2026 Men's K2 Raider BOA Snowboard Boots - KB251296

Product Features

With upgraded fit and functionality comes progression, and that’s precisely what K2 had in mind when they designed 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 TX3 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, They 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.

K2 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.

K2 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.

Features

LACING

H4 COILER BOA® FIT SYSTEM WITH TX3 LACING

• A cable and reel based lacing system that creates even tension and easy lacing operation. This system features low friction guides for even tightening.

• TX3 is constructed from recycled PET with a structural core.

• This lace provices a softer, more flexible look similar to the characteristics of a traditional lace but the superior closure of a BOA® system.

TX3 BOA® LACING

• A softer lace explicitly made for snowboard boots that provides a more even fit over the body of the boot shell versus a steel lace.

LINER

INTUITION® COMFORT FOAM 3D LINER

• Heat-moldable and constructed with softer Intuition® foam focusing on all-day comfort and long-lasting wear.

INTERNAL & EXTERNAL J-BARS

• Adding J-Bars to a liner helps add structure and reduce heel lift.

3-POINT HARNESS LINER LACING

• A traditional liner harness with a pull lace and three contact points hugs the ankle to provide additional support and unrivaled stability to help reduce fatigue.

Pros of BOA® Lacing

• It is easy to fine-tune tightness with micro-adjustments
• Pop out the coiler for quick and easy comfort on the lift or during après
• All boot adjustments can be made while wearing gloves/mittens
• A single-coiler system tightens and loosens evenly across the entire foot

Cons of BOA® Lacing

• The coiler interface may take a couple of uses before it feels intuitive
• It can be easy to over-tighten with BOA® and cause foot fatigue
• A single-coiler system does not allow for independent tightness of the upper and lower zones
• The BOA® coiler sticks off the boot and can get caught on things
• Replacing a broken coiler or cable requires additional parts and can be complicated
• BOA® lacing snowboard boots are generally more expensive
