HyperVector BC Skis

Overview

When heading deep into winter wilderness, you must choose your tools wisely—versatility is key: and the Voile HyperVector BC has that in spades. Can it do everything the HyperVector can, like climb and descend steep terrain, float through powder and carve hard pack? It sure can, but also it provides a clear answer to the dilemma when faced with terrain that is neither up nor down. No longer do you have to vacillate between stopping and putting your skins on or attempting, energy sapping, side-stepping/ herringbone technique to get over a short climb or flat section—you just kick-and-glide your way past the obstacles. The traction pattern on the Voile HyperVector BC doesn't replace your skins entirely; it just gives you another —very efficient— option when faced with gentle climbs, rolling terrain, long traverses and meadows. Sure, you may feel a little drag on some descents. But, the versatility you get from a pair of skis that weight less than 6lbs (≤177cm)— you'll be kicking yourself for not trying them sooner.

ATTENTION: These skis are intended to be used with AT bindings. Voile HyperVector BC Skis mounted with telemark bindings or quiver killers are not covered under Voile factory warranty.

Features

• Anti-Ice Topsheet: Exceptionally durable polyamide, with an irregular texture that shows the accumulation of snow and allows easy removal of snow and ice build-up when the approach is long and/or conditions are freezing.
• Reinforced Binding Mounts: Heel and toe mountian areas are double-reinforces to prevent binding pull out.
• Laminated Paulownia Wood Core: The lightest wood core offered in Voile's line, with an impressive strength ot weight ratio. Paulowia provides the ideal foundation for building a lightweight touring ski.
• Voile Carbon-Weave: Two layers of Voile's proprietary carbon fiberglass regular the ski's flex without an impact on bonding strength.
• Rubber Foil
• Full-Perimeter Steel Edge: Two lengths of 2mm steel with inset teeth wrap the full preimeter of the ski. Each section meets at the outermost points of the tip and tail, and is painstakingly hand-bent to ensure a precise layup.
• Traction Pattern Base: For the backcountry skier who must continually make long approaches over rolling terrain, Sharpscale traction base is a godsens. It may sap a little of the ski's downhill speed, but negotiating far fewer skin transitions may be worth it.
