Looking to hear anyone's feedback on the the Mystic Code 1 and the BOA system.
My initial thoughts were that it sounds good in theory, but.......Up sell gimmick or not - how will the BOA system hold up in the salt water over time....3,612,18 months.....does it stay down much more than other Mystic Harness (Warrior, Shadow)

There's plenty of claims of this being much better for those with back complaints / injuries. Seems to of been out for the last 6 months now, anyone out there been using one for awhile? Be great to hear your feedback. Cheers

I called it a gimmick untill I tried it, yet to test durability.

I've only played with it in a shop. I thought it was great. Easy to adjust, I love to get my harness super tight. I think it would be unreal being able to adjust your harness on the fly too. Loosen for some ezy down winding. Tighten to play in some flat sections.

As for durability, hard to say. The BOA snowboard boots weren't great when they came out, but I believe they were easy to repair. I think the snowboard boots are pretty solid these days though.

I've had mine for a couple of months and love it you can crank it so tight you struggle to breath for doing tricks and then pop it out and freeride.they warranty the boa system for the life of the harness it gives a lot of support the only downside is a little extra weight and you lose a little bit of flexibility just remember to wash the boa out with fresh water after each session
