I've got some mixed feelings about these. At first, everything seemed great, but as I started using 'em more, some problems came up. My Photon Step On boots got soft too fast, like they wore out in just seven days. That made it tough to handle steep slopes and trees 'cause they didn't give enough support. Another problem was the... Read more

Sarah Caldwell tested this product
I demoed the Mens Step On Photon boots and they exceeded my expectations. I’m a womens size 9.5, so I tried these in size 8. Right off the bat, I wasn’t sure I’d get my foot in the boots because of how snug they were but once I got them in, it held my foot in all the... Read more
Ideal for
  • Heel hold in this boot was next level: responsive, supportive and locked in.
  • These felt comfortable right out of the box.
  • Riders looking for a premium set of BOA boots with the ease of Step On quick entry.
Not ideal for
  • Hard to find a con for this set of boots although I did have to initially push to get them on.

Same size much smaller

I was replacing a previous Mission XL that fit perfectly. I ordered this new Mission XL and it is smaller and fits very snug. I cannot wear it.

This helmet is so comfortable it feels like an extension of my body. The fit is customizable to your preferences, it has the prefect amount of ventilation when you need to cool down but also keeps your head warm and snuggled. I have worn it with a balaclava and had no issues with the fit. It's like a dream! Perfectly integrates with the aleck speakers and smith 4d mag goggles which are a must have as well!

He help me find what gear was right for me and matched the price of all my gear. This has definitely been the best customer experience I have ever received. Bro gave a great deal on some sick gear. I really excited to try my new gear and I am very happy with the whole experience. Give this man a raise.

I knew I wanted skiing gear for the season, but didn’t know anything about the ski gear. Leo walked me through some great options and explained the differences. I really appreciate that he found sales items. On an aesthetic level he made sure things looked like they went together instead of just a random assortment of colors.

Leif was very patient with my picky nature for choosing my first board. He kept sending me really great options! His feedback for the boards were really insightful and the picks for my boots and bindings were perfect! This was a really fun and unique experience. Highly recommend to my friends that I’ll be riding with!

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights.

5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.
