Over the past decade I’ve been using the Boots for on 90% of my backcountry missions with well over 1000 days of tedious climbing and doing everything I can to break down the boots to on avail. I’ve had numerous people ask me if they are worth purchasing and I always say yes and so I thought I would put up a Fitwell backcountry snowboard boots review from my experience.

Burton Driver X Boots
Snowboard mountaineers have to make a choice between two major types
The Driver X is the perfect compromise between a stiff mountaineering boot (yes, it works great with crampons), and the cozy goodness of those boots you take resort riding. It’s a stiff, yet comfortable, softshell boot that rips it up in the pow and also lets you keep your footing on a steep face.
