One of the most overlooked performing enhancing features on ski boots are the power straps. Most boots these days come standard with a Velcro closure strap that provides additional support to the upper cuff potion of the boot. The issue with these types of Velcro straps is that the Velcro material break down over time and does not stay secure enough to provide the support, leverage and over-all adjustability needed for high-end skiers and racers who are looking for performance enhancing equipment edges. This is where the folks at booster Straps come in. The Expert/Racer is a stiffer elastic boot strap that glues your leg to your boot when it is cinched tight. This increases the responsive feel of your ski and ski boot for better control through the turns. Worn by Olympians, professional skiers, racers and expert skiers alike, the Booster Strap eliminates shin bang and keeps your shins glued to the front of your boots, no matter what your body position. These are super handy for aggressive, recreational skiing in variable conditions when the most important thing driving your skis is staying forward in your boots with all of your pressure hitting the tongues. When the air space between your body and your gear gets eliminated, you get better shock absorbing power, resulting in a more comfortable ride down the hill. This type of booster strap is recommended for aggressive skiers weighting over 140 pounds. Each pair comes with stiff elastic and cam buckles that allow personal for on-the-fly micro-adjustments in seconds. If you are looking for a competitive edge and want to maximize the technology of your boots and your technique, look no further than the Expert/Racer Booster Strap.
