a high-quality boot doesn't always have to cost a fortune. the dc phase impressively proves that. it has everything you expect from a good snowboard boot but foregoes premium features in favour of the price. the phase is a great, straightforward boot with a medium flex that allows for exploring every terrain. 

outsole
the lightweight unilite® foundation outsole is dc's lightest sole. it is made entirely of unilite material, which offers incredible durability, cushioning, and padding.

liner
the response i liner offers pure performance, despite the lower price point. a multi-layer performance design with eva memory foam and a heat-regulating fleece lining provides unparalleled fit and comfort plus the proven support and lockdown of a classic lace-up closure.

lacing system
the traditional lacing system is and remains one of the best and most reliable lacing systems for snowboard boots. many riders still trust the classic lacing system and appreciate the easy replacement if a lace breaks.
