The 2024 Nitro Capital TLS is the pinnacle of boots in the Nitro range of snowboard boots, offering the most precise fit and response that you can get. The Capital can handle it all, from X-Games jumps to steep and deep Revelstoke laps thanks to the almost endless amount of tech crammed into it. The Armoured Spine, Cloud 10 Liner, Tongue Stiffener and Vibram Outsole are only some of the features found in this high-end boot so it can offer you next level response and incredible comfort so you can keep progressing your riding.
Boot Type: Advanced All Mountain
Boot Flex (1 = Soft / 10 = Stiff): 8-10/10
Lacing System: TLS 5 Twin Lacing System
The Nitro TLS 5 Twin Lacing System is one of the best speed lace systems on the market, with easy lace engagement and release, along with low abrasion Dyneema laces for long-lasting, reliable performance. TLS 5 features two independent upper and lower lacing zones, so you can lock in your ideal fit in a flash, adjust your lacing without needing to step out of your bindings, and bail out of your boots in record time at the end of the day.
Liner: Cloud 10 Liner
The Nitro Cloud 10 Liner is one of the best liners from Nitro, with a lightweight, supportive fit that will blow almost any other liner out of the water. All Nitro liners are heat mouldable, and while it isn't necessary, a heat mould can give you a more custom fit from day 1 as opposed to wearing the boot in. The Cloud 10 Liner comes with a triple-density Ortholite Footbed, which offers superior shock absorption and energy return with minimal compression, so your footbed will perform consistently for the entire life of your boot. It is also quick-drying, extremely lightweight, and has an anti-microbial coating, making your boots smell better, feel better, and last longer. The highest rated liner Nitro makes, the Cloud 10 is the most responsive, best fitting liner on the market.
ILS Liner Lacing
The Nitro ILS Liner Lacing system features a lacing harness directly connected to the boot shell that snugly wraps around the liner, firmly securing it in the shell for strong hold and a precise fit.
Re/Lace Liner Locker
The Re/Lace Liner Locker revolutionizes how a liner lace functions. During a day of snowboarding, your boots are going to loosen. Your foot settles, your boot expands, it happens. With the Re/Lace Liner Locker, once the laces are locked in at the start of the day all you need to do is pull the liner lace tab to retighten your liner, without ever needing to undo your boots.
Therminator Shield
The Therminator Shield is a thin thermal layer between sole and liner that reflects heat back into your boot, keeping your feet warm all day.
Ortholite Triple Density Footbed
Ortholite is the worlds leading supplier of open-cell foam insole technology. Ortholite compresses less than 5% with excellent levels of shock absorption and energy return. It also has a unique open cell structure that wicks moisture away, dries quickly, and contains a patented anti-microbial formulation to fight fungus, bacteria and odour. This lightweight technology provides optimum performance without adding excess weight to the boot.
Directional Non-Slip Heel Grip Lining
Additional grip so your feet keep your feet from slipping in the boot.
Cushioning / Traction: Vibram Outsole made of Icetrek Vibram Compound with D3O Shock Absorption
Designed specifically for enhanced traction in colder temperatures, Icetrek Vibram Compound has a special softness that allows it to grip snow and ice better, while still being gentle on indoor surfaces and resistant to dirt and moisture. This technology in conjunction with an extra grippy sole design make this one of the best snowboard boots for hiking. This outsole is combined with an EVA midsole, which reduces weight, increases impact absorption, and aids in heat retention.
Air Dampening
The best shock absorbing technology on the planet, this air suspension system from Nitro keeps your heels from getting bruised on hard landings, and noticeably increases comfort without compromising response or control.
EVA Midsole
Used on all boots with rubber outsoles, the EVA midsole reduces the overall weight and provides cushioning and thermal insulation
Shell: Armoured Shell
Nitro have given the Select a new internal moulded shell. This 3D moulded, anatomically shaped shell wraps around the heel and sides of the foot, increasing heel hold, rigidity, and durability.
Hike 'N' Ride Construction
Made specifically to make the transition between hiking and ride mode, this performance change allows to be more beneficial for the rider. Hike mode offers a softer flex and ride mode a more responsive, rigid flex.
Adjustable Forward Lean
For adjusting the flex and response of the boot for riding mode, stiffer for riding while looser for hike mode.
Flex Link
This boot features a flexible panel at the ankle for consistent flex without buckling and more response without adding bulk.
Auto-Power Strap
The Power Strap on the Select boot lets you customise your response and power. Crank it tight to increase the stiffness of the boot from the top down.
Bail Out System
A pull tab that is placed on the middle of the TLS on the outside of the boot allows for effortless unlacing and record breaking speeds for taking your boots off.
Internal Ankle Support
This internal ankle support system puts an anatomically moulded plate over the top of your ankle, evenly distributing lace pressure and giving you a more precise fit.
Power Tongue Stiffener in Two Flexes
This removable piece adjusts the stiffness of your tongue, and in turn, the response of your boot. Add it in for more aggressive turns and quicker response, or take it out for a little more freedom and a more relaxed ride.
Molded Toe Cap
Precision-molded to fit the last perfectly, the molded toe cap provides more space in the front of the boot and offers protection from binding straps worn on the toe.
45 Degree Laceglider
This plastic insert is positioned along the ankle to significantly reduce lace friction and makes tying up the TLS system even easier.
