Abstract: Adjustable and/or dual-suspension boot levers for hardshell boots, having upper parts and lower parts that rotate relative to one another, are disclosed. Adjustable boot levers disclosed herein are adjustable along a continuum or at one of a plurality of preset positions on a lever to provide a forward-lean angle customizable to a user's preferences. Dual-suspension boot levers provide fore-aft dampening and are also customizable by selection of appropriate elastic materials and properties for use in the forward-lean and backward-lean suspension devices. In some embodiments, adjustability and dual-suspension are combined in a boot lever design.

Abstract: Laterally adjustable hooks may be used to join two or more substantially planar parts, such as two halves of a splitboard. In an embodiment, a laterally adjustable hook comprises a unitary body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a main portion and a nose portion, with the main portion comprising at least one oblong, beveled slot and the nose portion extending from an end of the main portion. A screw or wedge nut may be used to apply pressure to edges of the oblong, beveled slot, and a pair of set screws may contact and laterally secure the wedge nut.
