Bataleon Rave Womens Boots 25/26 – First Look

All-mountain comfort, dialed for style.

The 2025/26 Rave Women’s boots from Bataleon are made for riders who want comfort and control without compromise. With a Dual BOA® system for easy fit adjustment and a liner that molds to your feet, they deliver a snug, custom feel from first chair to last. The outsole grips when hiking or boot-packing, and the flex balances support with comfort so you can carve, cruise, or hit side-hits with ease. Whether you’re hitting groomers, chatting through trees, or just riding it out, the Rave keeps things smooth and fun.

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.
