Intuition liners

[khyber.pass]

Huh, we use a 1" board but the heel pocket is fairly extreme on your boots indeed. Looks like your bootfitter uses an oven too and not the new internal blower, and a good dose of heat.

Just making inane observations.

What's neat is to see how much s t r e t c h you can get with Intuitions.

Last year I heavily used my MegaRides, and the OE liners are packed out quite badly now, and they didn't seem very high quality to begin with.

I am going to purchase some Intuition liners, but I get a great deal on the Scarpa branded units, not the Intuition name-only ones.

There are three liners available, one being the orange-toe Precision High Liner, which a wrap liner and is the one out of the Spirit 4, I believe. The next is the Speed Pro, a tongue liner with a green toe, and the last is the Universal, which looks like a "normal" Intuition liner.

Precision High:


Speed Pro:
(sorry, no pic, but it's the liner that comes in the Typhoon)

Universal:


It seems to me that the Typhoon/Speed-Pro is probably the stiffest of the liners, and as my MegaRides are primarily a touring/ski-mountaineering and moderate day-skiing boot, the Precision liner might best suit my needs. Opinions appreciated!

I emailed Intuition and they gave me some basic info on sizing, recommending that I use a 27.0 liner to replace my 26.0 liner in the 26.0/26.5 MegaRide Shell. Interesting. I am loathe to start out too large. The 26.0 Garmont liners were pretty snug to begin with and we cooked them to fit nicely, and they were great for a long time, but now are just plain sloppy. Intuition folks seem to really know their shit, so I'm leaning towards going with the 27.0 liners.

Thanks, again, to Lee for the kick ass OP.

I have 28.0 Intuitions (non-Scarpa branded) in 27.0 Zzeuses. The fit is good. Also, Scarpa sizing is weird (26.5 and 27.0 have the same shell). Finally, Intuitions can fit much more diverse shapes than other moldable liners.

john of genx, I'd get the Precision Highs if you want overlap or the Speed Pro if you want tongue (which I think is basically the Freeride .. ).

I've never had an overlap liner, so I'm not sure how they tour, but I know Lee Lau uses the overlap liner in his MegaRides, and has positive things to say about them for touring, so I might go that route.

Any beta/thoughts on dropping an Intuition liner (like the Power Wrap or Alpine model) into a BD Method? Or Factor?

Overlap liners tour just fine, and they'll also add some stiffness to your Megarides as a bonus. Go for it.

Any reviews or other info on the new lace up Intuition liners?

Anybody have some information or experience of Palaus overlap hard-liners eg http://www.palau-boutique.com/boutiq...lg=lg_us&pag=2 ? I can get Palaus for 85EUR and Intuitions costs about 140EUR so what I get more if I buy Intuitions?

[Shorty_J]

^^^ a better liner.

Do a search, you'll find out why. Or for that matter, just read this whole thread.

Ummm....

All of the Typhoons I have handled had had Alpine Intuition liners in them?

Speed Pro:
(sorry, no pic, but it's the liner that comes in the Typhoon)

HOLY FUCK!

here is a link to it, but this is all I have ever seen:

Anyone know if Intution supplies any boot makers with lace up liners that would be marketed under the boot makers name, such as Dabello or Scarpa?

It looks cool. I even resorted to putting some elastic around the ankle area of my liners to alleviate blisters. Theoretically, that could be perfect.
