HEAD Raptor 40 Junior Alpine Ski Boots

Unleash the future champion in your young skier with the HEAD Raptor 40 junior alpine ski boots. Engineered as the perfect starting point for aspiring racers and ambitious young skiers, these boots are a direct descendant of HEAD´s world-renowned adult Raptor series, scaled perfectly for junior feet. This extreme boot, designed for speed demons, offers an ultimate custom fit and progressive performance, providing the ideal balance of comfort and responsiveness needed to build confidence and master the fundamentals of alpine skiing.

Progressive Performance for Developing Skiers

The Raptor 40 is meticulously crafted to help beginner-intermediate skiers advance their skills. The boot´s design is centered around a progressive flex of 40, which is soft enough for lighter-weight boys to initiate turns correctly, yet supportive enough to provide stability as they start to pick up speed on the slopes. This carefully calibrated flex ensures efficient power transmission from the skier to the ski, teaching them the feeling of proper edge control and carving. The race-inspired geometry puts the young skier in a balanced, athletic stance, promoting correct technique from the very first day and setting them on a path to success.

Unmatched Comfort and Custom Fit

We know that comfort is key to keeping young skiers happy and engaged all day long. The Raptor 40 features a superb Junior Team Liner complete with a self-shaping footbed. This liner naturally conforms to the unique contours of your child´s foot over time, eliminating pressure points and providing a snug, secure fit that enhances both warmth and performance. The boot is built on a junior-specific last, ensuring the anatomical shape is perfectly suited for youth measures, rather than just being a scaled-down adult boot. Three durable, low-profile synthetic buckles make it easy for kids to manage their own boots while providing secure and reliable closure for optimal foot hold.
