The Hi-Country & Hell-Bound is an incredibly versatile boot and will help you take your skill level to the next level. Whether you're in the urban terrain or the backcountry. The boot comes with the best features like the V3 PopCush™ footbed, which offers maximum cushioning, and the Vans Flex Control System, which allows you to set your preferred flex.

Outer boot
The Flex Control System allows you to adjust the stiffness of the tongue to your exact preferences. Two rods made of High-Rebound Hytrel® material can be inserted on the inside of the tongue for this purpose. The V3 UltimateWaffle outsole combines Vans' best technology with the most versatility. Perfect for challenging landings to side climbing steep passages in the backcountry.

Liner
The V3 UltraCush with TNF FlashDry Liner is a heat moldable liner and features an UltraCush inner layer for premium cushioning. The North Face's FlashDry material keeps your feet dry and the reworked X-Cage design provides excellent heel support. The V3 PopCush footbed comes with a top layer of OrthoLite® foam and an improved, 3D-molded, anatomical shape. The Nylex top layer with Airflow perforations ensures a comfortable climate in the boot.

Lacing system
The traditional lacing system is and remains simply one of the best and most reliable lacings on snowboard boots. Many riders continue to trust the classic lacing and appreciate the easy swap-out when the lacing breaks.
