Who Is The Deeluxe Deemon L3 Boa For?

Those looking for a boot with a bit of oomph. It doesn’t really matter where your riding takes you, be it big mountain charging or ripping the kicker line, with its refined features, solid flex and top of the line tech, the Deemon L3 Boa is ideal for riders who prioritise comfort, performance, and convenience.

Shell & Outsole

Deeluxe take their L3 lacing concept and add a little extra zest by incorporating a BOA system to speed things up. The main lace tightens across the foot and down the shin, with the independent ankle lace locking in the heel to avoid lifting or rubbing.

Wrapped in a DTEX membrane, the shell features a grippy Remedy Outsole, shock absorbing underfoot cushioning, a durable double enforced backbone and a specialised flex window. All together, they ensure the Deemon L3 Boa works consistently day after day, while providing all the creature comforts you’d expect from a boot of this calibre.

With a flex rating of 8, it’s a fairly stiff boot, still a far cry from the carving specific monsters but powerful and responsive enough for high-octane riding and quick reaction time when every second counts. There is an optional Flex Booster add-on to stiffen up the boot if you’re wanting a bit more juice or you’re a heavier rider.

Liner

The Deemon L3 Boa is available with two different liners, the classic Stage 4 and the ultra-premium Custom Thermo Fit option. They’re both great options but think of it like Stage 4 being first class, and CTF is private jet. Both provide anatomically correct fitting, locked in heel hold and independent liner laces, but the CTF is a cut above the rest. If you’re willing to splash a bit more cash, this is the best of the best with Liner Precision Fit Pads, temperature regulation and an internal exoskeleton to give you the best possible fit.

Straight out the box comfort is one thing but getting a boot correctly heat moulded is something altogether different. Mapping every contour and curve of your foot for seamless integration, alleviating hot spots and rubbing, and minimising movement for instant response.

Roundup

Aggressive flex for charging, plush comfort for hiking or skinning and cushioning for heavy impacts when riding park, the Deemon L3 Boa is a real all-rounder. With fans including Quebecois Real Snow maestro Frank Bourgeois and Brandon Cocard, the Deemon L3 Boa is set to become the new standard for high-performance all-mountain riding.

Available for all, every boot in the Deeluxe range is available in unisex sizing, with a narrower, women’s specific last in sizes under 26.0 MP.

Trade Secrets

Florian Heim – Marketing Manager, Deeluxe

“The Deemon L3 BOA is one of my personal highlights of the 21/22 collection for several reasons. We’ve not only completely reimagined our all-mountain flagship boot and equipped it with a new and improved flex window. We’ve also added a BOA configuration that’s exclusively featured on this boot. A BOA version of the Deemon is something that the market already requested for a while. However, we could not add it to the line earlier, since one of the main characteristics of the Deemon is our patented DEELUXE L3 lacing, which keeps your heel locked in place, while you still have the chance to separately tighten the upper and the lower part of your boots.

Till recently, this was only possible with our L3 speed lace system. In the past year though, our product managers had a very nice and productive meeting session at the BOA office in Austria. Together with the BOA development team, they figured out a way how to combine our patented L3 lacing configuration with the signature performance of the BOA® Fit System during this session. The result is called the L3 BOA system and so far, the Deemon L3 BOA is the only boot that’s equipped with this new lacing configuration. We’ve already got plenty of great feedback and it’s no wonder that the boot has become a team favourite immediately.

BTW: If you look closely this season, you might see some well-known pro riders that are not officially part of the DEELUXE team yet riding the new Deemon L3 BOA!”
