What is °bootcap®?
°bootcap® is an insulated toe cover for ski boots. Made of high-density foam, it adheres directly to the outside of a ski boot’s toe box, where boots lose the most heat, and keeps skiers’ feet 20° F warmer. There are no batteries or electronics: stick it on once and it works every run. It was developed by ski industry veterans, and the idea is so simple we were surprised it hadn’t been invented already.
Will my boots still have functionality?
°bootcap®’s design allows for full functionality of your ski boot while skiing, standing, walking, hiking, or riding chairlifts. For skiers that constantly adjust their buckles during the day, no problem, °bootcap® won’t interfere.
Will °bootcap® fit my boots?
Yes. °bootcap® is one-size-fits-all for all adult boots.
How do they work?
It’s not complicated. Ski boots lose 90% of the warmth your body naturally generates through the toe box. °bootcap® adheres directly to the outside of a ski boot’s toe box and keeps that heat from escaping by insulating the area with dense EVA foam. Without the use of batteries or electronics, °bootcap® provides instant insulation and warmth. A simple idea that makes a big difference when you’re out in the elements.
How long does a °bootcap® last?
Due to the materials used and the nature of skiing, °bootcap® carries a one year warranty from the original date of purchase. For more information, visit the Shipping & Returns page.
How do I attach to my boots?
Please view our installation instructions.
Should the °bootcap® touch the top of the jig when installing?
No. The area of your ski boot that is covered by the spacing jig is where ski bindings make contact with your boot. This area needs to remain uncovered so your bindings operate correctly. °bootcap® should NOT encroach in this area.
Is there a left & right °bootcap®?
Yes. When installed correctly, the "°bootcap®" logo should be on the right boot, 'spoke' logo on left boot.
How do I prevent the paper backing from tearing when peeling it off the adhesive?
Use a heat gun or hair dryer for 5 seconds to slightly warm the paper and adhesive before removing it.
Is it possible to remove °bootcap® & reinstall after installation?
No. Once the °bootcap® has been installed, it is meant to remain on the boot for the life of the °bootcap®.
