Bataleon Rave Mens Boots 25/26 – First Look

Comfort meets performance for all-day riding.

The 2025/26 Bataleon Rave Men’s boots are built for riders who want a boot that supports everything—from cruisers and side-hits to all-mountain laps. With a Dual BOA® fit system and a heat-moldable liner, they deliver a snug, tailored feel without the fuss. The outsole offers reliable grip when you’re boot-packing or walking snow-covered terrain, and the flex strikes a smart balance between support and freedom. Whether you’re carving groomers or switching directions, the Rave keeps things smooth and comfortable all day long.

The Snowboard International First Thoughts are back for another season of in-depth gear reviews, giving you the lowdown on the best snowboard gear for winter 25/26. This time around, the team spent two weeks up in Åre, Sweden, putting the latest kit to the test: five riders, three videographers, and one epic resort.
