Der Tourist ist ein perfekter Touren-Softboot
Vielen Dank für die rasche Lieferung des Burton Tourist. Hab ihn letztes Wochenende gleich mal am Dachstein eingefahren. Hab mich darin sofort super wohlgefühlt, seit langem wieder mal ein genialer Softboot der alles mitmacht. Den hätte ich mir als Driver schon früher kaufen sollen. Kein Vergleich zum Spark von Deeluxe, den ich vorher hatte. Dieser war zum Abfahren zu weich und von der Verarbeitung her nach 4 Jahren total verschlissen.
Der Tourist ist leicht, bequem und von der Steifigkeit her top. Gut, den Innenschuh bekommt man nicht so einfach rein und raus, aber das ist auch nicht unbedingt notwendig. Dafür liegt dieser mit dem Klettverschluß super an. Der Außenschuh ist von den Maßen her schmal gehalten, ein typischer Burton eben. Preis/Leistung geht voll in Ordnung.
Splitboard Boots:
If you start with splitboarding, you are just about to make a big purchase. Therefore and because of the usually good fit, the existing soft boots should simply be taken further. The purchase of new soft boots will come automatically in the near future. I have been following the soft-boots sector for many years now and talk to many participants every season - it is simply very complex and has already created many unnecessary products.
That's why we haven't had any soft boots in our program for the last 2 years, because there simply wasn't one we really liked. Especially the "special" Splitboards Boots, crampon proof - did not appeal to us personally. In general I have the feeling that some splitboarder / snowboarder is looking for a softboot stiffness that only exists in hardboots - why then ride softboots? The eternal discussion about soft or hard boots is also more philosophical than alpinistic. There is currently even a splitboard softboot, which is so hard that you can't reasonably ascend with it. Already after 15 minutes the shins hurt, I go there with my ski touring boat more comfortably.
