FEATURES
The K2 Holgate is a rugged, stiff-flexing snowboard boot built to push boundaries and is stacked with premium technology. It all starts with construction; the Holgate is outfitted with a reinforced rubber toe that is abrasion resistant and helps give that extra little bit of grip to the binding toe strap. The heel counter was engineered using our Endo™ 2.0 construction, a urethane heel counter that allows us to change the flex and rebound of the boot without adding extra materials. This extends the boot's lifespan and adds a layer of protection to guard against binding abrasion. The Holgate’s lacing system comprises of two BOA® Fit System reels. The exterior H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System reel helps to provide a stable and secure closure throughout the boot. The BOA® reel located on the lateral side of the shell controls our Conda™ liner lace system, giving you maximum control over the fit of your boot while keeping your heel locked to the bottom of the footbed for power transfer when you need it most. Wrapping the foot, we've placed our most supportive liner, composed of multiple densities of heat-moldable Intuition® foam. This open-cell foam means that it can be re-molded time and time again to achieve the perfect fit throughout the boot's life. The liner is outfitted with our breathable and heat reflecting Spaceheater™ material, keeping riders warm and dry all day long. And lastly, we've integrated a 95% post-consumer recycled coffee mesh from SCafe™ into the liner to help eliminate unwanted odor after a long day on the hill. Underfoot, the midsole combines a lightweight and stable EVA and Harshmellow™, a proprietary technology that helps absorb impact, increasess damping, and provide a more "quiet" feel while snowboarding. The outsole on the Thraxis snowboard boot is our ALL-NEW Vibram® V5 outsole, providing unmatched traction in the boot pack and is made using at least 30% recycled rubber through the Vibram® Ecostep program.

TECHNOLOGY
LACING:
H4 BOA Coiler
Impact-resistant, durable, and performance-driven, the H4 BOA® Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot.
TX3 BOA Lacing
BOA®’s first textile lace in the snowboarding category, TX3 is constructed from recycled PET with a structural core. This lace provices a softer, more flexible look similar to the characteristics of a traditional lace but the superior closure of a BOA® system.
BOA Conda
A patented K2 liner lacing system that uses a urethane harness to gently hug your ankle, creating unrivaled heel hold. BOA® Conda™ allows for adjusting liner tightness and heel hold on the fly from outside of the boot, even with gloves on.
LINER:
Intuition Pro Foam 3D
Our most supportive liner, featuring a high-density Intuition® foam for added support without sacrificing comfort. This liner features both internal and external J-Bars around the ankles, where extra support is needed.
Intuition SpaceHeater
A liner designed for comfort and warmth, from start to finish. It features reflective heat blanket panels that work to trap heat in and keep cold out. These reflective heat blankets work alongside heat moldable Intuition® foam, internal J-Bars, and 3D molded dual-density EVA insoles to keep your foot comfortable and warm all day long.
ARTICULATING CUFF:
Articulation around the flex point of the boots to shell distortion, retain shape, and eliminate heel lift.
RUBBER REINFORCED:
Abrasion resistant reinforced outsole rubber is placed in areas of high stress to extend the life of the boot and increase durability.
OUTSOLE:
Vibram V5
Vibram® V5 Outsole features a full EcoStep rubber (30% regrind) with and Harshmellow™ pods under the toe and heel to reduce noise underfoot. The V5 Outsole is the perfect combination of sustainability and performance.
FOOTBED:
Harshmellow Insole
Harshmellow™ is a magical dampening system that replaces industry standard foam dampening materials. Harshmellow™ is strategically placed to dampen vibration underfoot to provide for a more “quiet” feel underfoot, reduce vibration from impact, and reduce fatigue while snowboarding.
