The Salomon Faction Boa is a soft-flex all-mountain snowboard boot aimed at beginners and intermediates. It uses a single BOA Coiler dial with TX3 lace for fast entry and on-the-fly tightening, a heat-moldable Ultralon liner, and Salomon's Fit To Ride construction, which the brand says is 10% lighter and 10% more compact than its standard build. The D-Light EVA outsole keeps weight down and adds shock absorption. Against stiffer, multi-zone boots it trades precision and response for comfort and easy entry, which suits riders still building skills rather than charging hard. Owners rate it highly overall, with most praise for comfort and the BOA closure and some complaints about softness and long-term durability.

Riders rate the Faction Boa highly, mostly for out-of-the-box comfort and the quick single-dial closure. Beginners and intermediates call it an easy, forgiving boot. Criticism centers on the soft flex feeling vague at speed and on durability after a season or two.
The Salomon Faction Boa is a soft-flex snowboard boot for beginner and intermediate riders who want comfort and durability while they progress. It is made for all-mountain riding and comes in a regular width.
The boot uses Fit To Ride (FTR) construction, inspired by sneaker design. FTR is 10% lighter and 10% more compact without giving up comfort or durability. With 1:1 lasting, every half-size change in the liner comes with a half-size change in the shell. The D-Light outsole is a lightweight, ultra low profile, full EVA outsole that absorbs shock.
A single BOA Coiler system with an H4 Coiler dial and a TX3 lace handles lacing. Push the dial to engage it, turn to tighten, and pull to release. The Ultralon liner uses heat moldable, multidensity foam placed in the foot, shin, ankle and heel for a customizable fit.
