Key Equipment Disruptive Splitboard Hardboot

Great boots

Out of the box I found them pretty comfortable. Light and great flexibility. Bindings cradle them very nicely. I have heard other question logic of the Velcro, suggesting that it introduces the paradox of the choice, but I am fond of the ability to customize the fit. I was considering these a the atomic badlands and am very glad I went for these.

Finally a hard boot that feels like a soft boot

Best thing out there for splitboarders so far. Could use a few small improvements to buckling system but nothing major

Good out of the box splitboard hardboot performance

Out of the many different hardboots i've tried for splitboarding the Disruptive was the most comfortable out of the box "no tinkering required" boot. Probably the best option for a first time hardbooter. The forward lean can be adjusted a few degrees on the fly which is very convenient to get a less aggressive highback angle for the inevitable "scooch" out on the approach. Compared to the competitors they are slightly bulkier and a little less forward ROM while touring. Also a bit wider in the forefoot/toebox.
