Love traditional laces, but don't like lacing them in cold weather? DC Ceptor snowboard boots have solved the problem with the new DC Cinch closure system.

Tighten the lower region to your liking and secure the laces with the Cinch; then comfortably lace the uppers without having to hold constant pressure to keep the lowers tight
Moisture-wicking system lets moisture vapor escape from the liners through vents in the shells to prevent feet from overheating and building up moisture; feet stay drier
Ergonomically-shaped 3D tongues with seamless construction prevent pinching and hot spots
Molded backstays in the shells save your legs when you land in the backseat, and won't wash out when you hit the gas and go fast
Articulated upper cuffs offer outstanding support and an easy, broken-in feel
Lightweight, low-profile outsoles allow maximum board-to-terrain feel; traction pattern grips well on and off the snow and prevents snow from building up and clogging bindings
Impact-absorbing padding won't change properties under varied climates or temperatures, so it always remains effective
Top-of-the-line liners have multidensity cushioning, neoprene ankle wraps and anatomic J-bars for the ultimate in comfort and support and heel hold
DC Ceptor boot liners have an antimicrobial treatment to hinder foot odor and vents that work with the shells to vent heat and help keep liners dry

Please note: DC products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Comments about DC Ceptor Snowboard Boots - 2012/2013:

These boots are great, comfy, warm and waterproof (as any boots should be). There's a few things to note however:
1. These boots are very stiff and meant for advanced riders. If you are a beginner, steer clear! With stiffness comes the compromise of comfort. These will not be as comfortable as softer boots, but in return you get responsiveness for aggressive riding.
2. DC boots run a little small. I normally wear a size 11 boot in all other brands (K2, 32, etc.) but I had to go with an 11.5 in these boots.
3. These boots are a little uncomfortable in the shins. Basically, the boots have stiff inserts which make the boot stiff, but there's not enough padding. As a result, there's alot of hard pressure on your shins when you go toe-side (reason why I dropped the rating to 4 stars). However, the problem is easily fixable with GOOD socks that have good shin padding. I actually use my mountaineering socks with these boots (Smartwool Mountaineering Sock).

Overall: bomb boots. I would definitely buy them again. Just make sure you get the right size (1/2 size up in my case) and get some extra padding on the shins.
