The Gist
The Vector Evo 110 W combines a silky interior feel with a silky on-snow demeanor. It’s a well-balanced comfort and performance package that will work for a wide variety of skiers looking for a medium width boot.
Fit
Dead-even medium fit tension scores throughout the lower boot and upper cuff with the exception of the heel pocket. Several testers mentioned it felt a little looser than it should.
It also had a touch more room at the calf as well (a good thing there, testers said). The liner is exceedingly cushioned and has a smooth, slippery feel that most testers liked. Some felt their foot sliding around a bit while skiing. Team with a grippier sock material.
Performance
Testers said the boot felt a little softer than billed. Note that the flex adjustment comes set at the softer 100 flex out of the box. If more resistance is preferred, it’s easy to make the adjustment in shop during try-on.
Most testers felt the cuff angle was quite upright. They liked that fairly straight stance angle for long swooping carves and softer off-piste conditions but some yearned to be a little more forward to speed up the turn intervals on firmer snow. Testers liked that they didn't have to unbuckle at any time; it’s ultra-comfortable, they said.
Cool Features
The Form Fit shell and Perfect Fit liner work as a team to match the foot shape. They also mate well, marrying the exterior of the liner to the interior of the shell for a more secure translation of foot movements to ski. Testers said out-of-the-box fit is so comfortable it requires a pretty thick foot to need shell molding. Most testers found the Spine Tech buckles cumbersome to fiddle with.
