“I bought the gara lv and put them in a Lange 130 rs lv shell. I heated them up with a hair dryer and went skiing. There were a couple of hot spots but now they feel really comfortable after about six days of skiing. What they say about heel and ankle hold is true. I'm getting used to putting the liner on first and then stepping into the shell. They are also definitely warmer than the stock liners.”

“Today was Day 3 with my Gara LV liners and I have never been happier in a ski boot. Locked in, comfortable, and a feeling of total control that was lacking from my life. If you’re on the fence, buy them now!”

“Holy Moly...Bingo..I have a LV Tecnica Mach-1-130 with a LV Gara now. It's a great fit. The liner and boot seemed to flex closely the same too.. I had to learn a few trick for getting my boots on and off but its worth it. Took me about 2 days of tweaking buckles and the liner cork but I am a weenie about that stuff. I been Skiing on WC SL's /155cm for years. I enjoy fast short turns. We call them "Krank" "Now its "zip Krank plus". Working hard to find a real zen of boot force too (pressure I push into the boot). I alway finding a bit of air between each turn as the tail ejects me into the next turn slamming down the shovel down hard. The other day I was on some of that East-coast..you know that machined bullet poof, cordory that was frozen solid by the late night -11 temp... with a bit of wind pack velvet on it. Makes a crazy deep pitch noise when you Krank over it. I was in a 102 / 180cm softer fatter than usual SL ski and I found I just needed a little tiny touch with my boot force... that 102 was skirm like a snake. Holy Moly....its a double wow.. absolutely amazed...I know it's not me or the skis. I Like Gara with short stiff or longer soft skis. My advice is find a real boot fitter to help you... Whoever designed this product is a great engineer...its works well but my fitter was key..every time I get them on I say.. Wow...I can't get over the fit but the performance is like this: Effort always equals accomplishment and the key is the right gear. Thanks ZipFit...I owe you one.”

“First time I ever noticed a performance benefit from an inner boot. But what am I supposed to do with all the extra string?”

“These liners are absolute game changers. Bought them online and followed directions to heat mold. Easy to do. I didn't realize initially they are designed to be put on outside the boot, then stepping in after. I have extremely tight fitting boots (Nordica Pro Machines) and being able to "cinch up' and step in virtually eliminated the pain I previously experienced getting in and out with the stock liners inside. They ski incredibly well, the fit is snug with lots of room in the toe box. I am completely sold on these liners. Worth every penny.”

“Absolute game changer. Increase your comfort so you can go longer and harder on the mountain. Built to last. If you’re not skiing with zip fits, you’re not skiing to your full ability.”

“The performance jump from a stock liner is incredible. I sized down with a new boot purchase and used these as my inner boot from day one. No break in period, no pain, just the best skiing boot I've every used.”

This is what is up! Thanks for sharing. We'll gladdened by your success with the Gara LV. For most skiers, there is a couple day break in period but it sounds like you found the sweet spot with your new shells and ZipFits.
