La Sportiva Vapor Nano Ski - Men's

The Vapor Nano Ski from La Sportiva is the newest incarnation of skis that are blurring the lines between uphill and downhill. With tip rocker, tail rocker, and traditional camber underfoot, these lightweight skis can ski anything from deep powder to mank with ease. Where they really shine, however, is on the uphill. Carbon nano-tubes make up the laminate layers that are placed over a Kevlar weave composite, and reinforced with carbon fiber plates for added torsional rigidity. These days, just because a ski is light, it doesn't mean that it can't ski hard on the downhill, and these are a perfect example of that new standard. To make touring easy, La Sportiva added tip and tail skin attachment holes that are compatible with La Sportiva's proprietary, pre-cut skins.

  • Tip and tail rocker, camber underfoot
  • Carbon Torsion Box (cap construction)
  • Kevlar Weave and paulownia core
  • Prepreg carbon nanotube laminate layers
  • Carbon fiber reinforcement plates
  • 103mm underfoot width
  • Traditional sidecut 130/103/120mm
  • 5lbs 5oz per pair (180cm length)
  • Tip and tail skin attachment holes
  • Flat, notched tail
  • Compatible with La Sportiva HiGlide Vapor Nano skins

    Dynafit PDG 2 Alpine Touring Boot - Men's

    Weighing less than two pounds, the Dynafit PDG 2 Alpine Touring Boot is certainly an ultralight choice for ski racers and the rando crowd. The PDG 2 maintains a phenomenally light weight with a carbon cuff and a thin spoiler and shell composed of Grilamid. Making up for stiffness, Dynafit inserted a Driving Spoiler 2.0 that locks the carbon cuff, shell, and spoiler together for a surprisingly stiff ride downhill. The Driving Spoiler 2.0 lifts away from the cuff, shell, and spoler when you engage the boot's walk mode through Dynafit's innovative Ultralock 1.0 Closure System.

    The Ultralock 1.0 Closure System engages the boot's walk mode and secure closure with a single, solitary buckle. This single buckle keeps the boot's weight down with a streamlined style and fewer straps and buckles that inevitably end up keeping boots together in the flimsiest way. The boot also boasts a thermo moldable liner for a customized fit that ensures proper thermal retention. Underfoot, the PDG 2 features a Pomoca Climb sole that ensures traction for the ascent, on rock, ice, or snow. Dynafit positioned the tech inserts closer to the boot's toe to promote an easier step-in and a speedier stride.

  • Ultralight boot built for ski racing and mountaineering
  • Carbon cuff keeps the weight down and the flex stiff
  • Driving Spoiler 2.0 locks the cuff down for a stiff downhill
  • Ultralock 1.0 engages the walk mode and closure with one buckle

And my kind of skier the year last year unofficially hit the test it hasn't changed this year in terms of the actual geometry and materials it's just a cosmetic change it's still my ski review and create this on it's just so good 95 underfoot doesn't ski like it. Extremely versatile it is designed to be an all-mountain back country towing. Scheme officially it's a nice. Binding the ski is not the lightest touring ski out there but it's the most planted by miles this and the super got 88 my other ski which i do have paired of our so planted you can use it all day the front side ski and then go out the. Backcountry it's light enough to do that it runs at about the 1314 hundred grand. Mark the light is towing ski to be about 1,100 the heaviest about 1600 the 1100. Skis 500 gram skis to me are two skitty this ski just feels like a normal ski that's light enough to tour on reason for that is you obviously 95 underfoot you've got the sort of the overlay. Sidewalls here so the roundest sidewalls just from the ski by scott on the ski by. Scott I'm not a huge fan ski and i don't feel they had that much in terms of. The performance of ski on this he really does twice all the power to the edges, so he puts a wide ski got loads of turn and. Hook hold on that's nice and smooth on a turn nice rocker here flat tail did you. No shape but it has a little bit of flick rock on there and you've got your specialist done sort skin connections. Right here which some jade consuming on we do the skins for those or you can just run a normal skill I'm gonna get coal mine the glue this because i love blue love skins and it fits just fine and centers on that very nicely always niceness a little bit of a point there for the skins you can monitor any touring binding I've run it mines with a kingpin it's got a tittle plate underneath to give it a rock-solid um sort of adhesion when you've been screwed in but also for torsional rigidity when you're turning and you also have 3d side cut so i can't give you the turn radius on this its variable push it down hard the side cut shortens. But let it go you've got 25 meter turns radius it's super smooth super versatile to finish off with and another zoom opportunity here you got the carbon arrow me to cross fibers here what that does is give the ski torsional rigidity and reduces the weight they can run a lightweight wood core paulínia and lights off the wood core but these tri-axial fibers here keep the skin nice and stiff so as i said it's still my ski of the year i love the colorway this year and yet in wax blue so I've got have a pair of these this ski he's going bucket around right behind james in the camera there right now this is the super guard 95 2017.

    La Sportiva Vapor Svelte Ski - Men's

    You can't help the fact that the harder the line is to ski, the more you want to ski it. Luckily, the La Sportiva Vapor Svelte Ski shares your affliction with a lightweight construction that likes to travel long distances and up big, intimidating mountains with aplomb. Now, we know what you're thinking—a lot of skis are getting thrown in the lightweight class these days, but we assure you, that with a weight of just 5lb 3oz (1175g) in a 188cm length, the Vapor Svelte Skis truly belong in the lightweight class.

    Sitting at a versatile 96mm underfoot, the Vapor Svelte will make the most of the variable conditions you'll encounter above treeline, along with enough tip and tail width to float the occasional powder and a narrow enough waist to easily hold an edge on the hardpack. A slightly rockered tip and tail let you make tight turns down pinner couloirs and navigate narrow chokes through the crux of your line. When you make your exit and loosen those turns up down the apron, you will be able to arc turns with confidence thanks to plenty of camber underfoot.

    The construction of the Vapor Svelte consists of what La Sportiva calls Carbon Torsion Box construction. The layup is made up of a Kevlar weave composite core with prepreg resin matrix reinforced with carbon nanotubes, the result of which makes the ski both ridiculously lightweight and torsionally stiff. The other major benefit to this construction is that the ski will last much longer than a traditional wood core ski, while maintaining the same snappy feel throughout the ski's life. Since this ski is built to ride lines where conditions will be, well, less than ideal, La Sportiva went ahead and put a burly P-Tex 6000 base to resist core shots and a wide 2.2mm steel edge to the put the handle on chunks of ice and the occasional rock.

  • A svelte backcountry ski that feels lighter than vapor
  • Versatile 96mm waist excels on firm and soft snow
  • Rocker tip and tail play in powder with a surfy feel
  • Camber underfoot holds an edge on variable, icier snow

  • I'm randi and this is doug we're the. Owners of cripple creek backcountry, and we are here today talking about the mas. Pratibha vapor smell yeah this favorites felt was new for this fall the fall of. 2015 and it actually had an early. Release in the spring, so we got our hands on a couple pairs ahead of time. And randy had a chance to get on there what'd you think i really enjoyed this ski i think that it's really similar to the vapor nano the this ski is just a. Little narrower waisted ski than the vapor nano so this is 96 underfoot the. Nano comes in at 103 underfoot and i. Think you and i have talked a lot about this that this is the ideal waisted ski for kind of an everyday touring ski go. Ahead yep well it a lot it will float decently in. Powder it's not as wide as some of the skis out there but what you get for lower waist is you get a ski that's really maneuverable and will do pretty well edge to edge and a hard pack as well yeah and you know the main the. Main point here with the vapor nano is. That it's laid up with carbon nanotubes so this is a new technology that sportive has developed which brings this. Ski in at 1165 grams for one's the night. Which is yeah almost 40% lighter than. Any other ski in its class so if you're. Looking for and all-around lightweight back country touring ski sport eva's favor spell has every other ski in this. Class beat yeah made right here in the united states and the secret location see yeah top secret location they are made here in the us yeah and what are. You tell me about the construction of the ski how is it laid out so that it's a carbon prep reg construction and then. The nanotubes they're actually almost painted on in layers so it's a pretty. Involved process it's really exciting new technology from sports eva you know in their initial run of the. Na nos they had a little bit to figure out but it's clear you know now that the. Quality is there and getting out and skiing on the spells yeah so it comes in. 1199 what links is it come in and then. It comes in a 168 178 and a 188 and if. You were gonna buy the ski doug what likely to go with i probably ski it in the 178 length right here it's about as tall as i am about by 10 you know we were talking about the their early rise technology in. There which is gonna make the ski a little bit shorter but it'll also keep you up on top of the snow which is one of the big reasons to usually go longer so i want to go any longer to 178 yep i. And i think that looks like the perfect ski for you i can't wait let's bring on. The snow.
