Salomon: Kid's Talapus Snowboard Boots

In the early morning resort condo chaos, it seems like everyone in the family is focused on getting out the door, although younger riders sometimes have the toughest time with their gear. That's why we like the simplified fit features on this well-made Kid's Talapus Boot from Salomon. It features a glove-friendly Speed Powerlace system that any kid can adjust--and that's important when you consider that few on-slope snowboard instructors really take the time to check out anything other than boards and bindings. Salomon's one-tug Speed Powerlace remains of the fastest and easiest snowboard boot closure systems on the market, and the mono-tongue construction on the Talapus simplifies the fit. The Talapus has a flex rating of 4, which makes it one of the more free-flexing boots made by Salomon and ideal for freestyle riding. This greater flex also gives younger and smaller riders more options than stiffer boots that won't yield as much. The Talapus also features a cushioned, eco-friendly bamboo footbed for extra riding comfort throughout the day. Beneath everything is Salomon's Easy Outsole for excellent traction without a lot of excess boot weight. If you're focused on keeping the entire family on the slopes for the duration of the day, Salomon's Talapus keeps it simple with few hassles and adjustments.
