Yes—this is one of BOA's strongest advantages. You can reach the dials (especially upper zone dials positioned on the tongue) while strapped in and make quarter-turn adjustments without removing gloves or unbuckling. Lower zone dials on the lateral side are also accessible in most binding configurations. This mid-run micro-adjustability is impossible with traditional laces.
