Terrain Use: All Mountain

Pros: Heel hold, Comfortable, Easy lacing, Durable, Traction, Good quality, Warm, Breathable, Waterproofing, Easy in & out, Well known brand

Other Thoughts: NO CONS. Wiggle room for toes, extremely light, no pressure points, great traction, all around feel-good boots! I have DC Halos and they aren't even close to to the degree of comfort of this Salomon boots. I hate to say it, but with all the tech in the DC boots, my feet were still cold and damp. The Salomon Vigil boots solved that problem right away. No more cold toes! They were actually very warm and cozy after taking off the boots. It's so fast to get in and out of the boots. Adjusting them is a ridiculously quick/easy. I went to Sierra Snowboard looking for pants, but at the insane price I got these boots... my honey bunny got boots too! It was like "Buy 1, Get 1 Free"! Sweet deal!

Terrain Use: Jumps, Speed, Powder, Carving, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Durable, lightweight, Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Strong edgehold, Great value, Stiff, Well known brand

Other Thoughts: The title says it all: LOVE IT! I figured for less that $100, I couldn't pass it up... even if I ended up disliking it. My thoughts on it is far from dislike! I used this on black diamond runs and it performed insanely responsive. Carving was phenomenal! Full control speeding down the mountain and the edges reacted instantly at hard breaking. The ride is soooo fun! Must I mention the board is extremely light?! Yes it is. The graphics and colors are nice and neutral. This board is highly recommended for smaller riders (under 5 feet).
