Bataleon Snowboard Boots - Rave Double BOA Black

Snowboard Boots - Bataleon Rave BOA Black

The Rave BOA is a premium, mid-stiff all mountain boot from Bataleon. It hits the sweet spot between price, performance and fit.The Rave BOA provides just the right amount of support and responsiveness, with an excellent fit. Like all Bataleon boots, it’s designed with Future Flex. As soon as you try them on, your feet are securely wrapped with strong heel hold and a soft, comfortable toe box that adapts to your feet over time. The shell is split into two parts, allowing for a natural movement when flexing (Articulated Cuff). The heel and toe box are reinforced with rubber to protect against impacts and prevent the boot from stretching (TPU Backstay & Rubber ToeCap). The shell is welded with minimal seams to keep snow and water out (Seamless Construction). The upper rear section of the boot is highly elastic to accommodate larger calves. The Rave BOA features a Dual BOA system, allowing you to adjust the pressure on the lower and upper parts of the boot separately for a secure fit without pressure points. Thanks to its compact shell and optimized transition between outsole and shell, the Rave fits perfectly with binding systems like Fase, Flow, and Supermatic.

Liner
Premium Heatmoldable Liner
The liner is high-end with the latest technology for grip, comfort, warmth, and cushioning. It features very aggressive foot hold with long-lasting durability. The liner can be molded to your feet for quicker break-in but is recommended primarily if pressure points occur.

Lacing System:
H5 Dual BOA Lacing
Lacing system with dual BOA for a secure fit without pressure points. If you’re going for BOA, dual BOA is highly recommended as it allows you to adjust the upper and lower lacing separately for a fit without pressure points. The new H5 BOA system enables micro adjustements in both directions. The Rave got the H5 dial on the upper laces.
