ThirtyTwo Latest Happenings

lightboot

Straight from the Press Release:

“Ultralight is 24 percent lighter than ThirtyTwo’s lightest boot from last season. It’s also the first rubberless snowboard boot ever, and it utilizes a lightweight minimalist shell to eliminate excess weight.  The Ultralight is a great freestyle and freeride boot with an advanced articulating cuff shell construction that allows the upper section of the boot to move independently, creating consistent heel hold through the full flex range as well as smoother flex. The Ultralight features an STI Evolution FoamTM one-piece midsole/outsole, and a 3-D Molded Tongue for easier lacing, improved fit and heel hold. It also contains STI System G2TM in the heel to absorb shock and prevent heel bruises.”

32outerwear

Straight from the Press Release:
“ThirtyTwo team rider Stian Solberg didn’t hustle his fellow team riders in a game of C-Lo, he signed on as the brand’s first apparel program team rider. Known for its innovative light boots, ThirtyTwo committed to its apparel and accessories program by signing Stian Solberg head-to-toe.  The brand’s 2007 apparel and accessories offering includes first layer and three apparel collections – Premium, Organic and Search & Rescue. The first layer is the key to keeping body heat in and maintaining warmth in sub-zero conditions on the mountain. ThirtyTwo’s first layer collection of tops and bottoms is not only warm and comfortable; it features Merino Wool, Bamboo, Nano and CoolMaxTM technology.”

Things are looking nice for next season already.
