Description
- Advanced fit system and lace storage: The Espresso features a rear cuff pocket constructed of two-directional stretch Kevlar. Included with the liner is a HDPE foam volume reducer (best inserted when the liner is off the foot). The rear liner loop pulls down to open the pocket and the HDPE shim will form to the shape of your leg. Keeping the volume reducer contained within the liner eliminates any interference between spoilers attached to the back of a liner and a walk mechanism.
When lacing up the Espresso, stow the excess lace in the Kevlar cuff pocket. - Quick drying and comfortable fit: The Espresso toe box is constructed of Flexalon, which heat molds to the shape of your feet but also provides stretch to accommodate the width of your feet. ZipFit have proven that a stretchy toe box alleviates pressure on the first and fifth met-heads when skiers buckle down their boots.
Flexalon is fast drying so for skiers winter camping or on expedition, the liners will dry out in your sleeping bag overnight. - Cause your legs are different: The ZipFit tongue is built to reflect the asymmetry in the shape of the lower leg, with more padding on the medial side along the tibia and less padding on the lateral muscle of the shin. The pull tab should be centered on the leg for the tongue to be in the proper position.
- Customize your fit where it matters: Three cork pouches in each liner (located behind the top of the tongue and on either side of the instep) allow you to adjust the cork fill to dial in your perfect fit.
OMFit cork composite is the “active ingredient” in ZipFits, both because it remains dynamic and because it is the ingredient that heals the ailment of bad ski boot liners. It doesn’t compress or pack out, it does move around so you can add more if needed. - Abrasion resistant face fabric that holds up: The Espresso is constructed with a lycra stone face fabric on the exterior of the Ultralon foam to prevent abrasion and wear in a high friction environment like a touring boot.
- Front articulation points and rear flex panel for uphill ease: Fore/aft flex is about promoting natural movement forward and backwards so that the liner/shell combo doesn’t limit a skiers range of motion. A rear flex panel and front articulation points promote natural flexion while ascending but don’t compromise power transfer on the descents.
