Doesn't even include liners! Overpriced but I guess that's inflation and supply chain stuff

[Boreas]

No knee pads, clearly not a ripper.

[chicken feathers]

On a separate note, 10 year old T2s and the liners are finally shot. New liners are not real cheap and new Eco T2s are only 450 bucks at this point in season. Any suggestions, new boots or new liners? Like the new colors.

I've seen Scarpa Intuition liners on Sierra trading in the recent past for cheap...like $40 IIRC. I think they are usually out of Gea and/or Maestrale. Could be an option*.
Or just get new ones and be set for another 10 years. Pass the old ones on or keep as backup.

If only they would bend a knee more often.

Chair 6, thanks for the suggestion on liners.

[PB]

Wait ...... 10 years on a LINER?!!??!? All you do is drive in your ski boots, correct? With normal use a BOOT won't last 10 years, let alone a liner.


And nice one, Whipski. Excellent form.

[Fenris]

I had a pair of BD Pushes that went about 10 years with their original liner. And a few of those years I was working in them. They are still working well enough to keep around as backups and loaners.

YMMV I have a set of pwer wraps I bought for the Mercury and then I had to remold them smaller to fit in a Vulcan, the linr is 10 yrs old,

also some Orange ID pwrwrap liners in Dalbellos that are 12 yrs old, but then I got small feet and i'm not hard on foot wear

I asked buddy at the intuition factory outlet about the Scarpa liners, he sez they don't have quite the same construction of foam but it sounded pretty close

normal is just a setting on the dryer

I’m easy on foot wear and managed to miss the last 5 winters. Boots themselves are still good.

Yeah, I should have confined my comments to personal experience and I’m definitely not normal. 3-5 years for boots for me, liners 1-2 years; been experimenting with liners though, tended to accelerate liner turn over.

yeah the mercury's were always a pretty tight shell fit and a pretty tight mold which was OK but after upgrading to Vulcans which should be exactly the same shell I found out in reality Vulcan were VERY slightly less volume to the point I got a remold on the way thru Vangroovy from niseko, so that was probably part of why the liners lasted so long ... a tight fit to begin with

pretty sure that this set up will not see much use in the future.

Ha, so you hate the bindings so much basically paying someone to take them? :-). Or just don't want to remove them?

I seem to be in the minority, but have always liked releasable...started with the voile (not these, ones with plates) and still run the 7tms.

[XXX-er]

NO body likes 7TM cuz they want a more active binding but they ski OK to me so I still have a set, by kicking out and leaving the plate on the boot its like having step-in tele-binding

[Danno]

3 pin hardwires are great bindings!

Not gonna lie, I bought a new pair last season. And a pair of 3 pin cables too.
After a decade seeking out stiffer and more active setups I did a 180 and went back to T2's and soft bindings. Just wanted to match the conditions I like to tele in.
Horses for courses I suppose.

Are those voile bindings?

If they are the ones I think they are they were awful 35 years ago
