Choosing ski & snowboard bindings and boots starts with one basic split: are you outfitting a skier with boots, or building a snowboard setup that includes bindings? The Head BYS HP Ski Boots and System MTN Rear Entry Step in Combo answer those needs in very different ways.
The Head is the focused ski-boot purchase, while the System combines snowboard boots and bindings with a rear-entry step-in design. That means the right choice depends more on your sport and desired setup than on price alone.
Quick verdict
Choose the Head BYS HP Ski Boots - Size 16 / Mondo 34 Used if you need ski boots in the listed Mondo 34 / US 16 sizing and are comfortable with pre-owned equipment. Its price is $139.99.
Choose the System MTN Rear Entry Step in Bindings w/Pro Twist Boots Men's Boot and Bindings Combo if you want snowboard boots and bindings together, plus a rear-entry approach to getting in and out. Its price is $279.95. The $139.96 price gap reflects that these are different kinds of purchases, not direct substitutes.

Where each product wins
Head BYS HP Ski Boots
The Head wins for a shopper specifically seeking ski boots rather than a snowboard package. The pre-owned format and lower price make the purchase more focused, with the listed Mondo 34 / US 16 sizing giving the decision a clear starting point.
System MTN Rear Entry Step-In Combo
The System wins for a snowboard binding upgrade that also includes boots. Its boot-and-bindings pairing and rear-entry step-in design address the convenience concerns described for repeated entry and strapping in, making it the more complete snowboard-oriented choice.
Product notes
Head BYS HP Ski Boots - Size 16 / Mondo 34 Used
Head BYS HP Ski Boots is the straightforward pick when the goal is a ski boot in the listed Mondo 34 / US 16 size, with a 365 mm BSL as an additional sizing reference. The description says the pre-owned equipment has been cleaned and refurbished, giving shoppers useful context about the condition. The main limitation is equally clear: the title and attributes identify the pair as Used and Pre-owned, so it is intended for shoppers comfortable with that condition. It is also presented as ski boots, not as the boot-and-bindings package named by the System product. Choose it for the ski category and specific sizing; pass if you want the snowboard combo format or prefer not to buy pre-owned gear.
System MTN Rear Entry Step-In Combo
The System MTN Rear Entry Step in Combo makes sense for a snowboarder who wants boots and bindings handled in one purchase. The title pairs System MTN bindings with Pro Twist Boots, while the description emphasizes easier lacing, keeping the boots tight, and getting into the bindings without sitting down for every run. That convenience-focused package is the concrete reason to choose it over a ski-boot-only purchase. Its limitation is category-specific: the title identifies it as a Men's snowboard boot-and-bindings combo, so it is not the direct match for someone shopping ski boots or a unisex-labelled boot. The package format also means it is not a boots-only purchase.
Final choice by use case
- For skiing: Choose the Head BYS HP Ski Boots, especially if the Mondo 34 / US 16 sizing is the target and pre-owned condition works for you.
- For snowboarding with boots and bindings together: Choose the System MTN Rear Entry Step in Combo for its named boot-and-bindings pairing and step-in design.
- For a snowboard binding upgrade: The System is the relevant match because bindings and Pro Twist Boots are included in the product title.
- For a focused ski-boot purchase: The Head is the clearer fit because it is explicitly identified as ski boots rather than a snowboard setup.
