Boa fit system

Not partaking in winter sports or trail running, this thing is king of a revelation to me. How has it not made the transition to climbing shoes? This guy is tired of velcro straps stretching and laces loosening.

Shoes mfgs, start using this please and thanks

I wouldn't want them on my climbing shoes. They would could interfere with the rock while crack and face climbing. Slab climbing might be ok.

You could just add your own laces and report back.

Agreed I wouldn't want them on climbing shoes.  The dial mechanisms break when they run into rock (I know from mtb).

That's an expensive jacket, who sells the lace system independently though 

What is wrong with laces? The only reason I want boa is because I'm exerting a ton of force on my snowboard boots, and I want to be able to quickly tighten them under tension. Climbing shoes don't need to be that tight or quickly adjustable. After a pitch, take your shoes off, or make them tighter. Takes 20 seconds.

I can't confidently say, having never used it, but it seems to be somewhat popular on trail runners and  tnf has an approachie which uses it 

Ripped a boa clean off of a shoe when it hit a rock.
