Burton Shells and thermo fits...

[Dave*]

Burton Reactors...contemplating thermofit upgrade...

Wraparound vs Tongue style thermos in burton boots.

I have easy access to Intuition or Scarpa wraparounds( the scarpas look very similar to the original deeluxe liners) or Garmont tongue style thermos.

Any pros or cons to wrap vs tongue in burton hardboots (or for that matter any hardboot)

The stock burton liners are a tongue style.


thanks

A friend of mine tried putting the tongue style in his Burton hardboots (don't remember the model), but the liner was too short. The top of the liner was about a 1/2" below the boot cuff. He returned the liners and stayed with the stock Burton liner.

The wrap around style is taller.

I have intuition wrap-arounds in my Fire's. They work great...the only thing is that the shells from burton cover a range of sizes. So the liner that you use may have to be bigger than you're accustomed to in order to fill out the extra space if your feet are at the low end of teh shell size range.

will fit properly, the top of burton boots tend to dig into your shin unless you have a liner with a plastic peice on the tongue
also be careful of sharp spots on the shells of burton boots, fitting the raichle thermoflex liners to those boots is a bitch compared to putting them in deeluxe or UPZ boots.

I had a pair of new Furnace boots I thought I'd give a try this season. They are actually magic on the run down, but the magic soon wears off on the lift when you remember your toes are freezing.
