Skill Level: Intermediate–Advanced
Riding Style: All-Mountain / Freestyle
Flex: 5–6/10
Best For: Riders Who Love Traditional Laces with BOA® Heel Hold
Personality: Comfortable, Playful & Versatile
The 2027 Vans Invado Pro is one of Vans' most versatile snowboard boots, blending freestyle-inspired comfort with dependable all-mountain performance. Built for riders who want the convenience of BOA® heel adjustment without giving up the customizable feel of traditional laces, the Invado Pro has become a favorite among resort riders who split their time between groomers, trees, side hits, and terrain parks.
Its signature Hybrid BOA® Fit System combines traditional laces for customized shell tension with a BOA® dial dedicated to heel hold. This allows riders to independently dial in ankle retention while maintaining the familiar flex and feel of a lace-up boot. Inside, the V2 UltraCush™ Smartwool® Liner, V2 Harness, and Custom Slide Guide work together to minimize heel lift while providing warmth, comfort, and support throughout long days on the mountain.
Underfoot, the V2 PopCush™ Footbed, V1 Waffle Lug Outsole, All-Trac™ Cold Weather Rubber Compound, PleasureCuff™, and Heat Retention 360° create a lightweight, comfortable platform with dependable grip and impact protection. The result is a boot that's forgiving enough for freestyle progression while remaining supportive for aggressive resort riding.

The Hybrid Freestyle Favorite
A versatile snowboard boot that combines the customizable feel of traditional laces with the convenience and heel security of BOA® technology.
Riders considering the Vans Invado Pro should also look at:
Vans Aura Pro 2.0 for a more responsive dual-zone BOA® system.
Vans Infuse for adjustable flex and premium all-mountain performance.
Nitro Venture BOA for riders wanting a medium-flex dual BOA® alternative.
Nitro Team BOA for more aggressive all-mountain response.
The Invado Pro has remained a favorite because it offers the best of both worlds: the familiar fit customization of traditional laces with the convenience of BOA® heel retention. It's especially well suited to riders who enjoy freestyle-inspired riding across the entire mountain and want a boot that's comfortable from first chair to last lap.
