Does rocker supersede the need for a soft uniform flex pattern ? Nice objective review of a very good addition to any quiver. One of the items omitted from the review is the impact of skins v scales on the group dynamics.

It is a labor of love, but love don't pay the bills. Often translated as no thing, Pirsig offers a handier alternate of unask the question.. The fish scale climbing pattern of the Voile UltraVector BC offers a mu response to the Up or Down? dilemma of ski touring. I have talked to people and have read as well. I have Karhu GTs which I do not like because the camber makes the tips dive in deep snow, where they can usually find a branch to slide under, resulting in sudden stops and annoying face plants. [] is over 25 degrees in steepness when you Crispi NTN duckbutts come up short! Theres not enough room here to catalogue all the benefits of FF skis. I followed a couple wearing these up Mt. gearjunkie continent Deep, fresh powder proved to be challenging as well, making for a steeper effective angle of attack while breaking trail.

The aspen wood core reinforced with carbon fiber make the BC UltraCapable on varied snow. FF skis can allow one to access alternative descent lines that would require booting or skinning on smooth base skis. I haven't tried them out because there is no snow! Plenty of width to handle the powder, especially given its early tip rocker, which also allows you to do more than just survive the inevitable breakable crust. //-->. (2.9 kg)/pair IME, those who criticize fat fishscale (FF) skis have little or no time on them. And nonsense that you cant wax them! They seem great but in certain conditions this happened to me twice in the season I had them in the PNW, where snow stuck to the fish scales so badly, I had to etch it off with my ice axe which took almost half an hour. For a long distance cross-country tour these are too big, but for a short cruise in the local woods and hills, or a full day farming turns, theyre perfect. The climbing pattern base has a long-running niche in the ski industry as an experiment that never really caught on widely, but never went away either. Like anything, they are not perfect as the article and some comments suggest. This is often perfect those who enjoy hut trips where getting to and enjoying the hut and touring around outside without entering into the sketchiness of avalanche terrain and steep terrain. A very deep quiver. They provided me with great memories touring for 10 years with a wonderful husky who gave me extra oomph when harnessed for long approaches & returns on discovery missions to steeper terrain.

[] il link a un altro test dei Vector che ho trovato Review: Voile Vector BC | EarnYourTurns Rispondi citando Registrati allo skiforum per accedere a [], [] pushed the envelope of what constitutes too much waxless pattern on a metal edged ski with their Vector BC. You can find the write up on that ski under Gear>Skis>Waxless. @2020 - All Rights Reserved.

There's a lot of patterned surface area on the Vector BC allowing 15 ascent angle in many conditions. Also great for cross country skier looking to get into the AT world while enjoying similar tours. No doubt you are correct. The UltraVector BC does not eliminate the need to carry skins into the backcountry, but once at the apex, skiers can expect downhill turning akin to the original UltraVector on steeper slopes and get a buzz (hear a hum) on lesser slopes. Being able to transition faster simply means I have extra time to hydrate, snack, or relaxbut it wont save time overall on the tour.

Cool! Only downside is that they are obviously slower on the run outs however since these will be almost exclusively used in the BC, not really a downside.
