With upgraded fit and functionality comes progression, and that’s precisely what K2 had in mind when designing the K2 Raider snowboard boot. A long-time favorite of resort employees and progressing snowboarders alike, K2 packed all the essentials into the mix in 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.
Construction
- H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System - Impact resistant, durable, and performance-driven, the H4 BOA® Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot.
- Flex Zone Upper - A small flexible notch at the boot's instep allows for a smooth forward flex with minimal shell distortion.
- Intuition® Comfort Foam 3D Liner - Heat moldable and constructed with softer Intuition® foam Zonaling on all-day comfort and long-lasting wear.
- 3-Point Harness Liner Lacing - A traditional liner harness with a pull lace and three contact points hugs the ankle and provides additional support.
- Harshmellow™ Insole - Freestyle-friendly single-density insole using Harshmellow™ from toe to heel for ultimate impact absorption.
- Rollsole™ Outsole - The RollSole™ Outsole aims at providing additional range of motion without sacrificing grip or support. This outsole keeps theoverall weight of the boot down while offering extra mobility from side to side
