The Kita Hybrid is ideal for big days in any conditions, on all types of terrain. The gold standard premium all-mountain boot in our line, it’s packed with technical features, made for shredding first lift ‘til last.Kita Hybrid uses traditional laces. They’re beloved because of their reliability and simplicity, with precision coming from that morning ritual of getting each eyelet perfectly tightened. Our brand new Speed Hook locks in the tension in the lower part once you’ve got it exactly where you want it.On Kita Hybrid, we used our Internal Heel Lock technology for ultimate heelhold. A turn of the side BOA tightens the internal harness in three dimensions - interior, exterior and from above, lowering both sides of the tongue downwards and preventing heel lift.The modern design is inspired by space, polar and mountain expeditions.
Most of the components are welded rather than sewn to the upper, giving it a unique seamless build that ups the waterproofing & durability to new levels. We’ve added a tough TPU shield around the front called ArmorTech, to protect your toes when billygoating. Underneath, we used our Vibram Approach outsole to improve traction on cold and icy surfaces, with two EVA inserts for dampening. The whole outsole then connects to the Exo Spine seamlessly, eliminating exposed edges at the back. With a top-of-the-line, heat moldable Wrap-style Asym Gold Liner inside, comfort and support is guaranteed out of the box, and there’s a really consistent flex for superlative performance.The Kita Hybrid is built to charge, hard. Durable, rugged performance is the name of the game, perfect for riders who want to shred the whole mountain without compromise.

Dual Zone Boa® / External Heel-lock
With the BOA® Dial on the tongue you will tighten the very top laces and the external wings, which provide a diagonal downward force by folding in and mechanically prevent the heel from coming up. Then the BOA® dial on the side tightens the lower part of the boot.

Outsole
Vibram® Approach

ArmorTech
This bombproof TPU strip wraps around the front of the boot to shield it from abrasion and protect your toes when you're kicking in steps. It also prevents the boot from packing out too much, prolonging its life.
Exo-Spine
An external backstay that supports the whole boot and transfers energy instantly from heel to toe. It connects seamlessly to the outsole via our Transition Zone, so you won't hook up on the binding's heelcup when you enter or exit your binding.
Space Blanket
A thermal insulation barrier between the outsole and the bottom of the liner keeps the warmth inside and the cold outside.
3D Molded Tongue
Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is curved more sharply towards the medial side to match the natural ridgeline of your forefoot. This alleviates pressure points and provides a more balanced feeling of comfort and support versus a standard straight tongue.
3D Molded Toe Box
Our 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.
ASYM3F
A unique asymmetric boot design co-developed with BOA® that generates optimal support and flex. The asym tongue features lace guides positioned on the flatter forefoot areas for more even closure and less point-loaded pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramps.
OC-KUSH
Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps you soak up heavy landings and reduces fatigue from bumpy snow. It also makes your boots super comfy to walk around in.
Vibram®
Based in Italy and with over 80 years of experience, Vibram is the world leader in high-performance rubber soles.
