masterfit Booster Strap for Ski Expert/Racer

• Expert/Racer Model - Firmer - One Pair (two straps). The Booster is worn by Olympians like Ted Ligety, Bode Miller and freeskier Peter Olenick.
• The Booster Strap is an essential accessory for optimizing ski boot performance. When used correctly, it guarantees maximum ski boot performance and extraordinary ski control, improving comfort and completely eliminating the empty space between the boot tongue and shin, thus serving a shock-absorber function and aiding the prevention of shin bang and other boot maladies.
• The Booster Strap is made of high strength elastomeric webbing with an anti-slip micro-adjustable cam buckle. The elastomer allows flexibility, vibration and shock damping. The cam buckle assures a better fit and more comfort.
• The Booster Strap elastically fastens together the leg and the ski boot and provides direct ski control so the skis will start turning sooner and will end the turn faster.
• The graded elasticity of the product allows skiers to choose the reaction speeds that best suit their technical and physical characteristics and skiing ability.

Booster straps are a bootfitter's go-to solution when skiers come in to the shop complaining about the dreaded (and painful) shin bang. The booster strap is elastic with anti slip metal cam (that you can really wrench down!), allowing the skier to get an extremely close fit around the top of the boot. The elasticity of the booster strap speeds up the boot's response time when turning and leaves less room between your shin and the boot so they are more "as one" than ever before. The booster can be used in addition to your stock powerstrap, but to get the most out of it we recommend replacing your powerstrap with the booster which can usually be done with a screwdriver. There are two levels of booster: intermediate which has two elastic bands and the expert that has 3, offering a bit more resistance for more aggressive skiing.
