It is the perfect riding hoodie. It has a wind stopping liner, but they are smart enough to put little breathe holes in the right spots. Zipper front pocket and an rfid pocket. Well worth the price
My battalion Carver is a screamer of a carving board. It wants to go fast and turn hard.. It holds a great edge and the 3BT allows you to get from edge to edge quicker.. even as wide as it is it is super nimble. This board is not for the faint of heart and you need to know that it is going to be aggressive in all honesty nothing against the board, but it’s a little too aggressive for me.. but as far as quality goes, I’ve been snowboarding for 27 years. Started when I was 10 years old., and as far of the quality of construction of this board, it is solid, well built and utilizes excellent materials. If you want to go fast and leave trenches, this is it right here but if you want to be more laid-back, I would suggest going for the party wave.
Honestly, I love the way these feel. They have just enough room for my size 13 boots. I've used them on stomper, evil twin, and a haldor pro without issue. Easy to adjust, and comfortable for the full day. My only issue has been the toe strap creeps up. It doesn't quite grip the toe like my nidecker or rodeos do. It's minor though. Just crank it a little harder.
Top sheet and laminate cracking after two days of use top sheet cracking on all edges policy offered me a discount very disappointed i am switching to soloman
I’ve been pushing my 2012 Evil Twin Artist Edition as an all mountain (groomed), buttery, high speed, trick machine year after year. I keep waiting for it to not live up to my expectations, but it keeps performing like no other board I’ve owned. (Sadly/Happily) With over 30 years of aggressive riding, my bag of tricks is now definitely smaller, my knees and back less able to take a spill and shrug it off, but this board still gives me confidence to do whatever I want!
Killer!
Decided it was time to retire my previous board after 12 years of service and had always been curious about Bataleon and the Triple Base Tech. I was sceptical but wanted to try something new, and after doing some research and watching some convincing Angry Snowboarder and Whitelines reviews I landed on the Beyond Medals 158W. I’m 6.ft , 195lbs, size US 11 boots . Glad I pulled the trigger , it fits my riding style perfectly and absolutely rips. Great for riding the entire mountain and does not disappoint in the deep pow , it’s almost too easy! I’m definitely a TBT convert. Service and delivery was also great, board arrived timely and in perfect condition. Great board, get one
This board is awesome for everything. Groundtricks, jumps, even carving is possible :D Board is very responsive and forgiving faults due to its 3d shape. I'm very suprised how easy is to make tricks and even making some faults the board doesn't make you fall. Also the weight of the board is very suprising. I've taken 138cm and don't feel the board totally.
I recommend this board if you search for fun and lightness. Also delivery was very fast, ordered on Tuesday came to me on Friday to have fun on slope on
It is perfect riding hoodie, waterproof windproof, wore it on a cold day with a light puffer vest underneath with base layers and was warm ion below zero windy conditions at big sky, must buy!
I've been able to only ride them once so far, but they felt excellent on the board I just purchased as well. They feel, more stable than my previous bindings and I'm enjoying them a lot.
Took a little getting used to as it is much flexier and smaller than my old board but it is so so much fun and has really helped my confidence and skill in the park especially. There are times when I feel the board catch me when I think I should have fallen! The cambered profile really helps when making carved turns. The nimbleness really helps when teaching lessons and needing to manoeuvre quickly around students. I am super excited for some fresh snow so I can see how it behaves in powder. I prefer this to my old board in basically every way (except for very icy conditions in which something stiffer and larger might be a better fit).This board is super playful and makes being on the mountain really fun. So happy with my purchase
I had to get these as a replacement for my Bataleon Astro because one of the small hooks on the footbed cracked after 3 days in the mountain. Despite that, Bataleon's support was very quick in providing a replacement, considering the holiday season, so I am very happy with it. Only down side is that there is only one color available for the replacement and that is different from the originals in the binding.
My previous Bataleon Evil twin from november 2022 had delaminated under the back binding and was out of warranty for 1 month. I wrote to their customer services to see if anything could be done . They told me that they will replace it for free. I kindly thank Bataleon for that replacement. I’m continuing having fun on that board.
Picked this up as a replacement to my 157 whatever,
was a little worried about going to a 151, but so far it has been great!
Its fun on groomers, floaty in that pow stuff & nimble in the woods on the way to grandma's place for some adult hot coco!
Pretty good flex for butters especially on the nose, I'm still getting used to the shorter length in the tail.
I will for sure be coming back for more in the future!!
Really snug fit, I bought an L for my 159 Goliath
Fits nice and the board is protected all around
Amazing fit.. super responsive whether in the deep pow og blazing down the slopes.
I have been on Union bindings for years. since I got a Bataleon board I thought I would get he bindings too. Wow! they are so solid in a lot of ways. 1st the padding. most have the foot bed padding now, but the material they use is way nicer than others. and the padding under the binding where it meets the board is like running shoe Boost material. so much dampening! bombing crapt-out groomers feels that much better! I didn't expect that. and landing out in the flats!
the straps and buckles are super nice. I mean everything feels like an upgrade.
I am sorry Union......iI'm done
Bataleon out did you.
These bindings r nice and snug, don’t loosen up and r extremely responsive!
Its a bread and butter having 10 Bataleons in the fleet. Works well, loved the ease of purchase and fast delivery.
Horrible experience.
2 weeks waiting to get a board.
They say on their website they ship trough ups or fedex within canada. Even when I ask them before .
They ship it trough Canpar what is a total Sh**
Costumer service is horrible they dont reply emails or give any solution.
Amazing board. I ride very aggressively and this board keeps up no problem. Does amazing on ice, thin coverage, and powder. The raised edges on the nose and tail definitely help with carving and not catching edges.
