SkiMetrix Booster Straps - Expert Racing

The SkiMetrix Booster Straps for expert skiers or racers is a stiffer elastic boot top strap that glues your leg to your boot when it is cinched tight. This increases the responsive feel of your ski and ski boot for better ski control through turns. Worn by Olympians and Freestylers, the Booster Strap eliminates shin bang and keeps your shins glued to the front of your boots, no matter what your body position. These are super handy for aggressive, recreational skiing in variable conditions. When the air space between your body and your gear is eliminated, you get better shock-absorbing power, resulting in a more comfortable ride.

About Booster: Being athletic and loving the winter outdoors Fougere began his skiing life in his early 20’s after earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Taking a mechanical approach to the aspects of skiing-specifically energy and load transfer from the skier to the ski. In that respect he thought the ideal ski boot should be rigid in the lateral (edging) mode and elastic in the forward pressure mode.  Specifically focusing on the pressure response mode of the ski to the skier, the idea of the Booster strap was born.  Suddenly, in 1999, the epiphany.  After coaching and watching kids in the starting gate for 25 years the idea struck-use elastic bands for boot tightness and a better pressure response.  The first Booster strap was fabricated in Fougere’s kitchen. With heavy elastic bands  he was able to control the forward pressure while keeping the lateral rigidity intact.
