Weston Backwoods Carbon Splitboard 2022

Why We Like The Backwoods Carbon Splitboard

For ultralight, versatile backcountry performance, we appreciate that the Backwoods Carbon Splitboard takes the widely loved standard Backwoods and supercharges it with carbon for easier uphill performance and more response and more durability. Featuring Weston’s most technically advanced Strike wood core, this split combines paulownia wood with aluminum stringers to increase toughness while maintaining a damp, lively feel. We appreciate that the Carbon Weave topsheet replaces fiberglass to save weight and add response, while Rooted flax inserts are strategically placed to increase strength and snap. So if you’ve loved the regular Backwoods splitboard but dream about putting it on a diet, we’re happy to say the Backwoods Carbon retains all the same flex, camber profile, and shape but in a lightweight package for venturing off further and higher into the backcountry.
