Bataleon Snowboard Boots - Salsa Double BOA Black

Snowboard Boots - Bataleon Salsa BOA Black

Salsa BOA is a pair of very balanced snowboard boots with unbeatable fit, perfect for all types of riding. Like all Bataleon boots, it’s designed with Future Flex. From the moment you try on these boots, your feet are comfortably embraced with excellent foot hold and a soft toe box that stretches to fit your feet. The shell is also split into two, providing natural flex when bending your legs (Future Flex). The heel and toe box are reinforced with rubber to protect against impacts and prevent the boot from stretching (TPU). The shell is welded with minimal seams to ensure that snow and water don't get to your feet (Seamless Construction). Inside, there is a Thermal Shield that keeps the warmth inside your boots. Salsa BOA features Dual BOA, allowing you to adjust the pressure on the lower and upper parts of the boot separately to ensure a secure fit without pressure points. Salsa BOA is medium-stiff, offering just the right amount of support and responsiveness, reminding us why we snowboard instead of ski.

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.
External AnkleHarness:
The lacing system for the liner is integrated into a sleeve attached to the outer shell. This ensures a secure fit without pressure points.
