another broken lace system..

By Stangcotic Ranked #570 - Men's Lace Snowboard Boots December 14, 2006

I bought a pair of the SL-9's before a trip up to Whistler. The first time I put them on The system broke...and I wasn't even half way tightened!!! I actually saw the flaw in the lace before I even put the boot on. I could see a little "ripple" in the lace and sure enough thats where it broke. The inner part of the lace broke and then the rest of it ripped off without much effort. Its been a month now and they are still in the shop..I called Burton and they admitted that they where having major problems with lace systems and where about 3 weeks backed up fixing them. obviously there are satisfied buyers who wrote reviews so all I have to say is GOOD LUCK and BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK if you decide to buy a pair of SL-9's. **This problem seems to be effecting the entire Burton lineup with the Lace System according to my Local Ski shop in Seattle, WA**
