United Shapes Covert Splitboard - 2026 Black, 161cm

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Covert has been my go-to when I want a split that rides like my favorite freeride board. It feels solid underfoot on descents-great edge hold on firm snow-but also light enough for long skins. The early-rise nose gave me confidence in powder, and I appreciated how lively the tail felt when I needed quick maneuvers. It honestly makes backcountry laps feel just as fun as resort runs."Who It's ForIntermediate to Expert Backcountry Riders:The Covert is for snowboarders ready to explore beyond the resort. Ideal for riders with touring experience, it offers dependable uphill efficiency and stable downhill performance. Whether you're stepping into splitboarding for the first time or pushing into steeper, more technical terrain, it's built for confident freeriding. What It's ForBackcountry Touring with All-Mountain Versatility:Designed for long ascents and rewarding descents, the Covert excels on powder days, wind-buffed alpine lines, and technical tree runs. With its directional camber/early-rise profile and tapered shape, it balances float, edge hold, and maneuverability across mixed conditions. Why We Like ItReliable Stability, Float, and Eco-Minded Build:We like the Covert for its ability to handle touring demands without sacrificing ride quality. The Free Core blends poplar, paulownia, and ash stringers for strength and energy, while dual carbon layers add torsional stability. Karakoram UltraClips 2. 0 keep the board locked tight on descents. Plus, the bio-based resin and recycled sintered base show a real effort toward lower-impact design.
