Inspired by the technical demands of polar and mountain expeditions, the Kita is crammed with features to deliver reliable performance from first lift til’ last. Comfort is key, starting with a premium Gold Wrap Liner and an asymmetrical shape that perfectly matches our bindings for a natural connection to your board. Dual-Dial BOA® laces, a unique seamless build and Armor-Tech toe protection complete a heavy-hitting model that slays every terrain. And as Eric Jackson's boot of choice, the Kita is available in a signature Ejack colorway – its camo pattern is taken from one of the burnt trees on his favorite pow line.

LACING: Dual-Dial BOA/External Heel Lock - The lower part of the boot is tightened via a side dial, while the tongue dial controls the upper section and our unique External Heel-Lock. External Heel Lock works in tandem with the BOA® dial on the tongue, tightening built-in wings on either side of the ankle to eliminate heel lift.
LINER: Gold Level - The Gold liner's asymmetrical construction wraps over the foot seamlessly to eliminate pressure points and improve flex control. There's useful wriggle room around the toes thanks to a Custom Flex Zone, while 8mm of PE foam and additional PU support on the outside provide extra stiffness. Heat-molding tech delivers a perfect fit in minutes.
FOOTBED: 3D Triple Density - Our most advanced 3D insole is designed to perfectly cradle your foot. It's constructed from three densities of EVA, with firmer material supporting the heel cup and arch and a special high-rebound layer at the heel. A fleece-lined footbed with silicone top-print keeps you warm and secure.
OUTSOLE: Vibram Approach - Our top-of-the-line outsole boasts a full EVA midsole for supreme comfort under the whole foot and an OC-Kush insert for extra dampening beneath the heel. The Vibram ICE-TREK tread is made from a rubber compound especially developed for cold and snowy surfaces and provides unrivalled grip.
EXTRAS
H4 Coiler - Ready for anything, designed to withstand. The bombproof BOA® H4 Coiler is built for the most demanding riders and resists impacts from park to pow. Its efficient mechanism rapidly takes up lace slack, increasing speed of entry.
Shell Harness - Pull the inner laces to tighten a shell-mounted harness. Velcro secures the tongue.
ArmorTech - This bombproof TPU strip wraps around the front of the boot to shield it from abrasion and protect your toes when you're kicking in steps. It also prevents the boot from packing out too much, prolonging its life.
Exo-Spine - An external backstay that supports the whole boot and transfers energy instantly from heel to toe. It connects seamlessly to the outsole via our Transition Zone, so you won't hook up on the binding's heelcup when you enter or exit your binding.
Space Blanket - A thermal insulation barrier between the outsole and the bottom of the liner keeps the warmth inside and the cold outside.
3D Molded Tongue - Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is curved more sharply towards the medial side to match the natural ridgeline of your forefoot. This alleviates pressure points and provides a more balanced feeling of comfort and support versus a standard straight tongue.
3D Molded Toe Box - Our 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.
ASYM 3F - A unique asymmetric boot design co-developed with BOA® that generates optimal support and flex. The asym tongue features lace guides positioned on the flatter forefoot areas for more even closure and less point-loaded pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramps.
OC-KUSH - Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps you soak up heavy landings and reduces fatigue from bumpy snow. It also makes your boots super comfy to walk around in.
