Completely Redesigned & A First of It's Kind.
It started with an idea. Our snowboard boot scientists approached K2 Snowboarding Team Rider Sage Kotsenburg with a new concept on snowboard boot construction - and the switch flipped, it was on. A first-of-it’s-kind construction comes from a one-piece rubber lower with integrated mesh. To boil it down, this means that the Orton will not only be waterproof, but also warm and dry, all day long. The one-piece-rubber lower is married with a dual-zone BOA® lacing system, making this a versatile boot, fitting feet of all shapes and sizes.
In the development of this boot, Sage spent over 100 days in this product, getting it 100% right. Atop of that, the Orton was tested by our staff, our team of athletes, backcountry guides, and our film crew. Thousands and thousands of hours went into setting a new standard with the Orton. Sage knows that the devil is in the details…and he’s detailed. For the best performance in the bootpack, we chose our V5 Vibram® rubber outside. For ultimate damping and vibration absorption, we chose our Marshmallow™ injected midsole and Marshmallow™ Pro insole. For the best possible fit, we chose our performance liner-lasting and a heat moldable tri-density Intuition® liner. To top it all off, a rip-stop asym lace-cover with a gaiter hook keeps all the snow out.
BEST FOR:
Freeride, Freestyle, and Powder.
Technology:
- H4/M3 COILER ZONAL BOA® FIT SYSTEM: Impact resistant, durable, and performance-driven, the H4 BOA® Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot. The H4 dial controls the upper shell lacing, and the M3 dial controls the lower shell lacing.
- TX3 BOA® LACING: A softer lace explicitly made for snowboard boots that provides a more even fit over the body of the boot shell versus a steel lace.
- FLEX ZONE UPPER WITH RUBBER LOWER: Minimal seams, minimal parts, and durable as hell. A snowboarding-first, the all new one-piece rubber lower found in the Orton was designed and developed to meet the demands of Sage Kotsenburg.
- INTUITION® PRO FOAM 3D LINER WITH SPACEHEATER™: Our most supportive liner, featuring a high-density Intuition® foam for added support and lined with breathable heat-reflective SpaceHeater™ technology for superior warmth and comfort.
- 3-POINT HARNESS LINER LACING: A traditional liner harness with a pull lace and three contact points hugs the ankle to provide additional support and unrivaled stability to help reduce fatigue.
- VIBRAM® V5 RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH HARSHMELLOW™: Vibram® V5 Outsole features a full EcoStep rubber (30% regrind) with and Harshmallow™ pods under the toe and heel to reduce noise underfoot. The V5 Outsole is the perfect combination of sustainability and performance.
- S'CAFE™ COFFEE MESH: A post-consumer recycled coffee ground mesh liner layer that controls odor and absorbs moisture.
