ThirtyTwo Jones MTB Lite Men's Snowboard Boot 2027 | Black/Black/Gum

ThirtyTwo Jones MTB Lite Men's Snowboard Boot 2027 | Black/Black/Gum

Jeremy Jones' Splitboard Boot, Stripped Down for the Climb.

The ThirtyTwo Jones MTB Lite Men's Snowboard Boot 2027 is a stiff, lace up touring boot designed with Jeremy Jones for splitboard missions. ThirtyTwo rates it 10 out of 10 on flex, pairs a Performance XLT liner with a carbon shank and a dual density midsole, and adds a quick release walk mode buckle for the skin track.

Underfoot, a Michelin Fiberlite outsole bites on icy bootpacks and rocky ridgelines, and a zippered storm flap keeps the 32 Easy Lace loops buried away from deep snow. This is the Black/Black/Gum colourway: classic, low key and built to get beaten up in the backcountry.

Best for: experienced splitboarders and freeriders who want a stiff, precise, lightweight lace boot with a proper walk mode.

The Tech and What It Does in the Backcountry

✅ Designed with Jeremy Jones: built for splitboard missions, so the boot is set up for the skin track as much as the descent
✅ Performance XLT liner: ThirtyTwo's improved fit liner for the MTB Lite, giving a supportive, locked feel on long days. Like every ThirtyTwo liner it is heat mouldable, and we mould it free in store
✅ 32 Easy Lace loops: traditional laces you can tension zone by zone, so you set the fit exactly where your foot needs it
✅ Quick release walk mode buckle: flip it open for a freer stride on the climb, lock it down when it's time to ride
✅ Zippered storm flap: covers the lacing to keep snow out on deep skin tracks and bootpacks
✅ Michelin Fiberlite outsole: grip on rock, ice and the scramble to the summit
✅ Dual density midsole: cushioning underfoot paired with stability for the ride down
✅ Carbon shank: stiffens the platform so the boot transfers power and holds a precise edge
✅ Lightweight build: less weight to lift on every step uphill

Built for Australian Conditions

Splitboarding in Australia means long skins out of Perisher and Guthega into the Main Range, or Bogong High Plains days from Falls Creek. The snow can go from wind scoured ice on the ridges to heavy spring corn by lunchtime, so a stiff, precise boot with real grip underfoot matters. The walk mode buckle makes the skin track easier, the Michelin Fiberlite outsole holds on icy bootpacks, and the carbon shank keeps the boot driving a long splitboard on the way down. It's just as at home on a Japan or New Zealand touring trip.

Setup Tips from the Shop

Fit the MTB Lite with the touring socks you actually use, one pair only. Snug the lower laces first, then the upper zone, and use the walk mode buckle open on the climb and closed for the descent. Check for heel lift on a steep skin track before your first big mission, not on it. We fit boots for free in store at 435A Bridge Rd Richmond.

Not for you if: you mostly ride resort laps and the park and want a softer, easier boot. Browse our men's snowboard boots and use the filters to find a softer flex in your size.
