The 2025 HO Hardshell Boot & Binding System is a top choice for many in the industry. This year, we have enhanced this popular model with significant improvements. Our new Pro Plate, now made of aluminum, has elongated screw slots for increased adjustability. Additionally, the Liner has been improved to provide better performance, feedback, and connection to the ski. This Hardshell system creates maximum reliability, performance, and adjustability. The release mechanism employs an adjustable spring loaded heel unit that allows for tension release point modification in relation to skier weight and preference. Unique to the industry is our Full Contact Outsole. This contoured heel and toe zone enables full contact between boot and plate thereby stabilizing the connection by reducing lateral slippage and increasing agility. The light weight yet reliable snow ski inspired boot buckles allow for personalized tightening. Use the buckle ladder to tighten or spin the buckle for a more customized fit. The Memory Buckle allows you to get a consistent tightness on the upper cuff every time you ski. We’ve added surface area and 50% more thickness to the Protective Coated Stainless Steel Toe Hoop, adding even more reliability to the system. We’ve updated the Heel Release Mechanism with a Stainless Steel finish, making it longer lasting even in salt or brackish water. In addition, the new Stainless Steel Release Arms are more vertically angled to better keep the heel solidly connected to the plate. This also provides more room for the backfoot, for those who prefer a narrower stance or those with a taller back boot. Syndicate Hardshell is offered as a FRONT BOOT only.
