Key Equipment Disruptive x Krister Kopala Boot
Created in close collaboration with one of the most progressive splitboard mountaineers in the world, Krister Kopala, the Key Equipment x Krister Kopala Boot is a purpose-built tool for tackling far-reaching and daunting objectives. Revisiting every detail of their venerable Disruptive Boot, Key Equipment shaved off a significant amount of weight without detracting from its definitive ride quality. Since mountaineering usually involves billy-goating through and around rocks, Key Equipment paired this boot with an extra rugged Vibram sole, providing durability and a confident grip in icy terrain. Similar to the Disruptive, low-friction cuff pivots provide a nearly frictionless range of motion while the engineered lateral stiffness keeps pressure on your edges, helping you navigate icy skin tracks. Whether you want a boot to tackle the gnarliest objectives or want a lighter option so you can harvest more powder, the Key Equipment x Krister Kopala Boot is up for the task.
- Rugged and aggressive Vibram sole provides long-lasting traction.
- Low-friction cuff pivots allow you to move efficiently on big objectives.
- Lighter than its heavier sibling for extra skin track efficiency.
- Lateral stiffness helps you pressure your edges for confidence on icy skin tracks.
- Tool-free forward lean adjustment allows you to quickly dial in your preferred stance.
- Designed to be easily repaired in the field if necessary.
- Palau Liner is highly customizable and comfortable.
- Perhaps the best splitboard mountaineering boot available?

Questions & Reviews
For the layout on these buckles/straps in order to fully open the system you must un-velcro the strap and pull it out of the buckle end.
however I did see someone using the Tahoe Trail Tools Strapoff Adapter on the buckles for this boot. which allows you to fully open the boot by just releasing the buckle. no velcro adjustments
I think the 26.5/27.0 would be the right fit based on the BSL.
To make sure that we get the right fit for you, we recommend filling out our boot fitting form here .
These boots will be available to ship in early November.
