The BOA Performance Fit Lab, established in 2018 to scientifically prove BOA’s performance advantage in multiple sports, conducted a dedicatedAlpine Ski studypublished in Frontier in Sports. The study outlined that the BOA Fit System improved pressure distribution, seeing a 13% reduction in peak pressure on the top of the foot whilst still delivering a precise uniform fit. It also saw an improved responsiveness and power transfer during turns. There was up to 6% increase in peak forces underneath the foot and 10% improvement in the rate of force production at turn initiation.

The Rivet Guides then position the attachment point in a similar way to buckles. Low Friction Guides settle the lace tension to create a uniform wrap and adapt to every individual foot shape.

Expert user insight from former World Champion and double Olympic Gold medalist Benjamin Raich was incorporated and used to optimise the system at every step of the journey. Raich noted “As a racer, you are always intensely focused on finding every performance advantage. The BOA alpine project has been an incredible opportunity to leverage this experience and work closely with their team to improve boot fit and skiing performance for the next generation of athletes.”
“The BOA Alpine project was the biggest and boldest initiative since 2001 when Gary Hammerslag had the vision and tenacity to create a solution for Snowboard Boots, which delivered a material improvement in fit and user experience.” shares Shawn Neville, CEO of BOA Technology.
“Two decades later, with 259 Registered Patents and over 200 million sold systems, BOA remains deeply committed to pushing the limits of human performance through its scientifically proven solutions and partnership with the leading brands across snowsports, cycling, athletic, outdoor, workwear and medical bracing, to make their best gear even better.”
