With upgraded fit and functionality comes progression, and that’s precisely what we had in mind when we designed the K2 Raider snowboard boot.
A long-time favorite of resort employees and progressing snowboarders alike, we packed all of the essentials into the mix on the Raider, starting with an H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System. This securely closes the shell using a stainless steel BOA® lace for the perfect fit and helps to effortlessly get you in and out of your boots at the beginning and end of the day.
Next, we added Fast-In liner lacing to maximize fit and keep the liner snug against the contours of your feet. No matter the shape of your foot, the ultra-warm, heat-moldable, and breathable Intuition® Comfort Foam 3D liner hugs every nook and cranny for a great fit right out of the box. We added internal and external j-bars to the liner to increase responsiveness when turning, wrapping your ankles with support and cushion, and added an EVA footbed for comfort.
We built the whole thing on a grippy, lightweight rubber outsole for hiking and exploring new terrain and filled the midsole with our proprietary Harshmellow™ foam, helping to increase impact absorption and help dampen vibration underfoot.
