feature, the Boa Lacing System, but at a fraction of the price.

That being said, we are still trying to figure out why people are spending $800 or more for a snowboard setup when a quality Snowjam setup starts around $175, including board, boots, and bindings. Save the extra dough and buy your whole family a new setup, or splurge for the Season Pass at your local resort that you have been dreaming about.
