Tour deep, ride hard, that's the life of the Covert Splitboard
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I toured a long ridge line in variable snow on the Covert Splitboard and the tapered directional shape gave me confident float once things opened up into deeper pow. The kick-tail let me ride switch through a tight section without ever feeling like I was fighting the board."
United Shapes designed the Covert Splitboard for the kind of day that starts with skins on your feet and ends with a long, open descent you earned every foot of. The tapered, directional shape with positive camber gives the board confident edge hold on the skin track and stable footing on firm traverses, while early rise in the nose keeps you floating once the snow gets deep. A classic kick-tail adds a playful edge, letting you ride switch or work in a little creativity on the way down without sacrificing the control this board is built around.
Karakoram hardware keeps the transition from tour mode to ride mode fast and dependable, so you spend less time fussing with gear and more time moving. Underneath it all, a poplar, paulownia, and beech core paired with uni-directional carbon and a hard glass topsheet keeps the ride lively without feeling twitchy, whether you're threading technical terrain or opening it up on a big open face.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This snowboard is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the board ships, so it arrives ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works
Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every board in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so it arrives ready to ride with no setup required.
Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.
No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size of the United Shapes Covert Splitboard 2027 suits a rider weighing 120–190 lb?
The 157 cm Covert is listed for riders weighing 120–190 lb (54–86 kg), with a 264 mm waist and guidance for men’s US 9–11 boots. Choose by weight and boot size; if you’re between lengths, the shorter option favors maneuverability, while the longer option favors float and stability.How does the United Shapes Covert Splitboard’s hybrid camber perform on tours and in powder?
Its hybrid camber and tapered directional shape are designed to engage edges on firm traverses while the early-rise nose helps the board float in deeper snow. The kick-tail supports playful, switch-friendly turns on the descent.What construction does the United Shapes Covert Splitboard use?
The Free Core 2.0 combines poplar, paulownia, and beech, with uni-directional carbon, a uni-directional hard glass topsheet, and 2x layer blax top and bottom. This construction pairs a named wood core with carbon and glass reinforcement.Which bindings work with the United Shapes Covert Splitboard’s hardware?
The Covert uses Karakoram clips and is designed for purpose-built splitboard bindings compatible with that hardware. Alpine snowboard bindings are not a substitute for splitboard bindings.How should I care for the United Shapes Covert Splitboard’s base after touring?
The sintered P-Tex 3000 base is designed to hold wax and speed, so wax it regularly, especially after abrasive or dry snow. After use, fully dry both board halves, clips, hooks, and inserts before storage; the sidewalls are extruded ABS.
