I bought two of these to strap gear to my bike’s back rack, replacing two of the regular heavy duty straps. These work marvelously well - the hooks are strong and sure and the adjustment of the strap length is day and quick. Great product.

So far so good. Yes, runs a size large or almost. Used twice on 5 mile moderate xc tours. Pretty good stiffness for control. (Better than Alpina boots). Using cable bindings. I'm having a bit of trouble with the tongue which doesn't lie flat but curls, seems it's too bulky. Probably these are stiffest I can find without resorting to the molded plastic tele boots. These aren't very warm.

The heel lever broke after about 20 years mounted on two different pairs of skis and was momentarily bummed. But then I thought, Voile can probably sell me the part. Sure enough, I can just fix tiny myself. What makes me happiest is, I had my daughter out on telemark skis for the first time thanks to this eternal, high-quality gear.

I have had these great Switch-Back Tele bindings since around 2009 and love them. A heel lever snapped last year. It was super easy to order 2 more levers that actually appear to be more beefy than the originals. I am looking forward to hitting the slopes soon. They arrived fast and were affordable.

Been really psyched on these skis. The sidewall adds a whole new dimension to this proven shape. Smooth flex and progressive flex paired with the perfect amount of camber. I have been skiing this ski in the resort and am blown away by its performance. I can push and load the skier harder than the regular Vector and it chatters less and holds an edge better. Highly recommend.

As a skier and ski patroller Voile Straps/Heli Straps/ ski straps are one of the most used pieces of kit I own. They are infinitely useful not just for holding skis together but for all kinds of gear, repairs, medical splints, and emergencies. Voile makes the best. I prefer metal buckles as they are lower profile and work more smoothly. But you literally cannot have enough of these!

Stable at speed in firm and crusty snow, lightweight, scales super useful for resort side country access (you do sacrifice some downhill speed on flat groomed terrain when not on your edges), tele binding approved, best skis I’ve ever owned.

I bought this ski with the intention of using in more rolling terrain. For this use, the Hyper V6 BC excels. What I like includes: good uphill ability without skins but skins are required for steeper or gnarly up hill travel; great fore/aft balance while climbing; good edge control while climbing on sidehills; faster on fish scales than on skins; decent response and control for DH on hardpack or wind blown snow; responsive in trees on hard snow and skis well in shallow powder. I haven't had the chance to ski these in powder. What I found annoying: the skis (fish scales) are LOUD with DH hard snow but not so much on powder (makes sense); DH is slower than skis without scales so the glide on relative flats is reduced; and you can't ski backwards, even a little, which can complicate maneuvering in some situations. The annoying issues for the Hyper V6 are the trade-offs of using a fish scale ski. But they sure are convenient in undulating terrain. Due to lightness of the skis and my boots (Scarpa F1 XT), the skis have a speed limit but they do OK at moderate and slow speed. I'm on a 178 length and I weigh about 165. I will probably use my QST Echo 106 and heavier boots when the day's objective is doing turns in terrain that is not undulating; however, I could have fun on these conditions with the V6.

The skin material on this is great. Super glidey, that might mean they are less grippy but I wouldn't know as I'm only skiing low angle slopes. I like that the skin is all one width. It makes folding them up easier and putting them on easier because I don't have to line it up perfectly to avoid the edges on the entire ski. The elastic tip attachment was a bad idea. The skin always sits low on the ski when the elastic is adequately tensioned, as you can see in the product photo. Because the black attachment point between the skin and elastic creates a small gap and the skin sits almost below the tip rocker of the ski, you are constantly forcing snow into that gap. Every time I take the skin off, I have a bunch of snow and frost on the tip of the skin. If you try and move the skin further up the ski, the elastic won't be fully tensioned and will pop out often. Even with the elastic full tensioned, it still pops off occasionally. I don't see any reason why the tip plug should be elastic when the tail is adjustable and has a little stretch. Dynafit has it right with their tip plugs. Voile should do something like that. I personally find it easier to pull skins from the tail and plan on adding a tip bracket. The tail has enough adjustment to accommodate that. Overall this is a 5/5 skin with a 2/5 attachment.

Unboxed, and set it up in minutes. Fits perfectly, and could be happier with the performance.

I have used BD sinks in the past and like these Voile skins more. Good grip, good glue, light weight. Only con is the tail clip slips off the back of my skis (using these skins on Armada JJ's) that do not have a notch for the skin tail clip.

Love these straps for strapping my skies together getting to and from the lift and for hike-up/out. 15” length works well for just skis; 21 might be better if you’re trying to strap skies and poles. Depending on your bindings that can usually be done with a single strap. Which brings up the only bad thing I could say about these: they’re easy to loose. Buy extras and may I suggest a nice bright color that will stand out on snow and in dark corners! I think I like the plastic buckle better than the metal, but they both work great.

I was recently gifted a Salomon split board/skins without bindings. I had a couple pairs of old snowboard bindings lying around, so I bought this kit because I can’t afford to buy splitboard specific bindings and pucks right now. They worked great! I found a YouTube video to watch for installation.

Preface - I won't use the words "snappy" or "playful" in this review. I've been looking for a lighter ski for my back country tours, but nervous about sacrificing stability for lightness. After months of research and a call w/ Aidan, he convinced me that the Charger Ace would not disappoint. Aidan was right, the Charger Aces have been on about six ski tours and the [lack of] weight is noticeable. On the downhill there's no chatter on the harder stuff or instability in the powder. I have the 171cm w/ 104mm waist and Meidjo 3(SR) bindings and it's absolutely perfect for whatever the conditions. It really is an all-rounder back country ski. I even dig the color! Beautiful things don't ask for attention...

Awesome quality and super-fast production and delivery. The logo detail is perfect--better than expected on the flexible strap material.

I thought this would be better than Christmas cards to give to clients and friends over the Holidays. Everyone loves them and a gift that keeps on giving. They turned out great, minimal hassle and arrived on time.

Voile Mfg makes good straps. They won't let you down.

Have used the STS risers extensively. They are very hard to deploy using your pole end, sometime they have to deployed by hand. I think it is mainly do to the triangular cross section. Will continue to use them but will start to look for other options.

Love these skis. Mounted with 22 designs axl. The scales allow me to explore rolling terrain that would deter skin-only skiers and get to those untouched powder stashes, when things get tracked elsewhere.. I carry and use skins but the versatility with these skis . Great backcountry powder ski, turns beautifully.

They're tiny but so so strong. Can't help buying them to attach stuff to bike, wrap loose tools, you name it

5'5" 160 female - Mostly inbounds, off piste, and tree skier at Powder Mtn, UT on 178's with Marker Griffon alpine binding. Spouse has a pair mounted with Telemark 22 Designs old school Hammerheads. Totally different skiers, both massive fans. Any rave you've heard is true and then some. I can carve like a boss on groomers and dance on soft bumps in Aspen. These shine in the off piste powder where conditions vary (drift, windpacked, blower). The ski seems to read my mind, it's that intuitive. I can't believe the precision and to have this much stability and power on a light ski seem unimaginable. This is a long ski for me, but it's agile and playful and easy for me to drive. It's literally the near one-quiver ski. I jump up to the wider Voile V8 on 12" to bottomless days. I hope Voile gives ample warning of any major change or discontinuance because I'll buy 2 more pairs to be sure I can ski this ski until I'm dead and gone. 18 different pairs of skis over the years and THIS SKI, any day, anywhere.

THESE VOILE STRAPS ARE CLUTCH FOR OUR GUESTS' SKI PACKS. NEVER KNOW WHEN ONE OF THESE STRAPS WILL COME IN HANDY ON THE TRAIL.... OR AT THE CAR. IT IS A FUNCTIONAL GIFT AND WHEN IT DOES COME IN HANDY THE LOGO IS A NICE REMINDER THAT CASA TOURS HAS YOUR BACK. THE NEW CO-BRANDED LOGO IS SHARP. I LOVE THE POWDER BLUE COLOR TOO. WWW.CASATOURS.COM

We've used other products in the past, but these are the best height, shape and design for tuning!

This ski have performed well for me in all snow conditions. Ensuring bases are waxed for snow conditions is a must to maximize glide and avoid glopping in warmer snow. Excellent for quickly moving across flat terrain or slightly inclined slopes without having to use skins.

Simplicity, durability and ease of use. I have been skiing these solid for over a decade now and they are bombproof! Thanks for continuing to make these, there's no need to change them.

Great service and good looking product. I've used these for years and love them!

Easily one of the best purchases you can make. Such a small investment and you get a high quality US made product you will use and trust countless times

The awesome straps are way better with these

Top quality American made handy AF straps for doing stuff. I trust them to secure really expensive things to the roof of my car and truck all the time.

If you get the super high quality straps definitely get the keepers and maybe get extra because they vanish when not in use

Super high quality and made in the good old U.S. and A. These are such an obvious product I can’t believe they aren’t on the shelves of every hardware store. I have them on my motorcycle, truck, shed, basement and car. I’m ordering some for my sock drawer and might keep a few in my mailbox.

Bought the cobranded straps to use with our KARGA systems. The hooks fit perfectly, straps are the high quality that Voile always delivers, and we’re very happy overall.

I'm going to counter everyone's review here. I have been split boarding for 17 years, and I have always used Voile's skins. I bought these last year, and have been incredibly disappointed. I was initially stoked as they are quite a bit lighter weight than their old orange with tail clips. After about 1/2 a season ( I will add I only backcountry, and I go a lot) the skin's started leaving skin glue on my board. It continued to get worse through the season to the point, that I will be buying Black Diamond this season - bummer, one season for 200 some dollars. I spoke with a Volie rep and they know about this problem, yet, still continue to carry them. They told me I wasn't storing them properly. when he told me how I was supposed to - that's exactly what I was doing. My husband has had the exact same problem. After 2 years of using, he will have total skin failure and skin glue all over his board. We both carry a razor blade to scrape the glue off. It's a total bummer because we both have been using Voile skins forever. He started with the old skool purple. I was the orange. Sorry Voile, you guys used to have a a great product and impeccable customer service. I found neither to be the case last year. They actually told me to go buy elsewhere, which I plan on doing. I'm only giving one star, cuz they won't allow me to give zero.

The Voile slogan of Simple, Solid, Backcountry fits the TTS Transit perfectly. It is remarkable how boring these bindings are. And that is a great thing. They do what you expect them to do, with zero fiddle factor. I have been on tele tech since March of 2014, with several hundred backcountry days on some variation of a tech toe tele by this point. Voile's Plum toe works every time. Their heel snaps into place. It is simple to make flex adjustments. Nothing to ice up or fail to engage. This is the reliable, predictable tele tech you have been wanting.

WOW!!!! There is a lot on line about this new boot. All of which takes about the hard shell. The review don’t talk about the parts are well made and all with screws and t-nuts so repair and adjustment are possible. Very few printed pats. The line is also specifically design for this boot. They made the toe of the liner thinner so the bellows doesn’t push the liner into you foot. This boot is more than worth the value. I personally like a race stiff boot so for me this boot is not stiff enough for race day, which is why the 4 stars. As a boot to us for piste and off pistes combo, all I can say is WOW

Snowboard wise, the revelator is pretty solid. Excellent float. Responsive. not too damp. Not too stiff. I have ridden in all conditions, mostly in monashees, cariboos, coastals, rocky mountains, etc (NW). Not awesome on groomers but hey its a splitboard. Where it shines is the scales. SOMETIMES you can ride your snowboard right to the car, but in my experience 9 times out of 10 you are slogging across some brutal traverse, going down some terrible hiking trail, crossing meadows or swamps with meandering creeks and theres always one last bank you have to climb over before you can descend (which turns into another one last bank to climb etc etc). Skiiers and splitboarders alike struggle with this junk. Do I skin up and walk downhill just so I can get up the next "last" 50m of uphill? Or do i sidestep or struggle or fishbone or boot pack that hill? Neither, you just transition to ski mode as soon as the good riding stops, and boom now youre having a blast silly skiing 10-20 degree terrain! when you have to bump up that hill, the scales let you without adding skins, its truly a thing of beauty. A couple words of warning though: as others have pointed out, switch is messed up. Its possible in cold snow in a nose press, but nerve wracking because the friction goes way up when the scales touch. The other is that theyre pretty slow comparatively. You will have to start striding before the normal skiers on descents, so typically you will pass the skiers on the ups as they apply skins, then they will pass you on the downs/flats as they just have better glide. IMO voile should experiment with shorter scale patches or less relief (shorter profile) or more camber stiffness, but this board is pretty amazing as is. I keep looking at other boards and then remembering they dont have fish scales and therefore are simply not an option.

Strong. Versatile. Utility

Used them on my racks for bikepacking weekend. Worked great!! Super strong and do what they are supposed to.

Our ski straps look incredible. The entire team at Voile was so responsive and able to get us these straps just in time for a community event! We will definitely re-order!

I love these little straps and use them for a variety of purposes.

Amazing quality by the Vole team. Super easy to work with the graphics department for custom work. Super fast turn around time and excellent outcome. I'll be buying a ton more.

This is the best thing for west coast winters

I have used these for two seasons with a modded Dynafit TLT6 boot. Overall it works pretty well - I like its simplicity and light weight. I have two relatively minor complaints: 1) As some other users have noted, getting into the binding can be a little finicky, and 2) The binding will release randomly when going uphill, usually when side-hilling or there're torque/sideways pressure on the binding. Sometimes the binding releases while side-hilling on a steep incline, and having to finesse getting my boot back into the binding, which is finicky already, can be a pain.

We use these straps for attaching bike boxes to new bikes, strap forks to the arms of Kuat racks for more security, and giving to customers to attach products to their new bikes! With our logo on the straps we are happy to give them out to customers who are excited to recieve them! The metal buckle is the only way to go!

I did not purchase these pads for skiing as I don't ski. I had a double knee replacement years ago and was going on a sailing expedition in Greenland. I was going to have to kneel on the sail boat and needed knee pads capable of being used in extreme cold temperature. These pads were wonderful. I felt like I was kneeling on pure comfortable gel. I love the adjustment capability--very easy and comfortable. I highly recommend these knee pads for any use you might have for knee pads. I will contiiinue to use these pads for my photographic endeavors that require me to kneel and get down low to capture my images.

I've skied the SuperCharger, HyperCharger, and now the Charger ACE in the 185cm size and the ACE is the perfect blend of tourability, stability and liveliness. From the first turn this has been my favorite ski of all time. It loves to be arced in long, open turns, but has a low enough swing weight that snapping them around for more nimble turns is no problem! These inspire confidence in a variety of snow conditions from blower pow in the Canadian Rockies backcountry, to punching through lower elevation, wet stuff in the Cascades. The sparse, white topsheets are stylish, and the tail clip is an elegant improvement for the uptrack in the Charger series. I mounted these with Lynx telemark bindings, and the maple in the mounting area feels so solid, I don't worry about pull-out when flexing out my turns. Like my favorite pair of shoes I want to have more of these ready to go for years to come!

My favorite skins hands down. light enough to ride with in your jacket when its cold. good sticky glue. simple clips dont fall off on the skin track. super grip on the up track. nice glide when its flat.

Very easy to use, a quiet material, and strong enough to tie down my 3 lbs sticks to my stand - exactly what I was looking for and needed for my use. An added perk was them coming in army green to blend in easier in the woods. Bought 4 without ever using them before and glad I did! Will be using these all the time.

We’ve been using these since dirt was invented. Why anyone would buy knockoffs is totally beyond me. I’ve trusted these to keep canoes, kayaks, panniers, significant others in place. Never failed yet after years and years in the sun and cold. Bungees are for Bozos.

This vendor has fantastic customer support and quoted us for about a week longer then it took. So it came early! I will say we got the red color and the proof that they sent looked a little pink so we were a little worried but all turned out well!

I made the mistake of trying a competitors strap. Broke after just a month. Nothing beats Voile.

The cobranded service is fast and so popular in our shop. Once we listed these custom ski straps, we immediately sold out (same day). Like another reviewer, we had to restock immediately. Great quality, fast service!

What a ski! I have a Fisher S-bound 98 and ALFA boot and wanted to step it up for bigger challenges where I needed more support/traction on the climbs and more control on the descents without loosing too much kick and glide. With a Speed Radical binding and a light weight Tecnica PEAK Zero G boot, I'm able to do just that. I can hang with someone with a mid-country set-up on the flats. I do waste a little bit of energy controlling the direction of the ski side-to-side due to the extra width and no center groove. But that's to be expected. Not a fan of the white base, but the all white top sheet is stunning with a silver binding, lots of complements. A great choice for anyone looking to bridge the gap between an XC and a back-country setup but still wants AT compatibility. And just great overall ski for never-groomed XC routes in the woods.

First time user and worked so much better than clip straps, however lost one of the clips with the tongue on the very first use ! Beware you need to fold over to keep secure and stop falling off when not in use. Cant buy these as accessories, so strap is now useless. Such a shame.

Fast delivery, great product

Love this new ski! I find a noticeable upgrade from the updated construction of this ski. The off-white color is really helpful to limit the sun from heating the topsheets and making snow stick to your skis. And also as with all Voile skis the topsheet surface texture often has a noticeable difference in the amount of snow stuck on compared to my touring partners skis or boards.

I use these to hold my chainsaw on the rack on the front of my dirt bike for doing trail work. Quick to fasten, unfasten, and readjust. I love these

I bought these to keep in my search and rescue pack. I’ve used them mainly for strapping snowshoes to the pack, but the uses are unlimited. I have also used this size to hold a small tophandle chainsaw onto the rack on my dirt bike.

Voile straps are in my pack, gear bag, car trunk, and motorcycle saddle bag. Been a voile customer since the early 90s. Voile always comes thru

The skins glide well and grip as well as a predominately mohair skin should. Who actually wants to ascend a skin track so steep that requires the grip of a fully nylon skin!?! I found the tail attachments finicky. The tip bungee has so much more elasticity than the voile strap on the tail. When putting them on the ski, I'd slot the tip, pull the bungee somewhat tight, push the skin against the ski, and then try to attach the voile strap and clip to the tail. But I would pull the tip bungee a different amount every time and so the tail attachment would often not be in the correct position and would fall outside of its elastic range. The position of the notch-locking plastic clip on the voile strap is a bit difficult to adjust, so it was easier to peel the skin and reset. I found more success by first attaching the tail, pressing the skin, and then attaching the tip bungee, but then I was awkwardly pushing against the direction of the plush of the skin. After a few tours, I replaced the tip bungee with a static cord and am much happier with the skins. Every time I put them on, the tail clip is in the correct position and is appropriately snug. It is true that I have likely increased the time of my frantic skimo race transitions by a second or two, but I accept that penalty.

The toe is confidence inspiring and the cable skis great! I have found myself removing and stowing the cable in my pack for long approaches this spring more often that I thought I would. I avoid STFU skin tracks like the plague and so have removed the taller heel riser. For civilized skin tracks, the first riser and the flex of the bellows are plenty for good strides. They're now lighter and have less snow accumulation and boot jack when the snow is sticky and tacky. For someone looking for a low smoker deep knee tele turn, the sensation change in pivot position is very noticeable. Positions #1 and #2 provide a very toey, 75 mil feel. On position #3, they charge!!

I've skied the Endeavor BC with a pair of TTS Transit Telemark bindings with a TX Pro every tour this spring in Montana through a variety of conditions: cold dust on crust, stiff hot pow, ice, grabby wind-affected, avy debris, chalky windboard, breakable crust, corn and even some boot top powder. For a light pair of skis, they've handled it all quite well. They have a somewhat long turning radius carved on edge, but they're so light that I can pop up and swing them around with ease. As with all my skis, I liked them significantly better after a strong de-tune of the tip and tail- guess I like to smear my turns. To scale or not to scale? Like em: For the rolling and involved exits, not needing to put skins back on is awesome. On short stretches, I'll just shimmy in ski mode with the free heel. For longer climbs, I'll adjust my boots and bindings to tour, but am still transitioned before my friends using skins. Don't like em as much: They don't glide as well as a non-scaled ski on the runouts. And since they don't slide backward, I can't easily slip and slide falling leaf style when re-positioning for the next turn on steep slopes, though I'm adapting. For a pure steep skiing ski, I'd go with no scales. For my steep skiing, fitness, meadow skipping, and multi-day traverse ski, I'm glad I have the scales. I'm 6'0, 180 pounds and the 178 feels like a good fit.

The ski crampons provide good purchase and are easy to put on while staying clipped in to the skis. They are noticeably wider than the 84 underfoot Voile Endeavor skis I'm using them on, but they still feel secure.

So easy to turn it's like cheating. They inspire confidence in all conditions I've encountered (Chugach front range) Perfect with Voile hardwire + T2s.

Indispensable for bike packing. Easy and secure way to fasten your bags.

Nice that the handles are compatible with Voile shovels bought back in the day.

Simple product that works well.

They do exactly what they're supposed to.

These are light enough for touring, get good traction on ascents and are good for downhill. They are my ski Nirvana.

Absolute game changer of a binding. After 15 years of telemark skiing in the back country I’ve never had a binding with absolutely zero problems. I’ve skied meidjos, lynx, outlaws, switchback, vices, hammerheads, bd 01 and the tts is more active than any of them, while also being lighter. And with no small moving parts there’s nothing to get frozen or ice up, transitions are comically simple. Every other binding on the market kind of feels like a waste of time. Paired with the v6 BC I feel unstoppable, smooth transitions both direction let the scales thrive and I can get anywhere on the mountain

If you need a reliable strap, go Voile. I have a couple for my bike packing handle bar bag. I picked up some nanos to strap a small repair kit under the saddle, something you don't want to lose. I have 3 bikes so each kit has items specific to that bike, like backup TPU tube, derailuer hanger, CO2. I was using one wrap, but they moved too much. The nanos conch down nicely, any the strap keeper is rock solid.

I have used this ski for a couple of months now backcountry skiing in Utah and Vermont and it is fabulous. Super light weight but you can drive the shovel like no other lightweight I have skied. Very nimble In the trees and the narrows but also stable at speed and in big turns. I ski it with 22 Design Axl and when mounting you can feel the screws are going into something substantial. I know I won't have the Telemark rip out problem I have had with so many other lightweights. American made skis rock!

Wow - I am blown away! Surprising thing is , I am not a " charger " type tele skier. I am a finesse skier . I went with the Ace to replace my old go to UV/X2 set up and was intrigued with the new core construct of the ACE. I'm 30/30/40 Resort/BC/Sidecountry trees in VT. Set up Axl position 2 /stiffy springs / 171's/ 5'9" 175lbs ( Yes I still prefer 75mm). Axl drives these skis beautifully for me. Overall the ACE provides great pop/energy and smooth flex, slips ,pivots, carves, smears ,hops/jump turns , powder ,ice, crud, bumps, trees.... ( And yes it charges/rips whenever you want) , Absolutely killer set up for me!!! Thank you for this ski Voile!

Always cool to work with a company who has their process dialed. It was super easy to call they up, get the artwork approved and out the door. Definitely a show stopper and conversation starter when you hand a coveted piece of gear to a ski lover with your company's brand on it!

This is the ski that I have been waiting for. Voile absolutely nailed it with the Charger Ace. I mounted tele bindings on the 185s. For my style and geography of skiing (intermountain west), this ski is close to perfect. I appreciate the flat tail, long camber, wide tips, and the lightweight but solid construction. I previously toured on beefy skis because lightweight touring skis made me nervous in challenging condition. The Charger Ace is lightweight, but it inspires confidence on the descent. Cheers Voile!

I could not imagine a better everyday driver for big Tetons descents or couloir daily driver. The updated design provides better edge hold, lighter swing-weight, and more reliable skin attachment to an already time proven package. Well done Voilé

Well-designed clips that fit most shapes, the straps don't break, the glide/grip is perfect, the glue seems to be fine, they're light, packable, and come in a fetching black handbag that doesn't at all make you feel weird carrying it around in the trailhead parking lot. I've used almost every skin out there, and these are always my favorite.

Replacement for pomoca rail clips. Works the same as the originals, at a pretty dang good price.

I really like these bindings. They are very well made and have a lot of great features. They only lost a star because of how difficult the heel pin operation and installation was. I had to stretch the pins to get them to fit the heel pad, but one of them i stretched too far and it was constantly falling down while climbing. The forward heel pins I was able to install without stretching but they were so tight that I was barely able to operate them with gloves on. These were definitely annoying problems and I felt that more guidance in the install instructions would’ve helped but overall the bindings performed fantastic on the Altai Köm 174 and I think they will hold up for decades to come.

These skins a clearly superior in every way. They climb better and glide better than any skin I have used over the last 25 years. Lightweight is a bonus as well

These are the greatest telemark knee pads currently being made -- also the only ones. I didn't think I needed knee pads when telemark skiing... until I needed them. I hit my knee hard on a rock under the snow and then went online to find knee pads that same day. The other companies who used to make tele knee pads stopped making them. Just Voile makes them now, as far as I could tell. Thank you, Voile! They are a bit bulky, but they do the job can't complain. I will never not wear them now!

The Phantom splitboard risers are too high for my taste so I replaced them with these at 48 and 58mm lengths. You need to spread them out to get a proper fit but they work great, solid, easy to raise and lower.

This was so helpful to get the pucks perfectly aligned for ease of binding attachment. I thought I had it right with a straight edge. Then, this tool showed me how it was not perfect.

My mistake … I bought the keepers not realizing that not all mfrs straps are the same. The keepers don’t fit the straps I have. Buyer beware …

I have had the original scraper I got with the split kit in 2000 and still use it every season. Incredibly durable an handy. My friend who is on Tele saw it and ordered one for the ridiculous low price of $6 so I ordered a spare. Bomber!

Very excited to ski finally on new skimo racing skis from voilé ! As usual very fun to ski on ! Definitely noticeable different shape, similar rocker slightly bigger shaped front of the ski and wider more powerful tail, I noticed ski was very responsive and I was able to stay more upright instead skiing in backseat in various snow. Weight combination with racing skimo bindings makes it absolute beast for fast objectives, traversing ice fields even on spring crust… Voilé always makes skiing fun and enjoyable and even those skinny skis have same characteristics no difference there!

Best skis in the world !!

Coming off a hypercharger as my previous touring ski, I already know how great Voile's 'hyper' construction is. Really nothing to give up in terms of ski-ability in the backcountry. Feel is amazing for a carbon infused ski and of course so light for the ascent. Anyway, I decided the chargers were a bit much for me and my typical tours. Very happy with the hypermanti. They are very easy to noodle through trees and turn on a dime with little effort in tight spots like couloirs and glades. They have enough longitudinal and torsional stiffness and edging support for difficult conditions but the tail releases very easy. The early rise tip shape allows you to ski powder very well. I have no issues on the uphill, the ski feels very balanced and easy to kick turn and traverse across slopes on the skintrack. Overall a great everyday touring ski for any condition. I have the 181 length mounted with ATK FR14 for a reasonably light setup and great downhill performance.

this new rottefella system is kick-A! uber light, love the easily changeable flexors, and the climbing bar...well, it's got bar in the title so it can't be bad right??? advice: get on that S now!!

Plastic on the replacement piece is better and withstands cold temps. Worth it to buy several b/c the original Pomoca clips will break.

Works! Exactly like the one that broke. Except Green

Got a chance to test my Transit crampons. Snow conditions were powder in the trees and crust on the way up. The crampons made my climb back up extremely easy and safer. I did not have to worry about slipping and had great glide for the stride up. The bump on top of the crampons allowed me to use my heel risers and still had plenty of grip. Crampons come with a nice bag and easy to store in my pack. Before using the crampon make sure to clear snow out of the crampon attachment or you won’t be able to get them on your skis. Use the blade of the crampon to clear snow out before sticking them on your binding. If you need 4x4 mode for those icy climbs get these crampons for your Voile Transit!

Thank you for bringing them back! Some of ski soft snow with finesse, and the stiff ones are overkill for that.

No more, no less.

These spikes are super easy to put on and add a level of security that reminds me of putting my old 4Runner into low range 4WD. Confidence building on steep icy ridges

Thanks voile for offering the conversion, the old bindings would sit in my garage till dooms day, but now they have a new lease on life and are a great improvement on the old rails.!!

The clips fit perfectly on my Tubus rack. I can tell that “this strap really ties the load together” (apologies to The Big Lebowski). The normal excellent quality from Voile on this specific use strap.

East coast rider here. I've got about 18 days on this split, skinning about 35k ft of vert and riding groomers and tight trees, from firm packed snow to 8" of fresh. Its been super fun! The board is responsive but still playful. Psyched on this thing!

Had one of these years ago and lost it to the river Gods. So glad to see it back.

Nice and light. They pull apart easily, but with stickiness. However they seem to loose their grip/stickiness after a short time. Clips keep them on but an all day tour could be worrisome.

Arrived as expected , and our logo design looks great. Ordering was quick and easy and shipping time was sooner than originally promised.

have used Voile Product over a career in the snow industry...backcountry out of Brighton, Ut...nothing but easy, reliable and has never let me done !

Tried the Supercharger a few years back in 185 but at 5' 10" and 160 lbs it was more ski than I needed. Have been riding the V6 since at 183 but have felt the limits of that ski in variable and firmer conditions. The Manti slots right in between in the sweet spot and may just be the one ski quiver for which I've been searching.

Given the recent spring like conditions here in the Wasatch in January I've had the need to bust these crampons out on early morning ascents up south facing aspects. The attachment mechanism is simple and works smoothly. I actually appreciate that these fit over the cables as it saves time putting them on and later transitioning. Paired with my Mantis at 104 underfoot the crampons do not feel too wide at all but I can imagine on something narrower that they might feel a touch too wide and a smaller width option in the future would be nice.

This is the binding for which we have all been waiting. Simple, solid, and field adjustable when needed. No more dealing with sub-par tech toes or committing to a single pivot point. No more shopping around to three different vendors to source parts for a frankenbinding that meets one's needs. No more struggling with fiddly and failure prone claws, plates, or spacers. It's the best value for money and best performance for any telemark binding on the market at the moment for anyone who spends any time in the backcountry.

This is by far the best 75 mm binding I have ever used. The performance, durability and price is unmatched. This is the only telemark binding I have ever used where I have experienced zero failures. These bindings have held up in the bumps and the trees for almost 20 years. I have abused and skied these bindings hard, and they have delivered every day. Voile’s customer service is first class as well. I will be sad when the day comes that I no longer have boots to use with these bindings

Perfect for touring, easy to use, it's light as At binding, i use it with scarpa defender . A little more active than 75 but after few days the feeling is very good. The only problem ,they sold the binding before the crampon claw and you have to remove the binding , not very clever when you have news skis.

I feel like I finally cracked the code for the best VT /east coast backcountry setup with this ski. The fish scales paired with fritche vipec evo bindings is my go to setup for all day backcountry adventures. It feels like a Nordic ski on the up and flats and a bombproof alpine ski on the down. I’m thankful Voile is making this type of ski.

The Voile Transit is my favorite binding. I primarily ski in the BC and love the binding. No icing issues like my NTN bindings, noticeably lighter when removing the heels for the skin track. The Plum toe works great and super easy to get into. Adjustable pivot locations is nice and the binding is plenty active for my 200lbs frame. Big improvement over my old Voile TTS. Compared to my switchbacks the Transit is more active, adjustable, lightweight and does everything better. However only plus I like on the switchbacks I can go from ski to tour mode with the flick of a switch. I’m sure Voile could have made a TTS similar like the Switchback but it would come at the expense of weight. If you’re tired of NTN icing issues, and need an adjustable, simple, and lightweight binding get the Transit!

I would describe myself as a kick and glide girl with over several miles of backcountry ski trails out my front door in the forest of NH. With varied snow conditions of the past few years, I have branched out to uphill travel at the local downhill ski area. I have been using a backcounty ski with a fair amount of camber and this year wanted a ski that was more manuverable and easier to turn and was compatible with a telemark binding. I am 5'10" and weigh an average of 150 lbs; I purchased a pair of 164cm Endeavors and realized today that I have my dream ski. On the uphill travel, I can scale up or skin up and they completly fullfill my goals of easy to turn and manuver. On the backcountry tour - kick and glide I can manuver through tight spots, trees, make quick turns and have plenty of grip with the scales and glide. I am running them with Scarpa T4s and 3-pin Voile Spring Cable Traverse Telemark Binding. Thank you Voile.

I purchased my first Voile skis last month and mounted switchback tele bindings on them. Today was my first day out and I had a blast. My boots are probably 20 years old so should update my T2 boots. I was able to transition from crud to groomers on our small Sunlight Mountain with no issues . There was a little soft powder and I think this is the most versatile ski I’ve owned. I’ve been tele skiing since 1984 and getting close to 70 so these may be my last tele skis. I’m very happy!

Fitted perfect for me. I bought a used fix and it was way too small, glad to be able to ski thie year with my new-old ski

. All-purpose, fun loving, does whatever you ask of it. A true one-quiver ski; it’ll surf bottomlesss pow, scribe GS turns on bullet-proof wind buff, and playfully send tight tree lines. I own both the regular and Hyper versions. The Hyper is my BC daily driver, mounted with Plum Race bindings and normally in/play with the 3-buckle Scarpa Maestrale. It steers just as well with 2-buckle Atomic Backland Pros however. The regular version is mounted with the Lynx Tele binding and is my resort ski, because of the added weight of the ski (and Scarpa TX-Pigs) they don’t make it into the skin track often. But, since both pair are 181cm, I can share the same skins between them. Years skiing: 45 Weight: 185lbs Experience w/ Mantis: just got them at the start of this season. Have 2 days on the regular version, 4 on the Hyper. The Manti will return a fetching great time in all conditions!

Love using these pucks on diy split boards. , it's so easy , snap out your stance, drill four holes, pound the t bolts in and tighten 'em up , epoxy your p-Tex caps on, base grind and your good to go !

I replaced my pair of Voile 3-pin bindings from the 90s, and the Mountaineers are a big improvement. Nice and stiff for turns, easy to clip in and out, and very little resistance while touring.

Great decals from a great company! Quick delivery!! Look cool on my helmet (at least I think so;). Voile “Cares you Tele!l:)….they prove it day in and day out by their products, service and people! (Love my Superchargers 171s)!

Love these skis! I have these mounted with Outlaw NTN bindings and using with Scarpa TX PRO MEN'S tele boots, great set up! The skis are light, quick and a blast in powder. They hold an edge well on hard pack and are also stable at speed. Highly recommended for all around western ski that does everything well!

Was looking for a non aggressive face strap to attach my Aloacka raft to the top of my salsa rack. These are perfect in the longest length to hold a rolled Mule raft tightly but not damage from a pinch when tightening. Also good for watermelons.

I've been using this shovel professionally for over 20 years. I always buy these for my crews' avalanche rescue kits. Great size with the telescoping shaft, and I really appreciate that Voile still makes a decent sized scoop. Don't roll with a small shovel; it's criminal. This shovel holds up to industrial use/abuse. Don't ever change Voile.

Thanks for making this binding available! The idea of TTS seemed good to me for it's simplicity, touring capability and the potential to get closer to a 75mm feel. I've been thinking of making my own but, this is a really good creation by Voile that is worth my time and money. It's replacing my BD01 and T1(resort) or Voodoo(touring) combo so I don't have to worry about parts availability anymore. I liked the feeling of the 01, the way it toured and the fact that I could just toss a spare half binding in my pack and swap quickly if anything happens. I feel the Transit, on neutral activity, is somewhere between my 01 w/midstiff and the Rotte Freedoms w/green springs. Instant engagement and progressive flex that won't bottom out. Best of both world actually. I'll keep my Freedoms for patroling with brakes but that's all. I use the binding with a Tx Pro with Maestrale cuffs (aka 2024 Scarpa boot) and it is just like skiing the T1 with the range of motion of the Voodoo. I got the long travel springs on a smaller boot (25.5 I think). It won't bottom out or feel restrictive like other bindings. I can put the ball of foot to the ski, can ski upright or drop low. I get rid of the pivot slop from the 01 and the lateral control with pins is nice on icy terrain. I really like that you can change the pivot and tension to adapt the binding to bigger skis or different preferences on various terrain. I haven't toured the binding but I don't see how it could go wrong compared to other options. I'm really happy to know that these bindings and the future Scarpa boots will be made for some time. Great platforms to keep our sport going!

So nice to be able to buy a turn-key TTS system finally. Nice that Voile thought about and implemented user-friendly features like the ability to use ski crampons, or the ability to change activity level without unmounting the spring assembly.

Been hoping for a wider scale ski for years. Bought these as soon as they came out. Stoked.

Best pads on the market. Highly recommend them.

After consultation with the excellent and friendly and knowledgable staff at Voile i bought these amazing backcountry skis and mounted my telemark bindings on them for touring and backcountry skiing, i have only been out a couple of times so far on mostly flat rolling access roads and trails as we still have pretty thin snow coverage and snow base here in the Breckenridge backcountry which is just starting to accumulate. But these skis have wonderful manners! they glide along effortlessly up and make lovely stable telemark turns down the gentle rolling terrain i have taken them on so far. They grip perfectly on the flat and gentle rolling trails going uphill with their traction bases and no skins (so no back sliding on gentle terrain) and they are very well behaved on the kinda "variable trail conditions" trip back down the local backcountry access trails we can slide on so far and which is currently being used by foot traffic, snowshoers, snow bikers, as well as xc and backcountry users

I used to be a powder-hound but have evolved into a powder-snob and I love these skis. My first Vectors were without scales and turned me on to what a true powder ski can do. My first pair of Vector BC's let me get around the backcountry better but were beat up when I bought them so buying a second pair 10 years later is a good investment. I also love the idea of some lighter boards even though my skis are usually covered in pounds of snow when I'm using them. The scales drag on hardback, but I know how to avoid hardback and the scales can be hard to wax and I was going to apply the DPS Phantom treatment to these in hopes of maximizing glide and preventing springtime glomping. The only reason I own three pairs of essentially the same ski is because I haven't bought a fourth pair yet. I can't think of a better endorsement.

Strong and easy to use, got for my bike bar bag, needs the 9” as 6” is too short to work. Will find something else to use the 6” for.

This is the 4th Voile strap I've purchased. These things are great! The other 3 are just the strap, no hooks. The hooks on either end are brilliant and would've worked great, if I hadn't lost the hook on the buckle end while I was packing up for a bike packing adventure. That part was disappointing . I didn't realize the hook on that end would slide off so easily. :(

Great idea, if expensive way to get more secure and ramped binding mount on skis. Helpful for wider skis, tho I'd probably opt for the 20mm riser partly due to the issue of this so called 10mm riser is slightly too thin for the rear two binding mount screws that go right through the riser and work against the ski top sheet to then lift/distort the riser slightly off the ski in the back end of toe piece riser.

So we have been using and selling Voile for a while over in the UK, at a bike shop I work in (Bicycle Ambulance). And nothing but good things to say, not just the rack straps but all of the range. In short they just work! Thanks guys!

When purchasing these skis I expressed to the team at Voile my concern about them being able to float my fat a**. I weigh in around 200 lbs and typically ski a length of 181-184cm in the backcountry. The longest version of this ski is only 178cm. The team at Voile assured me it would float me, and float me they did. This ski is awesome. Its narrow enough that I can control it even in bounds on hard pack with my leather Alico 3 pin boots. When paired with Voile's switchback bindings. The traction base provides effortless ascents. The camber / early rise tip combination makes this ski just want to climb to the surface of any powder. Overall this ski is awesome and is really a one ski quiver.

These straps are outstanding. Easy to use, rock solid, won't scratch a bike frame. Double check your use case before going for the shorter lengths though. I have a few 32'' and a few of these 25s, and every now and then wish I had more 32s. It's easy enough to stow a long tail end after cinching the strap down, but you can't add length if you need it. That said, maybe the solution is just to get more straps!

Strong, easy to use, won't scratch a bike frame, and stays rock solid over a bumpy ride. Allows me to commute without panniers - strap the bag to the rack with two of these, then stuff the straps in the bag when I get to my destination.

Best ski crampon I have used. Super light and maintains a flush mount to the ski even when not weighted. This is a massive help on steep skins. My buddies had other ski crampons and I had these going up a wilderness fourteener. I put out 1/3 of the energy they did !!

Thank you Hailey and team for the great service and product. We are 100 % satisfied with the custom printed ski straps. They look great and I know our ambassadors and friends of WindTunnel will love them. Thanks!!!

I've been using this product, in conjunction with the Voile Release Kit (in its various incarnations), for 40 years with confidence.

This ski rocks! Low angle powder slayer.

The one ski to do it all. This ski is amazing! Sidewall gives it unreal power and responsiveness. The flex is smooth and even but when you want to push back against something you can. Less chatter, damper and the weight is just a tad above a hyper charger. If I could only have one ski, this is it.

Much like the review below, I got these to replace damaged highbacks that came with my K2 snowboard. These feel like a better quality of plastic and bolted in no problem despite there being a chance my bindings are a little older than what these state. They work great, and the easy adjustment for forward lean is a big improvement on what I had. Shipping was great, and I received them faster than advised.

I love these straps for all my outdoor activities. I duo wish Voile would consider making one that is just a bit longer...say 34-36 inches, so it is easier to strap down my tent bag to back of motorcycle. Thanks!

I use the straps for my bicycle trips, never had a problem. Excellent product!

I use it with straps for my bicycle trips, never had a problem. Excellent product!

Thank you! Been wanting a wider scaled ski for years! Will definitely be picking up a pair of these!

These are as good as currency in the backcountry, on a construction site, around the house (especially in the garage and garden) and pretty much everywhere you and your two hands are going to go. Nearly as handy as an opposable thumb, they give you the extra help you need when flying solo on a DIY project. They basically ARE your third hand. This shorter XL strap is my new go-to. I'm a huge fan of the nylon buckles, and now that they are offered with the 1" wide XL strap I feel like it's the perfect relationship.

Just simple and easy to use. I had no worries to setting them up and using them.

Such an simple design that is easy to adjust and set up for your riding style

Oh boy these are so fun & on the right terrain they are the one rig to rule them all. With the traction bases can go up slopes within reach of my Dynafit middle heel lifts. On the down in soft snow they feel like my beloved flat base V6 skis which means very happy feet. They are easy to ski on hard snow but will drag & hum. Got some local rolling terrain out the door and a closed forgotten ski area up the road that now feel like private ski terrain. Sweet Melissa saw how fun they were & we picked out her pair today 😁

Best tie down straps any ADV rider could ask for! I have used them to attach my yeti to the back of my GS , my dry bag to my luggage rack, to hold sleeping bags and tents to my dirt bike handle bars, or coffee cups to panniers….literally anything and everything!

We love these straps. They are so versatile. Our current favorite use is to strap a spare tube on to the frame each bike in our bike fleet. The nylon buckle ensures no scratches and we appreciate that design.

I think we're on our 4th (maybe 5th?) reorder of the custom straps with our company's logo on it. They're a great product and incredibly popular with our customers so we just keep coming back for more!

Days Crumping, hold my stuff in place something good!!

Baller Yo, they are awesome!!!!

Solid, simple and great looking!!!

I've used Voile straps since my first Merrill Super Comps in 1989, many years, many straps, don't get anything else

Ski like big V6. Fun in summer slush conditions in our late snowpack this year. Glad I picked them up and didn’t wait till fall to mount! These skis are light even though it’s the “standard” build. Much more fun than the truly light skis on funny snow and that’s what it’s about. 165CM length and I am 135 sans pack and 5’8”. Mounted with 22D Lynx and use Scarpa TX Pro Boot.

Not a lot of information on this, if any, but the Voile Ascent paired nicely with the Union Expedition/Explorer/Charger style splitboard bindings (no modifications or extra hardware needed, unlike the Burton channel splitboards). I also paired this board with the G3 LT nylon skins. With the setup I have (162cm board/skins/boot/bindings), I came in at about 8.4 lbs per foot. Just a note, the 'secret sauce' of this board is the Paulownia wood core which is WAY lighter than Poplar wood core boards with comparable strength. I tested the board out on several resort skis in UT before going into the backcountry and I thought the board floats/turns nicely in the deep Wasatch powder. The pseudo-twin shape is excellent for those situations where you need to ride switch. I summited Mt Baker with this board in early May in Pacific Northwest spring conditions. I definitely recommend crampons for any spring big mountain ascents (and don't forget the skin wax!). But, even without the crampons, I thought the board responded well on sidehill traverses, better than other splitboards that I've used with more aggressive radius side cuts. This sacrifices the design a bit, but I think it's well worth the trade-off. The board was a joy riding down a big mountain descent like Baker in the PNW corn snow. I love the color and design ... it shows up very well in photos/videos on the mountain!

I picked up these to contrast with the spark hardboot risers and the Phantom Rocket Risers. The Phantom Rocket Risers are a few grams lighter and have the slots for ski strap heel lockdown, but I have read that carbon boards fail with them because the weight is concentrated on the points of the riser rather than distributed across the bottom like these (and Sparks). It's hard to tell from the pictures but there is a bottom piece that sits flush on the topsheet of the split ski and so the pressure of the heel is distributed across the ski. With respect to Sparks, these are lighter than Sparks as they're made out of nylon, and the only functional difference is that the bars lift toward the nose of the skis where the lower heel riser on the Sparks is pulled up from the tail of the skis. Sort of a minor difference, but the Sparks are very easy to pull up with a ski pole handle. The flip side is knocking the heels down is easier when they fold down toward the nose. In terms of how difficult these are to pull up, they seem pretty normal to me. One could just sand down the nylon where the resistance comes from if you wanted to make them flip up more easily. Beyond that, the only other difference is price, where these are far and away the best value.

We got these to strap down a crate to a rear rack, and they're so effective - it's solidly on there. Have also used to strap down 1-off things

Best straps I've came across for motorcycle, truck, rv and any other need for a strap to hold items down tight. I used these straps for a few trips out to Yellowstone, I would recommend these to anyone.

Great service and shipping. The straps are awesome and so useful! I’m happy with the 3 pack since I got different sizes and lengths.

I never go on a bikepacking without minimum a pair of straps! Very useful to tie up and secure everything

Best strap I've ever had. Great for strapping things to my bike rack.

The binding works very well but the cartridges are way too stiff for us folks who are used to the traditional Voile cable binding

Used with 22D Lynx w/Scarpa TX Pros. After testing in May slush once these behave like scaled XC skis, so appx 20 deg is your max slope and a firm “set” of the ski needed when getting in that range while climbing. (like when things get steep with skins.) They glide much better than even nice skins, but there is expected drag on descent. Expect it with skating too. Get some NF liquid glide wax and put it on the scales to help with glide and glopping and have at those closed winter road approaches or traverses. Tight turns are easy on these skis. Even the non-hyper version is light. If you get creative on mounting, hold up to a light so you can see where the reinforcement pads are before you commit. Fun ski with a specific purpose.

I bought these to attach sleeping bags to the handlebars of a bike with two straps. I am also using one strap each to make sure the other parts of my setup are secure. Very solid.

Since I have both racks from Old Man Mountain, The Divide and Elkhorn I purchased two 13mm straps for the Elkhorn and two 10mm straps for the Divide. It's important to make sure you are getting the correct size strap to match your rack's tubing What I didn't expect with these is how snugly they fit the rack. I assumed they would need a minimal amount of tension to stay attached to the rack. When they refer to the "snap fit", they are referring to the conscious force that is needed to properly snap the nylon clips in place. Once the clips are snapped in, I don't see how they will ever pop off on their own. There is no pivot on the attachment of the strap to the clip. This means that these straps are intended to be used straight across the connection points. They do not like to have any lateral tensions, so you will not be able to use them to create an X with two straps. Unlike the regular straps, there does not seem to be a way to extend these straps. However, I don't see any reason a regular strap could not be used to extend a buckled strap. It's unlikely these straps will scratch or mar your rack frame since the buckles are black nylon. I'm sure I'll think up new ways to use these things, but it seems like a combination of the hook straps and regular buckled straps are only limited by ones imagination and perhaps IQ.

I won't be able to try them until next winter, but I can say the customer service was excellent and I would buy from this company again

Although I won't be able to use them until next winter, I can rate the customer service, and it was excellent

I bought these and the ankle straps to update my older Voile bindings, and they swapped perfectly. My old ones had broken release tabs.

These straps worked perfectly for securing my rando bag to the front rack on my commuter bike. Awesome product, as always!

Ive been waiting for these to come back in stock! Epic hat! Pick one up!

Graphic is amazing! Fit is a bit tight for an XXL. Most XXL t's fit me great. This one is a bit slim. But that is just more motivation for me to lose some lbs.

As advertised the Super Chargers carve up the mountain like a fresh set of Ginsu knives. On groomers these literally Charge per its namesake and have you locked into the snow as if you are riding on railroad tracks. I more so ski black and double black terrain which requires any turn, any time, any where. To my surprise and delight, the Super Charger can keep up with my turny, playful style of skiing. I Tele and Alpine ski. So I took the Super Charger as my AT setup on my ski mountaineering expedition to ski the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I knew that conditions would be anything between wind blown crust & ice to that magic Moroccan sweet corn snow. The Super Charger was the perfect ski to cut through all of the variable conditions. Plus the Super Charger toured like a 12 round knockout champ. On another note I took the Voile V8 skis as my telemark tour setup to Morocco which floated like a butterfly on the uptrack and stung like a bee on the ski down.

I have not purchased these. I had to rate it to post my comment. I would definitely buy these skis if there was a notch for the skin strap at the end of the tail. I've read that skins slipping off the rounded tail is an issue without that notch. Other than that, looks like a ski that I'd definitely want to buy.

I've of course used bungee cords and velcro straps in my many years, but nothing comes close to Voile straps. I have a bar bag on my gravel bike attached with two small Voile straps and I keep two 25" Voiles on my rear rack. I've yet to carry something I couldn't strap down with one, and the second one has come in handy many times. ANd I've used the 25s to strap together stuff for traveling. Easy to fasten/unfasten, secure, light, affordable, made in USA. Hard to imagine there's a better strap out there. I won't spend any time looking for one.

These crampons do a very poor job of adding traction when needed. Crampons are only needed while skinning on steep firm snow, however when using these crampons with the shorter heal riser, which is needed in steep terrain, the crampons are not fixed and rotate to the bottom of the bindings, and the teeth just barely touch the snow, if at all and offer no additional traction. Don't buy these, look for crampons that can be fixed to the board, or buy crampons for your snowboard boots and carry your board on those firm steep spots.

This ski design is a versatile workhorse - the most used in my stable of many fancy skis! Probably because of where I live. I've wore out a pair of the Hyper version, which I replaced with these. Imho, the hyper V6 was actually too light - the normal version is just perfect, still light, but more stable in variable snow with the added mass.

Thanks All! Love these poles for all types of skiing! And the scraper on the handle is my favorite feature! Thanks for continuing to make excellent products!

I use these on my moto rack to hold things down securely. Way safer and more secure than bungees. With the hooks the straps can be a lot shorter. I have all shapes and sizes of Voile straps and use them for all kinds of things.

Bomber pieces but very hard to deploy even with the Voile poles which have made any other riser easy to grab. The toes knock it out the park but these leave a lot to be desired.

I challenged NTN system with these for the very first time. Any terrains,any snow conditions ,almost nothing to afraid. Very light weight but stiff enough to high speed, and runs so good. I’m doing nothing,just V6 brings me the point I suppose to.It is a V6’s magic that makes me to be a much much better skier. Not less float in powder,but let me want to try V8 too for heavy deep snow in Niigata area .

... and that reason is quality, dependability, and always there when you need 'em. Honestly, you simply cannot have too many of these straps. I have them in a variety of sizes and they always - yes, *always* - come in handy; especially since there's that moment in every trip where you think, "Dang, I wish I had something to lash down this random asteroid I just found by the trail," and - voila - that spare set of Voile straps you bought do the trick! But, seriously, these straps are bombproof, super functional, lightweight, and have a million and one uses, on or off the bike. The cost-benefit ratio is beyond worth the purchase; so pick up a few pairs today and you'll be grateful you did.

Upgraded my fat backcountry ski (112mm under foot) with these. Similar to the skins I use on my splitboard; I had confidence these would perform. THEY PERFORM! Just did my first larger day (6,000'+) with them and certainly set a new PR. Easy to trim with a great included cutter. Super easy use on, off; folds small in the pack or jacket. I use with a stretch sock (G3 Loveglove) for faster application and glue preservation .

Perfect! And excellent customer service. Arrived quickly and easy to attach to my binding

After several failures with UL shovel from BD, along always carried a folding wood saw. Saw an opportunity to declutter my pack and much more reliable snow shovel. T-Wood Mini is absolutely bombproof, I will not hesitate or loose faith in this shovel. This product strikes perfect compromise of being not too heavy but rock-solid along nice decluttering feature by having an integrated wood saw. Only thing I wished this produce has is small guide convex on shovel/scoop where handle goes in. It would make deployment even more quicker.

UltraVector BC paired with Fritschi Vipec Evo bindings is downright amazing. I do not have to step off skis during transitions beside only if I need to put skins on! Covering a rolling terrain cannot be any easier! BC traction patterned skis from Voile forever will have spot in my quiver. Also I had DPS Phantom waxless treatment done on skis, including fishscales themselves. Couldn't be any happier!

This item's description says these straps "stretch", but that's inaccurate. There is almost no elasticity in this material -- a 50 pound load results in only 1" of elongation -- so they do not hold cargo very well. They are also ridiculously overpriced. Other vendors sell made-in-the-US ratchet straps rated for thousands of pounds, with straps many times longer, all for less than Voile charges for one simple, unrated strap. After being disappointed with my purchase of 2 Voile straps, I bought made-in-US straps and buckles from another vendor for about 75 cents per strap to cover the remainder of my requirements. I see no reason at all why anyone would let Voile rip them off on these units.

Amazing board still strong after 3 very involved seasons, having the option to not put the skins on on select terrain is a game changer/time saver, teaches you you be more aware with heel pressure and body positioning, can’t beat a glide without skins. Just waxing the tip and tail is plenty efficient, skins adhere perfectly to scales under door when applied for the steep stuff. I got crazy and filled scales and cleaned wax appropriately preseason while you dream of all your past climbs.Nice set back stance but nothing too exotic simple and solid is right.

These skins are amazing. Great glide and great grip. They are lightweight and pack up nicely. Just bought my second pair after the glue on my first pair starting to come off after 3 years of hard use. These skins give me so much confidence while skinning up steep terrain or slick snow. I will not be buying any other skin.

This is my second pair. My other other pair lasted 4 or 5 season's. I only need to add glue and they will be back in business. This is saying a lot because I live off grid on top of a peak and snowboard everyday I can. These are the best skins hands down! I’ve slid with a lot of other people who use other brands and they have problems when mine keep working perfectly. Totally Stoked on my Voile gear! From boards, skins to straps! The first and still the BEST!!

I got these as replacements for Fischer Transalps. Found those caught the tail quite aggressively on fresh snow and failed to float well. These are almost as light, but the rocker tip/tail and penguin shape tail solve both hang ups. I live in NH and they’re not amazing for hard snow, but still predictable and grippy. Just some noise feedback given the lack of mass, but fully expected. The hold an edge as hood as one could hope for such a light ski. Once on deeper snow, it really comes to life and provides surfy, smooth turns!

I bought Voile Mantis a couple seasons ago and have been using them as my daily driver, they’ve been awesome. However deep ventures in Little Cottonwood last year convinced me that I needed a wider ski, I shopped around a little, demoed a ski. And eventually just decided to get V8s. I ordered 171s and mounted them up with ATK raider 12s, I’m a muscular 165lbs, and about 5’6”. So far they are awesome, in powder super fun and surprisingly nimble, they rock in tight trees! Occasionally in a wide open bowl I feel I could have sized up, but appreciate how easy the 171 handles exits with tight terrain and less optimal snow, not to mention steeper terrain too! Not a lot of bad things to say about these skis, definitely glad I went Voile again.

Purchased directly from Japan. Arrived surprisingly quickly. I use it for backcountry skiing and it is a necessity. Also useful for repairs. You will not find a better strap than this.

After 15 days in NE Oregon on good mix of backcountry, side country, touring, and groomers where conditions ranged from icy hardpack, hardpack, lumpy semi-hard tracked snow, to powder these skis have held firm regardless conditions. Just the right amount of stiffness and float which allows me to ski trees as I like and charge open areas. Weight does not hinder touring and the ski’s versatility is appreciated in the backcountry. At least in my mind, this truly is ‘the ski that can handle it all’. Should have gotten these a long time ago!!!!!

We and our customers love the straps of Voile! Since the order for the printed straps can be made online, the communication and shipping is very good and very fast. We are happy to order again!

I chose the 20/25 mm or Hardware three pin riser for greater leverage to put fatter skis on edge, especially effective for my leather boots, as they can take a little more effort to get fatter skis on edge on harder snow. They work great. I only use the 65mm climbing wires on all boots and skis. I have them mounted on my two pairs of UltraVector skis. And I use three different boots on them: an old pair of leather double boots as well as a pair of T3's and a new pair of T4's. All boots work really well with them and on my UltraVector skis. I use the three pin spring cable (traverse) binding on both pairs of skis.

I use the three pin spring cable (or traverse) binding on both pairs of my UltraVector skis and for all three of my pairs of boots.. They work great, --- (a lot like Voile's new Transit TTS binding that allows you to attach or reattach the cable for more comfortable touring); only these are for 75 mm instead of the newer NTN boots. I use an old pair of Merrill leather double boots for which I use an old T3 liner. I also use and old pair of T3's with a Garment Excursion liner, and I just bought a new pair of T4's last year in which I also use the Garment Excursion liner. And like Mark Christopherson (talking about the Transit TTS binding) on the YouTube video with Free Heel Life, I also attach the heel clamp of the cable behind the heel pads for easy access when I need it for the downhill. I even have three separate pairs of the spring cables and heel clamps for each of my boots because they are all a little different in size. (They're not that expensive and the convenience of having them all pre-adjusted to my boots is worth it.) So I adjust them in the basement and then tape them with color coded tape so I can tell which ones fit which boots.....Great system...simple and bombproof. And like the new Transit binding, if I did happen to break a cable or heel clamp, I can still ski on the pins alone.---GREAT.

They work great. I only use the 65mm climbing wires on all boots and skis. The only problem that one must accept if you use this binding is that, as with any three pin 75mm binding, you have the pins to contend with and getting them properly into the three holes in the 75mm toe lip of your boots. If you don't, the pins can ruin your pin holes. If you buy the smiley plates that FreeHeel Life carries and have them mounted by a cobbler, that will make this way easier and will extend the life of your boots. This is a great SIMPLE, BOMBPROOF BINDING that works well for all kinds of three pin 75mm boots.

Just to let you know up front, I have two pairs of UltraVector skis. I have one in the original Blue/Green graphic color and one in plain flat white. They're that good. I originally bought the B/G color skis in 2021, and decided after two full seasons that I loved them so much that I wanted another pair.---On for mostly BC kick and glide touring and turning, and one for Pebble Creek Ski Area and their backside. (Note: Skiing a lot from the lift may wear down the fish scales faster than if you avoided using them too much while doing lift served skiing.) The white ones were the obvious choice. I have had this theory for years that white deck skis do not collect snow on the top sheet as much as colored skis on sunny days because the sun won't heat them up as much to cause snow that tumbles on top to melt and attract more snow. However, any ski will do this at first once you take them out of the warm car and start skiing on them. But after you scrape them off, (maybe while putting on skins) a white deck ski will be less likely to build it backup again. So far, I have found this to be true. Both of my pairs of skis are 164cm. length. I am about 5'6" or so and weigh about 130lbs or less and this size works really well for me. I use an old pair of leather Merrill double boots for which I have co-opted the old liner from an old pair of T3's as the liner. I also use the old T3's with an old Garment Excursion liner in them, and I just bought a new pair of T4's (last year) in which I also use a Garment Excursion liner in them. All three boots work great with the skis. The plastic boots do add a bit more control than the leather boots, but the leathers are more comfortable to do kick and glide tours in and yet can still turn the skis well. I do mostly tele turns in BC snow, and I also do mostly parallel turns on hard groomers, espeically with the plastic boots. Contrary to what some may have said, the fish scales work great for most or all kick and glide touring. I can climb quite well with them, (as good as any cross-country fish scale ski will, or better). I find that when I need to use the climbing wires on the uphills to ease the strain on my calves and achilles tendons, that's usually about when I need to slap on skins. I use the three pin spring cable (or traverse) binding on both pairs. They work great, (a lot like Voile's new binding, the Transit TTS binding that allows you to attach or reattach the cable for more comfortable touring); only for 75 mm instead of the newer NTN boots. And like Mark Christopherson on YouTube with FreeHeel Life, I also attach the heel clamp of the cable behind the heel pads for easy access when I need it for the downhill, rather than taking them off and putting them on my pack. I even have three separate pairs of the spring cables and heel clamps for each of my boots because they are all a little different in size. So I pre-adjust them in the basement and then tape them with color coded tape so I can tell which ones fit which boots.....Great system...simple and bombproof.

I got the medium purple shirt and it fits well and is soft. I love the colors that blend from bright yellow to teal.

USPS lost one side of a binding kit. Refund and purchased a kit I have been using Voile bindings since 1976. Good stuff, not great, but reliable.

For hardboot splitters, in terms of toe pieces, that don't take a lot of space and are durable. The biggest problem with some of the other toe pieces is the fact that you lose access to the front binding holes closest to the toe pieces especially when you need a little bit of setback in your stance. Not with these ones. Also, super easy to disengage.

The ski is better than I thought it would be ! Being a back country ski guide here in Japan I bought the V8 skis not as total touring ski but to Guide off piste as well here with clients . It totally crushes it with a great float in the powder (Japow) whips through tight trees and then can just rip its way through the chop after a long day with clients . After buying this season 2023 its definately my go to ski for guiding Ninjapowder clients day in day out on all sorts of terrain and conditions great stuff Volie !

I had to get new wires to fit new smaller boots, and was rather chagrined to find they seem to loosen on their own as I skin. I seem to keep tightening them and they keep loosening! Rather disconcerting when dealing with rugged terrain and such.

As far as I could ever tell, the heel levers were the only weak point of the Hardwire binding. And they weren't all that weak - but mine did finally give out after almost 20 years. These got me back on the slopes and feel more solid than the originals ever did.

I have used this scraper countless times to get globbed ice and snow off of my skins and ski bases and friends' and it is so clutch. Recently I also used it to scrape a car windshield when the driver was unprepared. This is a simple touring pole that is lightweight and adjustable with the great feature of extended grip for choking up when the situation calls for it. And it has a scraper. I don't think I'll ever go with a different pole!

This skin does everything you need it to do. It's lightweight and provides a dialed grip/glide ratio. The tip loop is super durable as has been the rest of the skin. I used this skin for a whole season of training for and in the Grand Traverse and had no problems, and it's still alive! It has excelled in continental and coastal snowpack conditions. The tail attachment is meant to hold the skin in place while the glue does most of the work as such, consider this hot tip: pull the skin material itself, not the tail strap/clip part, when ripping skins--this will extend the life of the tail apparatus significantly!

I have been skiing this ski al winter in a 185cm with a TX Pro boot and Outlaw X binding and it is *so* choice. The classic lightweight tourability of Voile skis is unmatched. With backcountry skis it is common to sacrifice downhill ski performance for the sort of uphill ease that Voile SuperChargers offer, but there is no such sacrifice here with this ski; it is full of life and to bop from edge to edge feels like a dance. The shovel offers ample float in soft snow and the camber profile makes for a stable ride at speed on piste or off. Everyone I know on Voiles told me to try this ski, and they all got excited when mine finally came in the mail, and now I'm doing the same thing they did!

The Objective blows all my pre-conceived notions of a lightweight mountaineering ski out of the water. Super light on the way up, enough camber and running length to hold an edge on steep and icy terrain, generous tip rocker for soft snow, and a strong tail for stability. And a total blast to ski. My biggest critique of most ski mountaineering skis is there's too much emphasis on the mountaineering and not enough on the skiing. Not with the Objective. Voile nailed it. I don't think I've ever had so much fun on such a lightweight ski that still holds its own in challenging conditions. In typical Voile fashion, light doesn't mean flimsy. I've accidentally skied into a hidden talus field at speed and come away with just scratches on the base, despite my touring parter having the "HOLY SH*****!!!" reaction at how hard I crashed. I can't recommend hitting talus fields as a ski strategy, but good to know my skis survived! I'm 5'11", 160lbs without a pack, and I've been really enjoying the 171cm. I ski them with a ~1000g boot and sub 200g binding and it's a great combo.

Using to attach a blanket roll to the handle bars on my Dyna Wide Glide. Very cool look, and minimizes wind buffeting as i do not use a screen. Everything stays put, much better than leather.

Using these to hold a mosko moto tool roll (7lbs) on a Harley Dyna fixed to lower frame. Work great, just put 6k on them on tour last summer from snow covered mountain passes in Montana to 110F in Wyoming at 100 miles an hour.

This is a very solid binding all around. Easy to use. Only thing I would say is they could make it lighter. It’s noticeably heavier than my other splitboard bindings.

Really a fantastic board to ride on. Took this board out on a 4 day trip into Alaskas backcountry, and it delivered. Great float, felt solid, and was a very smooth, damp ride.

These risers were great… until they stopped rising. My left riser no longer stays in position. After some inspection it’s obvious that the plastic has worn away and no longer holds the metal bar securely. Seems like 2 seasons is all I’ll get from these risers.

I have two of them. I keep one in the car in the winter and use the second one for clearing snow of my decks. It is a most comfortable shovels I own. Perfect size , very light weight and feels very sturdy. Good job!

Absolutely loving this conversion. So so happy that Voile offered this as an alternative to having to purchase entirely new bindings. Have been out on a few tours and am convinced this is a great step forward. Always loved the Speed Rails but broke about 5 of the individual rails over the years, as a heavier rider (6'3" 230). Problem solved!

Best buff yet! Durable and keeps its shape

Love the design but not big enough for my XXL dome. Bummer.

Just got my first pair and after 3 outings, I think the skis are fantastic. Crazy lightweight. Glide fine. Fast on the flats.

Awesome knee pads. They're warm and stay put. I had a pair of Telekneesis before and these are far superior.

These are great straps and included all necessary hardware for attachment. I updated some older K2 V8's and they fit perfectly. The toe strap locks in the toe very well and the ankle straps are comfortable.

After skiing the original swtichback for 20 years I added the S2. I can't say I see much difference in how they ski, but I do see a little more activeness. As with the original, I like the ease of use, the simplicity and the weight. I don't use the free pivot often, but when I do I am very glad to have it.

Ordered these thinking they would be a fun sometimes ski for when I wanted a goofy exploratory tele ski. Turns out they are the first ski I reach for for backcountry, and even for patrolling at a downhill ski area.

I found these simple bindings to work well for just adding to the voile slider plate. They are relatively light and easy to use. The wire bail adjustment isn't the easiest especially in the backcountry, but they are a solid interface with boot and board.

This is by far the best backcountry ski have have ever skied. Every ski backcountry ski should have a traction base! Having the traction base has totally changed the way I look at ski touring. Long approaches are are a breeze. The only thing that would be better for me is a wider and longer option.

These skis are amazing. They have tackled everything from icy resort groomers to 1+ feet of fresh in the backcountry. Recently on a backcountry peak bag, I was able to drop in off the summit into icy wind hammered crust, and into powder in the lower bowls, with confident tele turns the whole way! It’s awesome, the perfect amount of camber to grip the ice when you absolutely need it, but a wide shovel to enjoy the powder that you went all that way for. You can feel the envy from your buddies when you flip your bindings into your mode on small climbs on the way out, I have yet to find a scenario where the scales are a serious disadvantage. They make low angle terrain more fun and in the end, more “worth it”! I have mine mounted with a pair of 22 Designs Axls, and have a second pair of Axls that I dream of putting on the normal Ultravector. Can’t recommend enough!!

Bought this to add to my DIY split board kit and they fit perfectly. Quick to put on and off, and gives me a lot more confidence when doing split board mountaineering in California.

Have used these bindings for years and still doesn't disappoint. The best binding for me that I have used to cover varied terrain and still be able to cut turns wherever appropriate.

I normally use the straps with the metal buckle for bike packing, but these nylon buckle ones have an awesome secret. You can actually slide the nylon buckle piece off the strap to use the strap as a replacement on a piece of gear that already has a buckle. The original straps on my snowshoes (Northern Lites brand) became super brittle and cracked, slipped these naked Voile straps into the bindings...good as new! I like these even better than the original straps because the Voile rubber has just a little more stretch and flexibility in cold temps.

My husband wanted to try my skis but he has bigger feet then me. An extra set of rods let him try my Voile Ultra Vector BCs, which are also awesome, and it worked great. Simple swap

This binding seems to be stronger and more durable than another brand that did not have a cable and the toe piece broke. I use this for cross county and light telemark skiing.

These pack small, glide great, and have plenty of grip. I prefer Voile's tip loop over the Pomoca tip loop. It sits more flush and stays put laterally. They don't pack as small as the pink Pomocas, but they seem a lot more durable. In reference to previous reviews about the tail clip, this seems to be common with Voile ski's rounded tails. I have two sets of these, one for BD Helio and one for Voile Hyper V8. The Hyper V8 sometimes slides off due to the lack of a tail divot for skins. However, I love the way the V8s ski so its a small price to pay.

Got these mid-season 2021. Haven't looked back or looked at other skis since then. I thought I'd still use lighter skis for touring and only use these for lift-based. That changed quickly. I ski them with a tele-tech set up (Kreutzspitze + voile-cables) and F3s. Cannot rave enough.

Needed new straps for my snowshoes. The snowshoe manufacturer was out of them but the customer service agent for the snowshoe company turned me onto these straps. They work great and I’m very happy that customer service for my snowshoe company was cool enough to get me set up with straps from a different company.

I skied the original V6 for years and as I got into ski Mountaineering and then guiding, tried out a bunch of the backcountry big name brands DPS, Blizzard, Blackcrows, etc. This season I went back back to Voile because I had such good memories of the V6. I picked up a hyper V6 and on the first turn I knew I made the right call. A smile split my face and never left, every turn on the V6 is just fun. I love how much bounce and playfulness the ski has. The more l centered mounting point, fits my skiing style and makes tight hop turns a breeze. This ski works really well for me. I’m 5’9”, 160# am a fairly hard charging skier, and the 183 has always been my go to length for this ski.

What a great splitboard. It’s light on the uphill but doesn’t sacrifice any downhill quality. It’s stiff and responsive for riding in tight trees and steeps. It’s also playful and allows for fun turns in a variety of conditions. I can’t even tell it’s a splitboard on the way down. The new hooks keep the board together really well. It handles drops and landings without flexing in the middle at all.

These binders got the power. I'm very impressed with how well they pushed my lightest skis through the heaviest crud. On my first lap I had too much down force on my tips, causing my tails to unweight. I was able to unwind the hardwire springs a couple of turns without taking my ski off. That small adjustment, made midrun, was all it took... fine tuned for the conditions! As you'd expect from Voilè.. they have all the features in a stripped down, analog style interface. They require some knowledge on the part of the operator.. I can tell I'll get better with the ins and outs, heel wires, etc.. the more I tour in them. I really like looking down at no toepiece... almost looks like youre just standing on the skis.. tele-pow surfing. Get Some Today!

I have skied these in all conditions from fresh powder to icy groomers, variable crust to chunky hard pack and have been stoked on how well they have handled everything. Floaty even in wet and heavy snow, and incredible edge control on ice. These skis are responsive and super easy to initiate turns in, with a nice balance of being playful and stable. Honestly, I didn't totally understand what people meant when they used all those review buzzwords to describe skis till I strapped on the HyperChargers. Plus they are super light! I don't feel like I am sacrificing any uphill or downhill performance when I reach for these skis. It's been hard to convince myself to ski anything else in my quiver since I fell in love with my HyperChargers. (notable mention, the beautiful top sheets. looking down makes me smile on the most sloggy skin tracks)

My 4th set. Obviously, I love em'. Bomber. As is all Voile stuff

I don't know where the old one went but somehow I lost the 2-sided pop pin to my snow shovel. I tried to find one at the hardware store but it was so great to be able to get another one straight from the manufacturer that I knew would fit.

Light, efficient, capable. I've used these on day trips and multi-day missions. Love how you can blur the lines on mellow grades between skinning and skating. Not a ski for every day, nor every person. but the OB BC's are a ski that will always be in my quiver.

It shipped fast even on a saturday. the product is excellent. the shipment is superb i needed it, asap i got asap.

One run on the 169 and I can tell this board is going to do very well for me in Alaska. One thing I didn’t think of at all before I chose it so this is my fault-riding switch is almost not possible due to the fish scales. Even just a little falling leaf action is not easy and I will have to sort of relearn some of my snowboarding methods. What slightly scares me about this no switch thing is sometimes it is almost mandatory to briefly ride switch as a safety factor. An example -traversing across a steep face and it is safer to be on your heel or toe side edge, sometimes switch, sometimes regular. This board has its place and will do extremely well while ridden the 1 direction it is meant to go in. I got it thinking of how great it will be to essentially have a giant pair of cross country skis to strap to the airplane wing and glide across miles of flat glacier with ease. So I will put it like an old bush pilot told me- buy the airplane you will use 90% of the time not 10% of the time. So bring that to my splitboard - 95% of the time I am not riding switch so I am happy. Thanks for making awesome innovative products Voile. Keep up the good work.

I opted for the Hyper-Manti (181) because I wanted something light but with a little more versatility than my old skis, that at 98mm underfood, felt too narrow to take on a trip when fresh snow was a possibility. On paper the Hyper Manti fits that bill and after a few turns, I am very happy with my choice. Pros: - Obviously the weight is pretty outstanding for a ski with these dimensions making it an easy choice for longer tours or hut trips where you'll be putting in lots of vertical. - Edge hold was excellent for a 100+ waisted ski at this weight. I had a chance to ski these on some fairly hard groomers and was generally pleased with how well they bit into those surfaces, provided I kept my speed in check. I expect this will be a good spring ski when conditions can be firm up top before softening into corn. - Carving the softer groomers was a blast. They were plenty stiff to rip big fast turns as long as the snow was soft enough to hold an edge. - Nice camber underfoot for fast edge transitions. The skis had plenty of energy throw you into the next turn, so much so, that I found myself reliving the old slalom days. - Forgiveness: I skied some old refrozen crud through the trees which I generally find to be the most challenging for a light backcountry ski, to say nothing of my legs. Without the weight I definitely wasn't blasting through anything but overall was pleased with how easily I could get the tails to release and check speed when needed. - Reinforced binding area. I know this has become pretty common in manufacturing carbon skis but its great to know that you're mounting bindings into something solid. Kuddos to Voile for doing so. Cons: So far not a ton but some things to consider. I consider this a dedicated touring ski and not something I'd want to ski more than occasionally at a resort without soft snow. They had a very specific speed limit on a firm inbounds groomer following a freeze/thaw cycle. At lower speeds the edge-hold really encourages you to push for more but I found that I quickly got to the point where the skis started to chatter and I had to throttle back or risk exploding. I hesitate to list this as a negative for a carbon touring ski but it's worth noting in case you're pushing the speed in variable snow that might put you unexpectedly on some hard ice. I'm guessing that the regular Manti with a the heavier layup would have more dampening and a higher speed limit but of course you'll pay for that on the climb. That said, the Hyper-Manti does as well if not better than any other ski in this weight class/width that I've skied so it's really about your priorities and what kind of trade-offs you're willing to make. I am also not sure if this is a negative but I'm unclear if the reinforced mounting area/plates extend far enough behind the toe piece to mount the voile ski crampon? I'm a huge fan of those fixed crampons but have ripped them out on other light skis in shallow snowpackss after accidently stepping on a rock. Not sure how much weight is saved by only reinforcing the toe and heel binding locations but it would be nice to know that the area in-between is equally as solid for securing the Voile 'disks' that holds the crampon in place. Last 'con' - what's up with Voile not providing a boot center mark on the ski? I got by fine using their chart for distance from the ski tip but still, it would be great to have the mounting line on the top sheet. I'm sure there is a thoughtful explanation for why Voile does that but it adds to my mounting time and work-bench beer consumption. Overall: It's easy to get excited about a touring ski after reading it's weight and width specs but skier styles and abilities are so varied that you just don't know if you'll like it until making a few turns. I bought the Hyper-Manti sight-unseen, so to speak, and the gamble paid off. In the past, I've struggled to find a ski with balance between traditional forward-stance skis that arc big turns and

My wife and I use our equipment until it is worn out. Few cable bindings left on the market. Trimming the cables to fit my wife's boot was a challenge (don't own bolt cutters). Hard steel, thus expect this binding to last forever. She could do without the three pins; perhaps Voile can offer this binding without pins. We are not pinheads. Cable bindings have worked for me for over 50 years. Keep making 'em. (Still have a pair of Black Diamond cables that work just fine.)

pretty decent set up. tours ridiculously well, skis downhill quite well with medium durability. plus reasonably cheap, what more could you ask for? I found the triangle piece that latches the cam lever in place wears out after about 150 days then the cam slowly backs off on the up track. I broke the weld on one side but this was an easy fix for a local tig welder. then the plastic lock lever snapped off too, just bumping it on a log. it failed safe as in my boot was still attached to my ski and I could put my skins on by just taking my shell off, so could still ski till replacements showed up. would be nice to buy that part as a spare. but otherwise you can order the snowboard binding for cheap and just get spare toe pieces which is pretty sick. all in all my first attempt at a non 75mm binding and I don't regret it

stoked you can buy these as spares for your tele bindings after they wear out. note, they arrive with whatever size machine screws for use with snowboards not the coarse thread screws you need for the tele set up, so hopefully you don't need those too

I ski patrol at a local Cross Country ski hill and bought these to replace an old set of steel edged narrow XC light weight back country skis. I use the new skis on the groomed trails where snow conditions vary from icy to powdery; terrain varies from flat, gentle green runs to steepish black diamond runs. I am using the G3 Ion12 binding. The fish scale pattern works well on the groomed trails, from soft snow to hard and crusty. The skis do not fit in the standard XC tracks. Having a more robust ski, binding and boot setup than my previous setup makes patrolling the trails much easier and safer, especially on the steeper hills where the snow, when it has refrozen, can be challenging. I have yet to try out the skis in the back country. For use on the groomed XC trails I am certainly enjoying the skis.

Paired these with Dynafit boots & ATK 10 Haute bindings and I as a 50 yo woman blow by 20-30 yo in the heavy skis, boots & bindings and it makes a 5000 foot accent very doable in varying conditions. I just still get nervous ascending ice with the rocker ends, but will try ski crampons.

This is the board Ive been waiting for from Voile. Stable, light and damp. Im really impressed. Nice work Voile.

Used these as an upgrade to my worn out Superchargers, which I've loved. I also owned the Chargers before that. What a nice way to drop weight. They ski familiar, and the light weight is easy to move around in playful terrain. Skied a couple days on them. The one downside: I got 3 spinners mounting one of the toes, which is a first in mounting ~5 skis. A shop was able to helicoil fix the toe. Be careful with the light core.

These work well and are long enough to weave through my heel lifts and around my 27/27.5 Atomic Hawx 130s - thus locking down my boot heels to the my skis (splitboard in ski mode) for ski-mode. Also useful for other purposes when split boarding or backcountry skiing or bike packing/bike touring, car camping...

I went with these as a replacement for my Phantom Tech Toes (same as Spark Tech Toes) as these allow me to adjust my binding stance to a narrower stance. Phantom Tech Toes work well, but they are long in relation to the Voile STS Tour Binding. The Voile allow me to bring my front splitboard binding back further, so that I can have a more narrow stance between front and rear splitboard bindings. I have had these out for one shake-down tour up and they worked well. Using them for the first time, I found it a little difficult to get in to them, but with practice I think this will not be an issue. The Phantoms/Sparks open wide to allow an easy entry. Voile take some finesse.

I keep breaking the 65 mm ones for some reason, so it's good I can replace them . I never use the 100 mm ones that come with the Switchback bindings.

It's good that the basic 3-pin binding is still available, even though the price seems high. So far, so good. Keep making it, please.

This isn't a flashy product, but the key feature that should matter to you in a avalanche shovel is that the shovel scoop is heat-treated to an T6 temper. What that means is that the scoop won't crack when you are using your bodyweight to shovel out densely packed snow. Get this shovel because it works.

……99 problems, but having a great shirt is not one.

The envy of all other straps, Voile Straps are burly as hell, and simple to use. I'm continually amazed at how tight I can get them. Big thanks to Voile as well for such a fast turnaround time in getting my branded straps to me in time for an event.

This Hyper V6 BC is a jack of all trades! I've tried so many different brands and types of skis, I probably should be a professional ski tester. This ski is smooth and user friendly, and handles all terrain, on the uptrack as well as the downhill. Also a unique product, I don't know of any other company that makes something remotely comparable. Its important applications have already been listed by others, so I'll add one more novel use - teaching skiing to small children - I can actually tow my grandkids uphill short distances, then turn them loose! I can also get back uphill to pick them up when they crash above me. I've also used these for cross country skiing, on bad snow that skinny cross country skis would lack stability. You never have to worry about wearing the traction base completely flat, because it goes deeper into the ski than the metal edges. I've used and abused several of these babies, and will probably be getting another pair soon.

I bought a pair of these just in time some seriously deep days and I haven't stopped smiling since! These are remarkably light for how well they ski, and they ski remarkably nimble for how fat they are. They are a supreme confidence booster; these things practically ski themselves. I was a little skeptical about the forward mounting position, but figured the designers knew better than me. Mount them at the recommended spot and enjoy your life! These are now my go-to skis for anything with even a touch of soft snow. They handle ice and hardpack better than you expect, but they are clearly not the best tool for that by design. I mounted them with ATK Raiders and couldn't be happier with this setup. If you're looking for a powder ski that is equally fun in playful low angle trees as well as the steep and deep, just get a set of these and you'll see what I'm raving about!

I’m no gearhead and I bought my V6s used with zero research. Boy, am I glad I grabbed them; they are light, lively, and fast as ••••! I’ve since demoed other skis outta curiosity, but they paled in comparison. I plan to ride these “all mountain” skis until they fall apart … and then buy another pair. As far as I’m concerned they are my “forever” skis. Get you some!

I have bought these and used them in past. I mount them with G3 heel plates and they fit good. Sturdier then G3 wires. This time I got the 48 size thinkin I was gettin 55 medium size. I dont care for tall 1s, feel to tippy when traversing fall line. Gonna try these 48s. They are smaller and might be better switchback in across fall line. I dont like climbing straight up and feel shorter heel lifts are better when switchback in and turning directions. U dont need much height to take off achilles strain in this method of climbing and shorter is better balance

Quick shipping, exactly what I needed. Straps seem pretty strong and secure.

Wanna carry 2x as much speed in pow? Buy this thing. I hit 30mph on a 20 degree slope yesterday in-between face shots. Thing is nutz. If there’s any chance of freshies I bring this, though I do have a different board for coulior/ice conditions. I’m 5’11 215 and ride the 180.. the moment new graphics come out I’m buying a 190 as well. Can’t have two matching boards

SIMPLY THE BEST

I spent years dreaming about someone making a traverse ski like this, one that could do it all for steep mountain skiing, flatland, and rolling hills.... as soon as I heard Voile created just that I bought the V6s and I will never look back. They are the perfect ski for long trek touring. They are incredibly light yet still flow beautifully and solidly underfoot, and they are sharp looking too. Not to mention great customer service from Voile. Get them!

I had the privilege of testing this board last March at powder mountain in spring conditions and some hot pow. By far, this is the most stable board I’ve ever walked uphill on. The voile bindings felt tight and crisp on the up and the down. I attributed some of this to the steel plate they use for the toe peace. Much stiffer feeling than competitors, in all the best ways. The new cam lock board hooks were awesome. Again, Voile nailed it with these. So secure, and it truly felt like a solid on the groomer. The Board itself felt incredibly damp and stable. The width and Shape allowed me to feel more than comfortable on the 158 where normally I ride a 162 or larger. This is a stiff rig. I prefer a board with a medium flex for my riding style, but the deeper the snow the less necessary that becomes. If you want a board with great float, bombproof construction, and Toyota like reliability. This could be the one

I have had my STS Tour bindings for about 1 and a half seasons. They were amazing for the first year. Then I started having problems with the locking mechanism randomly releasing and my most recent day out I had to use a ski strap to keep it locked while skinning.

Quick, Easy, Responsive, and Great Product!

I’m using these when working on the bikes. Solid way to immobilize the drivetrain. Not fancy but they work like a dream and are tough as nails.

I have ridden Voile Splitboard bindings for more than 15 years. I have tried other brands but always return to Voile's proven products. Last season I purchased the Lightspeed Binding to add to a new splitboard I had purchased. After my first day out I was so excited about the improvements over my other Voile bindings that I saved up to get a second set for my older Voile Spartan. Everything bout this binding is superior to older renditions or anything else I have seen on the market. What you may ask. They are more comfortable and transfer power more efficiently into the edges. the change over is faster and more simple, the tour mode action is similar but with the better straps and the option to lock the heel and attach the high back makes cross hilling way easier. I also got a set of the crampons and I feel that syste is also better and easier to use although I just got them and have not had them on snow yet. So there you have it. Once again Voile has created the new Industry standard.

I have used Voile Pucks since I started Split Boarding well over 15 years ago. There isn't much to say other than these are the original and industry standard. There is no need ot look anywhere else, as these are the best, most durable, light, reliable, and proven system on the market.

I have been riding the Revelator for almost a decade now in deep pow, variable conditions, and in tight spaces and am super happy with the quality, durability, experience, and now this incredible artist's work below me! It can only bring even better vibes into the mountains. Check Kylee out - https://ridgelinedesign.co/

If you've ever strapped anything to a motorcycle, you'll find plenty of places to use these straps. I've replaced all of my fabric straps with voile, they don't come loose.

A staple for cycling race mechanics to have these on hand at all times. Handy for pairing wheels to transport to that pits, keeping tents secured or anything else where you need to lash something back together. While toe straps are the OG, these are much more versatile.

Just a fantastic skin. Packable, light, glidable, durable, and the glue has been outstanding. I left mine indoors in a pantry accidentally after two seasons of use for a summer, and the glue opened immediately, without issue a week ago. Have been out four times this season already- they are like new.

It truly is a foolproof free pivot mechanism. The beauty of this binding is its simplicity. No gimmicks. It does what its supposed to, Just make sure you mount with metal inserts if you’re skiing in area.

I love these skis. I have them setup with the Hardwire 3-pins. I've used them at Mad River Glen in Vermont to help me get deeper into the side country, but my primary use has been to ditch the hardwires and run just the three pins with my leather lace ups in the woods out back. They add the width and flotation to ski deep snow at moderate grades and the traction pattern bases make it fun to ski quick shots that you might not otherwise hit because of the time it takes to mess with skins. I really love these boards and love this company.

Everything voile makes is reliable and thoughtfully built. Well done on maintaining quality

These straps are the best, the original, and still the gold standard. They belong in any backpack.

Fantastic bindings, simple and reliable. Great nuetral feeling reminds me if the g3 targa but much more rugged. Love them

Great communication and quick shipping on our custom straps! Color was accurate. Great product

My new favorite board! I have it in a 190cm and it is an absolute blast to ride, for reference, I'm 5'10 and I typically ride a 164w in a non v-tail board. Obviously the hyper-v excels in deep powder but it also is great on corn, and for carving on groomers if taken to the resort. In the 190cm size, this board is most at home in open fields of powder but it is still very maneuverable in the trees of the backcountry zones of 'vermont' that I frequent.

A must have item for any outdoor user! Well really anyone that lives in a home, has a vehicle or bike. Useful in so many ways. Handy to have a variety of lengths as well as the Nano and XL strap series.

The 12" length is perfect to go around the tips of my Voile Objective skis. Might as well save weight on your Voile straps with the nano series when you're trying to save weight on everything else in your pack too! Very reliable and have never had it come off unexpectedly, nor is it showing any signs of wear. Great purchase.

Grabbed a pair of these to go with my Voile Objective skis this winter and have been very happy with them. No issues with glue sticking to the bases like some other skins I've had the misfortune of using. The way they clip on makes them very easy to use, and they're lightweight which is always important for long days going uphill. Very happy with these and no complaints!

These poles are awesome, with all of the features you want and none of the ones you don't, in a lightweight package. The scraper is great for getting sticky snow off your bases, as well as flipping the heel risers on your touring bindings. I prefer my poles a bit shorter on the ascent and a bit longer on the way down, and I need something reliable that's not going to collapse when I put weight on it during a hop turn in a no fall zone. These are super reliable and durable. I put heavy use on them in the Tetons and Alaska Range this past season and look forward to using them again this season. Highly recommend.

I picked up a pair of the Voile Objective BCs for the 2021-22 season and have loved them every minute. Super lightweight which makes them great for long touring days and alpine missions. The traction pattern base really works! I've skinned up the local ski hill the entire way without skins, though the feature performs best on low angle slopes. It's nice to not have to debate whether to put skins on for rolling hills or gentle inclines that would normally be a pain or cost transition time. I put a pair of lightweight pin bindings on these and used them to ski the Grand Teton this winter, as well as pulling heavy sleds across the Kahiltna Glacier and skiing off Denali in Alaska. Very happy with them and no issues with durability whatsoever. Will be using them again for big days this season.

We ordered these straps for an event, and they went over really well as giveaways! They are great quality, and Voile was able to print our logo and a QR code on the strap. They were also able to ship them to us priority so we would get them in time for the event. We are very happy with the result!

Awesome service and product!

These are worth the extra spend compared with alternatives. I have found them very useful in many strapping situations for my bike carrying needs. One example: I use them to strap a tennis ball carrier to my bike -- they work really well for this and many situations.

Great! Kept the sleeping bag secure to the bike. Very easy, quick, and simple to strap on and remove.

I got 2 packs, as I was trying out bikepacking and didn't want to invest in a lot. I couldn't find anything suitable locally and asked around. Voile was the majority answer. Very simple to use, keeps gear secure on the bike, and I didn't have to worry about straps or rope loosening up.

I got a pair to try out, I didn't have a phone holder on my bike so I strapped the 2 6in straps together and strapped the cell phone to the bike. Phone never moved! Will have to find other uses for the 6 in straps but can't go wrong with these.

Nice but too expensive.

Very secure method for strapping tent poles to our mountain bikes for a recent bikepacking adventure. Held strong even during some aggressive downhill sections. Also, they hold so tight that there is minimal if any movement of the poles so no frame rubbing issues. I didn't think about the retainer clips when ordering but adding an o-ring to each strap worked perfectly.

Sidewalls and carbon that give voile a new feel. A super sweet blunt shaped nose convenient for sneaking through trees on the uphill. A slightly tapered sidecut that is floaty but still handles quick turns gracefully. And last but not least, groundbreaking clips that secure the board together quite snugly. This thing eliminates the chatter out there!

We weren’t sure that our full color logo would come out well printed on the ski straps, but they absolutely nailed it with the colors. We also loved that we could get the straps shipped without hang tags to save on waste! More companies should offer this option. Thanks for the great experience start to finish y’all! Next round we’ll be sure to put a scannable code on the straps too.

Great skin let down by tail clip assembly. The combo of flat tail clip and no cutaway to lodge it means the tail clip keeps sliding of the ski on kick turns no matter how tight it is stretched. Either a cut away needs to be part of the ski design or a curved clip needs to be developed a la twin tip style but on top of tail . It was a very bad experience on a recent tour.

The fit and function of these bindings is good. For a soft boot binding, transitions are simple and as quick as can be. On the trail, I had my ankle strap come loose and the bolt that attaches it to the binding was lost, so a) loctite all your bolts, and b) carry plenty of spares in all sizes with you or you may have to resort to bailing wire as I did to get home. Maybe upgrade to nylock nuts for the next version, guys?

I love these little straps. They give such a secure feeling for strapping my mountain smith waist pack to my brooks saddle while ridding to and from work. The ease of use couldn’t be better. I plan to buy more Voile products.

Tried and true. They simply work, no questions asked!

Used these on my Salsa & Tubus racks for errands & bikepacking. They hold tight & work great like all Voile straps!

I have huge boots that blow up other brands of bindings. I've used these and the 3-pin Mountaineer for decades. When I get new skis, I come back for more. They work perfectly. Read the instructions on how to adjust them. If you have big boots, order the longer cables. The long ones work for my size 15 and 16 boots with cable to spare . Flexing your boot (lifting the heel) to give cable slack makes locking the cam lever easy.

After blowing up other brands (I have huge feet and boots that put a lot of leverage on the bindings) I started using these. They always work (for many years now) and they never break. I also use the cable version and love it.

These straps are amazing and so strong for being so light! I’ve been using them to strap a portable speaker to my bike. Also love the lime green color!

These straps are invaluable for bikepacking trips. So many uses for unforeseen circumstances!

Purchased as additional straps to secure bike on a Trunk Mount Rack. Have used it twice and worked great. Better than bungees or gear ties. Have to say customer service was excellent. Had a minor issue with my order and they resolved immediately. Thank you!

My first pair of HyperVector BC skis were left in India, I traded them for some freeze dried meals. Those skis had become my early/mid/late season skis. One tip had been glued back together a couple of seasons ago after an encounter with a tree and the bases and edges looked like they had had several confrontations with rocks, dead/downed trees and dirt. So, it was a fair trade. Upon arrival home, I saw that the same ski was on sale and purchased another pair. They are not a surfy ski in deep powder, but they do everything well and I like the pattern for long approaches and exits that have a mix low angle assents and descents. I also use the pattern for making changes in position - an easy 20 meters up and over a ridge with the pattern versus side stepping, or herring boning without the pattern. So I had an opportunity to trade my old skis for some Butter Paneer, Dal and Jeera rice and bought a new pair.

Once again Voile makes a darn good tele ski for a daily driver. 5'11", 160lbs, 178cm, mounted with 22Designs Lynx at factory recommendation. When I'm going for a tour in just about anything other than steep and firm couloir/ski mountaineering conditions, I'm reaching for the SuperCharger. Quick on the turn, stiff enough to hold an edge in firm snow, and a total hoot in soft snow. I've skied them in everything from hard pack to overhead cold-smoke and had a blast every day. The only times I'm not reaching for the SuperChargers first are on long ski mountaineering/alpinism objectives with long approaches and either ice climbing or lots of jump turning involved.

Ordered several of these straps for strapping down my sleeping bag, tent, and air pad. They work great.

Needs metal screw attachments with a swivel.....

I paired these skis with a Atomic Backland bindings and Fischer TransAlp boots for a very light weight ski with much more control than my former 3 pin set up. We do mostly low angle 4 wheel drive roads uphill and then have all sorts of options back down.

good stuff

Nothing but good things to say. I use them on my bikepacking setup to secure two fork packs and they work beautifully.

My friend let me try his at a resort about 3 years ago, I took them for a few runs at the end of the day. I drove down the canyon and bought a pair. I think they are a perfect balance of light, easy to ski and still fun - they still pop. Outside of early season it is my only ski and I don't have any plans to get anything else, it is just a fun ski that I am excited to ski when I have to get up early... The topsheet was a little tail damaged but that was from bouncing around a friends rocket box, other than that no ski damage even after hitting some rocks. Truthfully I'm surprised it has held up this well being how light it is.

True to size and attached to my voile light rail bindings with ease.

Took the V6BC out on soft Spring snow at a nearby closed area. Did not want the hassle of climbing skins for some laps. Climbing up a Blue Trail was fine & I had to Zig-Zag up on steeper sections, but I do that anyway, really enjoyed the lightness w/o skins. But the surprise was the ski down...I was surprised I did not notice a speed loss from the scales, very minor if anything. Even in dicey hard Spring snow, the V6BC was fun & gave confidence to pull off tight turns...this could be the only ski you need! See the video (https://youtu.be/2m48Ewkj_pw).

I have been splitting 22 years. Awesome. These are the best imo-simple n light n easy to clear ice. They are "adjustable" if u have a bic pen and a cutting knife. If the split manufacturer drilled holes wrong and u want to get rid of slop try adjusting pucks outward a little morefirst. If that doesn't work get a bic pen, cut a small ring same height as spacer on outer peg. Remove nut on outside bolt. Put bic pen ring on outside bolt over spacer. Reinstall nut. The bigger spacer brings hook fwd a bit and tightens the board together. Bic pen is perfect size n material for this. Personal ly I don't like it to tight for touring, quicker transitions when iced and doesn't matter when riding powder. I am a big fan of making sure the ptex side of the bolt is low enough/ flush. Oversized drill bit To remove ptex/wood to proper depth.

I recently adapted my splitboard bindings from the light rail system. It was convenient but always found that in ski mode it was too easy for bindings to release, like when you carried them on your shoulder. The conversion kit was easy and quick to install on my tuning bench. In the field it performed well and was quick to transfer. Look forward to seeing the crampons that go with it.

I've used these straps for a wide variety of applications and they exceed my expectations every time. I love the versatility!

ordered these straps to be shipped to Australia, arrived within a week! Our artwork on the straps was perfect. We have yet to put them on our website for sale so can't really complete a review.

I've been riding the BC 162 since it arrived on the scene. This is my third. The board is light, but rides well in most conditions though the bullet hard challenges it (and me). Great in tight trees where I hide from the rest of you. The scales are what keep me on the board (well that and because the folks at Voile have the best customer service, ever). Of course the scales are designed for long flats, but they are also useful for scooching back up onto a ridge or through a short flat. And, for an older beat-up dude, when strapping in at the top of a run, she stays put, which abbreviates that painful experience. You'll see, it'll be you one day. Keep in mind, however, that you will be essentially waxing 4 small skis, making it a bit more time consuming, if you are the tight schedule type.

5 years of use and these are still rocking skis. I have the 184 and am 6' tall. The increased camber over the older Charger (which I had) helps edge hold in firm snow, although they are better in powder. They slarve and float well. I have dented two edges hitting rocks, but epoxy repaired that, and they haven't delaminated since. Very versatile for winter in the Northwest.

I bought these because I wanted some lighter-weight touring skis that also did well downhill. I added Switchback bindings to them. I am really enjoying the lightweight when touring. Very maneuverable. On downhills, they turn well . I wish the drag from the pattern was less, but it is about what I expected given the amount of pattern.

Great service and a very fast turnaround. They look perfect, just what I wanted. Thank you!

Put the small one on your ski pole right above that duct tape stash. You will be surprised how often it comes in handy. These are what the world needed.

I have been splitting utah for 22years w volie skins got these as upgrade and like supporting my local volie. The Good-pack way smaller, lighter, easier to peel, Glue very easy to recover when snow on glue. Maby better glide in flats. The bad. Less tracktion.- Wasatch skinners are often a bit steeper and if it hasn't snowed in a while these don't cut it. I never use crampons but crampons required w these skins Left skin glue not strong enough, glue gets consistently snow dusted. Definitely Not an improvement for my location/mission. I have abandoned these and am back to my orange voile skins. I would not recc these to begginers or for challenging skinners. 2star because glue fails and gotta scrape glue on edge to get snow off every other up since day 2. please bring back old volie skins- they are awesome. Also order shorter ones if close- they run long.

Very durable, responsive, performs extremely well in variety of conditions from powder and corn to hard crust. Excellent binding mounting place, easy and secure mounting

and usually right for all of 'em

I've been skiing these for the past few weeks with Scarpa TX Pro boots and BD Helio Carbon skis, and I'm loving them! I've used them on bumps and groomers in the resort and in all kinds of backcountry conditions including some steep couloirs and slogging through avi debris and variable crusts and heavy snow. Solid, lightweight, and responsive! After making the switch from 75 mm, these definitely feel much more sturdy and active, while also feeling really lightweight and snappy (especially compared to a 'resort NTN' setup). The ski shop that installed these bindings on my skis made a big mistake, but I brought them in to the Voile HQ in SLC and everyone there was super supportive and helpful. They re-installed the bindings properly (free of cost) and I really appreciated the great service. Thank you! "We'll shred til we're dead!"

I purchased 15 pairs of these skins and used them on a 10-day wilderness expedition in Chic Chocs with a group of students. Skins performed amazingly in minus 20 - minus 25 temperatures in powder conditions. Glide, almost equivalent to no-skins. Tail clip did not fit well with Madshus Panorama skis (The groove on the tail of these skis is three millimeters too narrow. As a result clips would often come off, disengaging the tail end of the skins. Clips were also hard to engage in cold conditions and impossible to tighten. (None of the above would be true for day trips, where you apply skins in controlled environment). Overall BD metal clip, used on our BD skins performed better, while Voile skins themselves are much superior

Excellent skins and cutting tool! Light weight, easy to use, and compact. Love them!!

These skis are so dang nice! It's great to not need skins in the rolling terrain! Easy carving, super quick in the trees & icy bumps! Not only that, it was super duper fun ripping past the guy who said "Those skis suck! Slow!" whilst at the resort! I'm going to get the non-BC version so I can go supersonic next time! Thanks for such a wonderful product.

Sweet T. Jumped straight to the top of my favorites. 6’ 160 L fits great

These little inserts are brilliant, adding lots of function to the already functional 3-pin binding. I predict 3-pins will have a new renascence when people rediscover that they are by far the best binding for covering ground, and with a little skill can handle all but extreme down hill. My wife and I have skied hundreds miles over the years on extended backcountry trips in Yellowstone and the Colorado mountains. Our standard set up,: Scarps T4's in hardwire bindings with ice tape, usually without the cables. Wouldn't thing of using anything else.

I recently put these pucks on a new Split board. They are a nice upgrade over the previous design. The instructions are pretty clear and if you have previous experience of setting up your own snowboard this should go pretty smoothly for you. Functionally the pucks worked just like the old ones out on the snow with my Spark bindings.

I bought these skis to replace a much longer and wider BD Starlett ski for tele skiing. These skis delivered as advertised and reviewed. The reviews were spot on. This ski rides in the lift area holding its edge without vibration. In the backcountry of British Columbia I was a bit concerned, but no worries about it riding on/through wind affected snow and powder. Very versatile ski. Mounted with X2 bindings, 154 cm length. I am 107 lbs.

These are the best made straps on the market. Why bother with inferior non US made products. Long as you need them or as short as you want them...

If you're looking for a Wide Ski, this is IT!! The V8s are everything these Reviews say they are and MORE!! I own the V6 BC Skis and skied them last season in Deep, East Coast Powder (24"+) to Windfirm, to Soft-Buttery Spring Powder...the V6s are amazing (see my review), and they are the reason I bought the V8s (I wanted a Nimble Ski for Deep Conditions). Skiing the V8s this season (2022) on new 7"powder, knee-deep powder with firm layer on top, the V8s cut & shape kept me on top, skimming the top layer. But I can't get over how Nimble they are, allowing me to weave through tight trees, and dimpled snow surface contours. And the mass of the ski will get you through chopped snow, crud, and hold an edge when needed as my friend also found out. This friend bought V8s after our trip into the Backcountry (2 weeks ago) and remarked about how nimble he found them. You cannot tell you have Wide Planks, they ski like the V6s with added float! See them in action (https://youtu.be/jmAfPJrW8c0).

This is my third splitboard from voile. They're very durable and the top sheet is resistant. Great look overall and the board is very maneuverable. Deep powder days willl become your best days.

These straps are great for almost anything

This worked perfectly for Burton split and Phantom binding system. For voile slider the channel slider voile offers worked best for phantom setup

Sliders allowed for interface with Phantom system on my voile board A+. I also tried the sliders on my burton channel split, they will Not fit. Hope a button rider finds this helpful.

I really love my voile bindings, they are quite the stuff. Really nice when cruising not too hard terrain. However I did an LVS search training in as voile would call it "rolling terrain" and literally at the first possible moment the heellocks broke. If you think about it, this is not unexpected, first of all it's sometimes hard to see if they are pushed fully inwards. Secondly the piece of plastic, holding the whole binding in place is 4 x 4x 2 mm at maximum. How is this not going to break? Make an aluminum insert, that would def. do!

Just upgraded to some new skins, and it's the best upgrade I've done in years. These are light, work great, and served me very well over a few days on a hut trip straight out of the box. They looked to be a bit short on my 169 board, but I didn't notice any drag from the tail clip attachment plate.

The plastic tail clips do not work well. On a recent trip near Silverton CO (steep backcountry) the tails kept coming off. Had to resort to straps around the skis to keep them on. Others in the party with different brands did not have a similar problem. I wish Voile had a solution for this problem. I wouldn't buy these skins because of the tail clips. BTW- I love my Ultravector and Manti skis.

I tried these with a tech binding and Scarpa Maestrale boots and just loved them. Was on-piste only, lift service spring snow with bumps, firm/steep, and variable corn terrain. These were surprisingly stable at speed (going 42 mph doing all radii of turns), held on the super steep and firm, and danced through the bumps. While I am more of a front-side skier due to conditions/timing these days, I love how light and stable they feel. I'm confident they would be as fun in the backcountry touring as they are for lift service all-mountain. I tried some others last week and these were more stable and held a true carve at speed in comparison. These are under-rated, give them a try.

This is the 3rd pair of these bindings in our house. They cannot be beat and are light years ahead of any NNN-BC system. I have mounted 2 pairs of them on Nordic ice skates with outstanding results. Thanks for continuing production of these classic workhorses!

Strong sturdy materials that accommodate thick soled boots.

I'm 5'10", 160lbs, and ride a 183cm with 22designs Axls. I ski patrol on these skis and appreciate their durability and playful/maneuverable shape every day on the job. From doing rope line work to running toboggans through moguls, the V6's rocker profile lends itself to effortless control when side-slipping and scooting around on medical scenes. In terms of skiing performance, I can just as easily set the edge and tear down groomers without chatter during trail checks as I can swing this lightweight ski around and grip on steeps like High Boy at Alta. They're an easy ski to keep underneath me and just riiiiiide no matter the conditions. The V6 is the ski I grab when I don't know what conditions I might encounter. It's also the ski I grab when I know exactly what I'll encounter.

I'm 5'10", 160lbs, and ski the 177 HyperVector. It's a great lightweight ski with a versatile enough shape for ripping hardpack, getting some float through chop and soft stuff, and quickly getting from edge to edge in the steep steeps. HyperVector is a fitting name as this ski absolutely drives with both speed and direction. They are light and nimble while going uphill on the skintrack and are solid and stable on the descent. And the blue graphic is really pretty to look at.

I've had this board for about 4 weeks now, and I've spent every weekend charging on it. I've been using the speed rail binding system, and the contour hybrid skins. This board rides well in all the conditions I've been able to access in the Wasatch: gnarly solar crust, wind slab, powder. It handles well in narrow tree runs and is dependable when it gets steep. It's a classic one-board quiver shape. I got some funny looks from some clients I was guiding at a Yurt last weekend when I starting trekking off with no skins on. The fish scales seemed like a gimmick at first (I'm a sucker for a gimmick) but have actually come in really clutch when I've had to traverse short, flat ridge hops or with hilly and mellow pitches back to the car that may go up, down, and up again many times. Don't expect it to replace skins, but when you're dreading the many transitions of the day, the scales can relieve some of the jokes your skiing partners will mutter as you motor past them to the next pitch. Also, topsheet rocks. One-board quiver, if you ask me.

I have now skied BC, CC and Alpine with these wonderful skis. Excellent in every context, to the point that I probably will get rid of my current Alpine skis and ski only these. Very stable at higher Alpine skiing speeds and extremely responsive, probably due to the forward location of the boot/binding on the ski and its relative softness. Bravo Voile

Used these bindings over the last week and really put them to the test. They performed extremely well for an advanced level. Solid build, good quality. Customer service went above and beyond to get my order to me in time for my vacation when unexpected trucker protest halted shipments to Canada. I am a very happy customer!

I bought a new pair of 3-pin boots and, even though they were nearly the same (foot) size as my old boots, the soles were nearly an inch longer - too long for the original cables. Bought the 9" cables and I'm back in business again. Great to know that Voile is still around and that they still support my (admittedly) old bindings.

I recently bought my second set of Switchback bindings. My previous pair were 10 years old and just beginning to malfunction. I like the Switchback bindings because they are light weight to help with the climbs. And they are able to power my turns. The staff at Voile were awesome. Very helpful and informative. They were able to mount my bindings, fit them and wax my new skis in a short amount of time. I am thrilled to have my new Switchback bindings on my new Ultra Vector skis.

While I do use these straps for keeping skis together, they work very well for cinching down cleats on my boots. I have occasionally lost a cleat in the past the straps always keep them on, now.

This is a great shovel. It is very ergonomic to dig with, just the right size (big, but not too big), the T-handle is great, and the holes in the shaft are in the right places so snow doesn't get inside and freeze it together. Unfortunately, it has one glaring issue. The handle attachment to the blade protrudes a tiny bit behind the blade itself. This makes it very difficult to get perfectly smooth pit walls. It can make walls that are plenty smooth for stability tests and layer identification, but they're not picture perfect. As an avalanche professional that literally takes pictures of my pits on a daily basis and publishes them on social media this means that I'm back on the search for the perfect shovel. Which is unfortunate, because this shovel is so close.

Great low tech binding. Solid, reliable, will surely survive a couple of pair of skis and many years of backcountry

My everyday workhorse. professional and recreational use must have. much more durable than and user friendly than many of the others I have tried.

You won't know how much you need the scraper until you have it. You will never go back...

I work as a professional ski patroller, ski guide, and big mountain guide: henceforth, I have quite the quiver of shovels I can choose from. I use this shovel for personal ski touring, ski mountaineering, and pounding out sidecountry laps at the ski area. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Sturdy enough for real shoveling and rescue, light enough to carry it everywhere.

These skis have changed how, when and where I ski— for the better. The fish scales are far more efficient than skins, letting me go further with less effort. For exploring low angle terrain in northern New England, these skis are ideal. I paired them with ATK Trafeo bindings and Fischer Carbon Travers boots. I can cruise low angle terrain almost as well as Nordic, while still climbing steeper tracks (with skins). Performance on the downhill is soft (in a forgiving way), and pairs well with the Travers for power transmission. Float is sufficient— these excel in 6-12” , and can still hold their own when it gets deep. My wife was so jealous, she just bought herself a pair! For reference: 5’10”, 190 lbs. 184cm

Longer than previous versions I've had. Used them to keep skis together on a snow coach trip into Yellowstone and they worked perfectly Highly recommended, useful and versatile.

Easy fix to a broken spring. The original was on the binding for over 12 years so it lasted well. My only criticism is that it would be good to offer them in a length shorter than 8", looks like I'm about to get the hacksaw out

I have been replacing Velcro straps with Voile straps on my bikepacking kit. I just made two feed bags and these guys are holding it to the handlebars and stem

I have two sets of hyperglide skins. I have been very impressed with them.

I bought this for its versatility to go from shoveling to being used as a hoe.

Absolutely the best binding for the variable BC terrain of upstate New York. Flats, rolls, climbs, trail downhills--this binding handles them all. Switching tour to downhill modes is easy with the flick of the ski pole.

I really like these poles. They are sturdy. Lightweight. The ice scraper is terrific.

I used them for the first time this week. They are light and very responsive. A delight to ski in.

I have several pair of these on several skis for many years and many miles. They work perfectly. Simply, Sturdy, Light. Too bad its getting harder to find a good 3 pin 75mm leather boot for bc touring. Oh, and the prior red color binding was super cool looking. I think you should bring that back.

I fallen in love with these skis, the best of both world!! The Voilé UltraVector Backcountry with the Switchback X2 binding is a perfect match with my Leather Alico Double Ski Boots…, a Big Thumbs-up!!!

The heel lock needs to be made of something stronger. It broke after one use and after being replaced on warranty, it broke after two uses. This is a design fail that needs to be revised. Please notify me when a stronger replacement part is made.

My boot is a Mondo 28 and my son’s is a Mondo 25. I needed two of these short throw heel assemblies so I can loan him my tele skis. They’re easy to swap out when the toe piece is lifted all the way up in walk mode.

The shape of the V8 is one of the best I have ever been on. This ski can charge hard and remain playful in deep snow. At a feathery 1500 grams, I have no hesitation in taking this ski out on a long tour. Despite the featherweight construction, I have gotten some dingers that really show the supreme durability of skis. 11/10

Simple et. fonctionnel

I love it, the best of both world!! The Voilé UltraVector Backcountry with the Switchback X2 binding is a perfect match with my Leather Alico Double Ski Boots…, a Big Thumbs-up!!!

This binding is perfect for rolling terrain. I decided against the TTS because I didn't like the fact that you had to stop and put on the heal cable. This isn't efficient for rolling terrain. I live in Ontario so I have to constantly switch back and forth between the DH and Touring mode and this is so easy! It is just a flip of the tap. All my other setups I have to take off the ski and that is really annoying. I am sometimes in deep snow and can't really take off my skis. I absolutely love this binding, please keep making it!! I would love to be able to use this binding with a soft boot some day, but I don't know if the boot companies would make such a thing. I can deal with the hard boot if I am not touring long distances, which right now I am not. I can't thank Voile enough for the development of their back country skis and bindings.

This are a perfect backcountry ski for rolling terrain. I live in Ontario so I need a ski that could handle this type of terrain, more than just a regular cross country ski because I also have to go down hills that are as steep as an Alpine ski run but below the tree line. Some of our forests can be quite dense. Voile is the only company that makes a ski short enough with the fish scale pattern. These skis turn well, climb well and descend well. I tried the glide lite but the integrated skins are too sticky. The fish scale pattern is the only thing realistic for rolling terrain. Thanks for making these skis!!!

I live in Hokkaido Japan the Japow Capital . I guide here in the backcountry and have been using Volie splitboards as my main touring board for years. 3 years ago I bought the 180 Hyper Vtail split instant love for this board touring is easy and just eats all terrain from steep and deep to tight trees and crud handles it all with ease ! Looking forward to stepping into the new model and going up to 190 as the 180 rides like a hard 165 or so ! So Im looking for more float and fun ! look out to all my clients they will be wanting to up grade as well once they see how good it is !

We use several of the Voile Buckle straps for many different things. From strapping a jacket to a backpack, securing skies to a rack the lists goes on and on. We like this product so well we decided to included them in our Overland Trailers that we manufacture. They are a essential to our experience for Overlanding. We reaching out to the company with our needs and requests for Co-Branding, they have been prompt and polite and very helpful to get us the products that we need. Sample proofs and final product is spot on. Voile is a great company to partner with and work with.

Bought late fall 2021, and I've finally had these out enough to offer a few thoughts. TL,DR: kind of shocking how good they are for how light they are. So far basically everything I was hoping. PNW, 6', 170lbs, 181s with Backland Tour w/brakes (kids mean resort days) and Dynafit Hoji Pro Tours. I haven't actually bothered with a scale, but I think my setup is now lighter than my kid's 140s based on heft in hand. I had plenty of giggles and hoots in the trees with 6-12" of low temp fresh, though I'll still be grabbing my Drifters for full-on pow days. I was a little concerned about getting kicked around on mank/crud/refreeze, but haven't found it to be a problem yet, keeping in mind that they don't have a layer of titanal. I was somewhat surprised to see that I'd hit 60 on a groomer without feeling too much flap and chatter, but I can imagine a better skier finding a speed limit. Out of bounds, I had reasonable edge hold on a long, icy traverse across a big slope that was hard enough I didn't want to attempt any turns, and they swung around beautifully when I did need to initiate a few scrape-y sketchy jump turns. Obviously going up was only hindered by my legs and lungs. The top sheets did seem to shed snow ok, but they're maybe my only cons at this point - they seem a little easy to chip and nick, and I'd have preferred a simpler, single (not white) color. But if that's tradeoff for skis that are lighter than the water I need to carry for a long day tour then I'm sold.

I had one pair of these for my Ultra Vector BC skis, and decided to buy two more pairs so that I could fit two more pairs of boots, my leathers and an old pair of T3's. My first pair I adjusted for my new T 4's. I turn the springs to the right tension and then I mark them with duck tape so that I don't have to keep taking them on and off depending on which pair of boots I want to use. The wire, cartridge version is easier to adjust while still on the ski. These are not, but they seem to work better for my leather boots and work great for my plastic boots. The only problem I had is that the 8 inch size is still a little too long for my T3's and T4's at a 26.5 size. So I used a pair of cable cutters to get them to the right length. I had to cut off about an inch or an inch and a half on one side of each pair of springs to get the right tension for my plastic 81/2 size boots. This left the spring with the end a bit sticking out and would not wind into the side throw, so I had to use another pair of pliers to bend the end of the spring cable back in so that it wasn't sticking out and I could get it to screw back in. I would recommend Voile should make another size for smaller boots, because this was rather hard to do. Maybe a 7 inch size spring cable. Other than that, I really do like the way these spring cables work.

Took this on a 2 week tent based expedition to Greenland - consistently went missing arond the camp as everyone preferred to dig with this over theirs. and we did a lot of digging, - the D handle does it.

For what I use these for, they are absolutely the best. That is XCD - low angle laps in trees. They aren't really cross-country in any way. They are full-on downhill skis with scales. The design lacks touring efficiency that you might want for XC skiing, but makes up for that in sheer climbing and descending ability, and at a really light weight. They are skiable with leather boots in softer snows. Not a resort ski, but stiff and solid enough to handle rough conditions with plastic boots. The rocker on them is fabulous and they seem to provide a lot of tip pressure in east cost snows.

It's incredible...I own the regular V8 186 cms and Voile guys managed to keep all the qualities of the V8 but lighter. Stable, nimble, fun and easy turning, can ride any snow conditions. The front rocker is perfect, allowing you to ride very deep snow with the combination to hold edge on hard or icy snow. In south of France, recently we had weird temperatures and I had to ride on spring snow and refrozen and finally blue ice in the same run at the end the HyperV8 gave me a big smile and I was amazed how these skis managed everything easily. It's like to have 120 underfoot in powder and 100 underfoot on hard snow. Thanks Voile and never stop the V8s and HyperV8s please.

I have been skiing the Voile TTS Tele Binding on my beefcake Voile V8 boards for about 15 days.  My initial intention in getting this setup was to be able to rock a big ski but also have an ultra light Tele binding setup that still has enough power to drive a big ski like the Voile V8. I have put the TTS binding through its paces on backcountry tours, snowmobile access skiing, and resort skiing.  I found that the TTS toured exceptionally well especially on a super duper deep ski tour on Pennsylvania Creek just south of Breckenridge. Touring with the TTS really lightened the load of skinning with such a big ski as the V8. The tech toe gave me unlimited range of motion, effortless kick turns, and frictionless glide strides. But, it may have lightened the load just a little too much because my backcountry partners had me break trail for 70% of the ski tour after a 2 foot overnight snow dump, LOL!! I think that they were jealous of my setup, LOL!! My real test for any Tele binding is determined by how well the binding performs in the resort on bumps, steeps, crud, and carving groomers. I first tested these bindings in the coastal Cascade cement mountain range in the Crystal and Mt Baker ski resorts in Washington. My experience was that the TTS responded surprisingly quick edge to edge especially given the girth of the V8. The binding rods provided the lateral stiffness needed to drive the Voile V8 ski even in the heavy and wet snows of the Cascades.  And now that we have enough snow in the Colorado backcountry I took the TTS and Voile V8 setup for a snowmobile access day of skiing on Vail Pass. My TTS bindings are setup in the active position with the stiffest cartridges. And wow!! I found that the stiff and active setup made for quick, playful and snappy-happy turns.  Yes, it took just a bit of trial and error to properly align the tech toe pins into the Scarpa TX Comp tech toe holes. Now that I have 15 days on the setup I’ve been able to securely engage the tech toe boot and binding without issue.  One Love,  Tele Mike

Please make a softer variant.

I assembled a few TTS frankenbinding setups this fall. Ordered toes from Skimo.co, cables/cartridges from Kreuszpitze, and heel risers from Freeheelife.com. They work great and they're light, although you have to be pretty committed not just to source everything, but also to mount it. On the flip side, these TTS Tour LT bindings can be ordered complete with one click, they cost more than $100 less than the above described frankensetup, and they're pretty dang easy to mount. The downside? 40 grams. That's how much more they weigh than the frankensetup. No one can notice 40 grams, but everyone can appreciate an easier shopping, mounting, and in-use experience. My only niggle is that to me the springs on these TTS Tour LT's are WAAAAAAY too firm. Give me a softer option, please.

Perfect for waxing it in your garage. Heads up… sold in pairs.

Like many, I was skeptical about the scales...but where I ride, I burn a lot of energy on approaches and struggle to hang with my ski buddies sometimes. I've only got one day on this board, but it was awesome...scales are unnoticeable when riding. But when we hit a trail for the slog out, I was able to quickly switch to ski mode and ski/kick/glide back out. Love it.

Nice to have a turn-key and effective TTS option. Not a huge fan of the big/bulky/klunky heel riser, but the rest of the binding is well thought out and pretty streamlined. I'm 5'/10" and 185#, and I like low activity. But even with the wire in the forward position the combo of spring rate and activity is too high for me. Called Voile looking for lighter springs but they no longer offer them. Still 4 stars from me, even if I have to source those lighter springs elsewhere.

Light, capable, floaty. Really easy turn initiation, and equally easy to lean on the tails for some snap out of the turn. In my dreams Voile would also offer these in a BC fishscale option. Then I'd truly have the one set of skis to rule them all for my needs.

As soon as I got my Vectors I knew I wanted the Vector BC. Fast-forward a few years and I landed a pair of these beauties. They ski every bit as well as my Vectors, with the added benefit of not having to put on skins for the odd creek traverse or low-angle climb to a better line. With AT bindings on them I feel like there's nothing in the Northeast I can't do on these skis. I love the simple look of most Voilé skis, but these are on another level; and when folks inevitably ask what they are, I just say "vwahlay". :-)

I bought this spring set for customize my TTS stiff. Only a couple of run , but they works very well, perfect Activity and stiffness for my weight(60kg). Super fast shipping , Just a week from USA to Italy. Thanks Voilè

Voile made this purchase smooth. There weren’t any surprises . I found the parts I was looking for and following through on the order and shipping was good.

The HD Mountaineer is obviously a great strong binding. However, be aware of a couple of boot fitting points. The binding uses thicker 0.125" aluminum than the earlier 0.100" thick Voile bindings (now called the 201 Telemark 3-pin bindings). I have both bindings. I have found that due to the thicker material, some leather Norwegian welt boots with slightly wider soles than spec may not insert all the way into the binding for proper 3-pin hole alignment. This is not a problem with the 201 binding because there is just a bit more side clearance due to the thinner material. So if you've got these types of boots, check to make sure the boots can slide easily all the way in over the pins before closing the bail. The other thing to be aware of is that the bail on the HD Mountaineer fits boot soles in the 14mm to 19mm range, while the 201 binding will fit 13mm to 16mm and seems to clamp tighter on the narrower soles, which is important. Hopefully Voile will continue to make the 201 binding also, for the lighter-duty boots with the thinner soles. There are several brands of 3-pin touring boots being made with the thinner soles.

The 201 binding is a lighter weight 3-pin binding than the HD Moutaineer, however it is still very strong for most ski touring. It also has a bail that will close down tighter on narrower duck bill soles (about about 13mm to 15mm). That is important to not round out the 3-pin holes in your boots. It will also fit some Norweigan welt boot soles that are a bit wider than spec, which may not insert all the way in the HD Mountaineer binding due to the thicker metal (0.125" versus 0.100").

Although I've only logged two days in the backcountry on this beauty, I'm very happy with it so far. Aesthetics are simple, yet pleasing. White top sheet with a splash of color on the nose and a crystalline pattern on the tail. Basic black base. No loud graphics that contrast with the simplicity and beauty of the backcountry. I'm 5'11'' and 175 lbs and purchased the 162cm length. Noticed the lightweight construction of this board right away on my first ascent - a welcome change from my 10+ year old Burton split. Ride quality is great - board offers plenty of float and surf in powder, is nimble in the trees, and was stable and snappy during "combat riding" on exit. Flexible yet stiff. Channel pucks are a breeze to adjust. Great product and affordable. Thanks Voile.

Wow-light, secure lock, nice feel, smooth motion, multi-functional, beautiful, very handy for bindings and as a scraper. Best poles I have owned over decades, and way cheaper than many. Homerun purchase.

The Revelator is a solid, no-nonsense board that will be competent anywhere. Nothing stands out, but nothing gets in the way either, so you can forget it's there and focus on the rest of your day. It's a bit wider than average, so it floats well in my regular size. It definitely skis a bit wide in the skin track, but it's not a nuisance. Real lightweight which is great on the uphill. My only minor complaint is that the capped construction makes it possible for the edges to overlap each other during assembly, which isn't an issue with a sidewall construction. The scales, though... the scales are amazing. They are unnoticeable on the downhill, and transform rolling terrain from a slog to an easy walk. Forget trying to decide whether that brief uphill is worth skinning or if you should bootpack it, or if you should transition or try to skin downhill after. Just ski up, ski down, and enjoy the view. They're amazing.

These skins grip well on the ascent but did not glide as well as I expected compared to my previous Black Diamond skins. They are very light weight. Initially the skin did not maintain adhesiveness to the base but improved once I started storing the skins attached to each other. The back clips sometimes detach from the HyperVector tail. Overall I recommend taking a couple trial runs with these skins to understand them before setting off on a major tour.

I purchased the 177cm a couple weeks ago and put three downhill AT days and four cross country days in the Oregon Cascades and Mount Shasta areas. Very satisfied with the ski. I put some aggressive steep powder turns on the skis and they handled the conditions well, staying afloat and good energy out of the bottom of the turns. Incredibly solid ski for being so light weight. Really nice not having to use skins on the flats and ski climbs gentle uphill without needing skins.

Great product! Arrived as promised with help from customer service due to USPS mixup

Great product. Arrived as promised with assistance from Voile customer service due to USPS mix up

The combination of the shape and the flex make this a really fun board to ride. It’s the kind of board you forget about when it’s under your feet because it feels so natural. If you’re riding big mountain lines you might want something stiffer, for for everything else this board is perfect.

I've only gotten to take these out once so far since I got them as I just got them mounted. Even though I was nervous because I went from my old pair which was 161 in length to these in the 177 length, they worked great! They're so nice and light that getting used to the longer length seemed easy as I was able to easily lift the ski up to force a turn if I needed to since I'm used to shorter skis. I'm really excited about having the scales as well, so that when I'm doing low inclines, I can get away with not putting my skins back on!

I thought I was never going to go with a skinny ski... but after a few failed trips on my XC skis, I decided to sell them. I saw this Objective BC and decided to give them a try. I wanted some metal edge skis with scales for some specific approaches... so got this and put tech bindings. Super lightweight and great for the purpose. Long traverses and approaches are just so fun now. I didn't have to deal with skins on a recent trip... and they are fun to travel. It's probably not the best ski on soft powder conditions, but it was great on firm, packed trail and hard snow.

Decided to give the Switchback a try as my previous “go-to” tele-binding is no longer in production and spare parts (cables and cartridges) are increasingly difficult to find. The Switchback matched the four-hole setup of my previous binding (all my side/backcountry skis have inserts, just in case), so no need to re-drill. While there is some difference in how the Switchback “feels” (hardwire vs. cable) when dropping a knee, I had no difficulty matching the tele-turns I made on my previous binding. The Switchback is pretty basic when it comes to a “modern” tele binding, which is what I like. It doesn’t have that “stacked” feel or stiffness that many other bindings I’ve tried have. As long as Voile keeps making the Switchback, I’ll keep buying them.

These ski a lot like the V8s but in a more everyday kind of size. Stiff for a rockered ski. Light. Playful. Stable at speed. Floaty. Handle breakable crust. Confident on hardpack. Super fun in powder. A fun, versatile, perfect everyday Colorado backcountry ski. Now, please bring back something like the circa 2011 Drifters for when folks are in the mood for some silly fun!

This is a very reliable binding for backcountry ski expeditions where you are on your own with field repairs and parts and deal with very cold temperatures and bindings chocked with snow and ice. Paired with Scarpa T-4 we use them on month-long expeditions in Arctic Canada each year and have not had a single failure

Like the previous review, I bought this shovel to replace one that I had for years(someone used it as a pry bar for an emergency repair and bent a section). Would have given it a 4 star but the 7"saw blade was shorter than the previous one(11"). I managed to put a new 11 inch saw blade in the old blade holder from the old saw(it was interchangable with the new one). This saw works great for snowmobiling if get a ski hooked on a tree under the snow( you don't have to dig down into the snow because of the long handle)

Haven't tried these skins yet, but I just finished cutting them. I read lots of great reviews about the cutting tool that comes with the skins, however I had a pretty frustrating experience with it. One of the razors was significantly duller than the other, and overall they did not cut well. Left lots of loose threads exposed, and a pretty jagged cut. That being said, this was my first time cutting skins. However I had higher expectations for the cutting tool. Not a huge deal, excited to try these out.

Bought this thing during our mega February powder month and it made me fall in love with snowboarding all over again. Rails long radius turns or swivels like a fish through the trees. Holds it's own in the firm steeps as well. Absolutely a blast of a ride! Plus it came with canted pucks!!!! Voile nailed it with this thing! Also, it's pretty fun to silly ski on. 😂

I’ve been slowly replacing all the Velcro straps on my various bar and top tube bags with Voile straps for a tighter fit with less movement of the bags. The 6” and 9” Voiles have been the perfect length for this.

I mean, it's the raddest hat out there. I've never received so many compliments from a hat.

When looking for an avalanche shovel, the only question you should have is do I want the regular size or the mini size. I prefer the mini for ski touring and I prefer the regular size for camping trips and to keep in the back of the truck through the winter. There is no question that Voile's Hoback shovel is the best avalanche shovel on the market. Period.

Absolutely love the days out when I have my HyperV8 skis. I mean it often means it's a powder day so yeah it's gonna be a good day... but even on the non-deep pow days this is honestly the best ski touring ski I've ever had. Beautifully shaped with perfect dimensions which offers an easy turn yet can charge as hard as you need them to. As a 200 Ibs advanced skier I have always stayed far away from light carbon fiber skis, yet I am very impressed with Voile's Hyper series skis. I'm grateful that they come in a 193cm length for us taller folks. Good quality long ski touring skis are hard to come by.

This has become my go to ski touring ski for any conditions I suspect I may come across on a trip. If it's super deep I'll grab my 193 HyperV8 skis but otherwise it's a no brainer. It has the perfect dimensions I look for in a ski. As a 200 Ibs advanced skier I have always stayed far away from super light carbon fiber skis, however I am very impressed what Voile has done with their Hyper series skis. I do wish they made this and the regular SuperCharger in a 190cm for us taller folks - that would be my ultimate dream ski :)

Super light but super reliable. I got these ski's and immediately put a few big days in the mountains with them and a long ski traverse. They were amazing! For the width of the ski they ski really well and are still pretty fun.

There seem to be more splits at 27 cm wide and up these days, might be time to make these 140-145 cm wide. I love the tip clips, no stitching and clean.

Amazing to me that scales aren't more popular.

Work well. Easy to pull up by sticking you pole tip underneath the risers. Would like to see a single height riser in this style as well.

Coming from always skiing on skinny “ racing “ skis I absolutely fall in love with V6 ! Didn’t notice significant weight on my legs for climbing those hills but definitely noticed more fun on the downhills! Super fun skis very playable and easy to fall in love with! They flow amazingly in deep pow but staying pretty aggressive in the edges as well! Very well balanced ski for skiing all around! Awesome job Voilé! And massive thank you for everything!

I'm quite happy with the HyperManti for an all-around ski when the snow isn't ultra deep, but still requires some floatation (in mid winter, I'll still reach for my Hyper V8s, and in the spring I'll be on Objectives). The Hyper Manti holds its own and stays afloat in powder, but is also a great alternative for crusty or variable conditions. I've gotten knocked off balance in cruddy variable, but the HyperManti made it easy to recover. It holds an edge better than the V8, but is easier to turn than a flat-tailed ski. I find it's inclined to short, poppy turns, but it will also open up if you choose to. Of course, it's light and easy on the uphills. I think the sweet spot for me would be a slightly longer ski (168cm), but the 164 is the best option Voile offers for my size and skiing style.

Received just what I ordered. The product is as expected and of good quality and received in a timely manner. I will most likely purchase more as the needs arise.

This size was just what I needed to keep a Mosko Moto bag on the back of my motorcycle. I looked around town and could only find ones that were too big. Then I went to original source for Viole Straps and found exactly what I was looking for. They are even KTM Orange!

Durable. T Handle packs well. Extends long enough to move serious amounts of snow.

Ordered set of keepers "just in case" to use it on the go in the backcountry on skis, pack, sled etc to hold the strap ends together neatly, and ... it is very hard to use, hard to insert and slide the strap inside the keeper slots as its uber tight, even with bare hands good luck to do it on wind, snow and cold. It completely kills the main features of the Voile Straps - no deployment time. Found very limited and specific use case range. Actually - almost useless on winter. Good idea but bad implementation. Don't waist your money.

Heinous cruxes call for bomber gear. When you are deep in type 3 “fun” with your toddler, chasing them around your house, cleaning up after them and losing your mind, you can rely on 9” voile straps to perfectly lock up your cabinets and prevent that 2 year old terror from throwing all those Tupperware back on the floor. Go ahead and have that 2nd beer! Voile straps will prevent your little one from getting into all those dangerous chemicals under your sink!! No other product comes close to the versatility of the nano. Once you have moved on from the toddler stage, think of all the sweet straps you bought all in the name of “safe parenting”. Don’t hesitate, fill that cart up! The 12” work for linking drawers together as well! Also a great teething tool in a pinch!

Wow! Is what I thought as I slid into my first turns on these and it only got better from there. I love how light they are, especially since I can’t seem to stay away from the fast food and end up slogging some extra weight up the hill that appears to be more or less permanently attached to me. They are dreamy in powder and so easy to ski whether slowly picking your way into a run or flying through a fresh bowl. Lance may say it’s not about the bike, but it really is about the skis, I feel like a pro cutting huge fast flowing turns down beautiful backcountry canvases of virgin snow. Mind blowing fun. I’ve used them in bounds as well, they’re not the best once things get tracked out, but hey that’s not what you buy these for.

With 45 years of free heel skiing under my skis, I have been looking for a light weight setup that would allow me to use a light, free hinged AT boot. I have over 60 days on the TTS with an old pair of yellow Scarpa F1 boots. Three days on hard pack at the resort. Perfect for those of us that want our heels free even if we are not telemarking any longer. I have a 26.0 boot and the binding is still very stiff with the bale on the front setting. I would prefer a slightly more free heel or softer springs, but they still offer the benefits of a free heel. The toe piece has a small learning curve with regards to entry. I find it easiest to put the hinged pin in first and then the fixed pin. Overall a great lightweight sturdy free heel tech binding that allows you to take advantage of the lighter, more hinged AT type boots and still throw a tele turn down if needed.

The Voile Switchback X2 bindings are great in the backcountry. They are easy to switch between walk and ski.

Voile....continually crushes it with their backcountry oriented skis. The V8 can slay powder in the morning and cut up chunder on the exit in the afternoon. It can even hold an edge in those rare Wasatch moments you need to set one. Put a pair of lightweight tech bindings on these sticks and you'll be set for Hokaiddo Nirvana. Just make sure you bring your energy and your stoke. You can spend a lot more money for another Wasatch front ski (did someone say DPS?) that gets a lot of press....or you can save some coin for travel and enjoy a few extra face shots in the process. No question....the V8 will be in my quiver for many years to come. (Me 5'10", 145 #, 176cm perfect length)

I bought this shovel in 1995, and while the color is a bit different, it is the same shovel Voile sells now. I've used it all winter over the past 26 years for all kinds of digging tasks around the house, hacking through refrozen snow, digging out stuck vehicles, building giant kickers for myself and now my kids, etc. I've thankfully never had to use it in an actual avalanche rescue but I have 100% confidence that it wouldn't fail me. It's a big shovel and moves a ton of snow quickly, but doesn't fit in the avy gear compartment of all packs. That's more of a pack issue than a shovel issue, but something to keep in mind. If you like trying new things, don't buy this shovel. If you like bomber gear that does what it is supposed to and then some, this is your tool.

Gram for gram and dollar for dollar, this is probably the single greatest piece of gear I own. The size easily disappears into any pocket, yet gives enough grip for chipping off the thickest ice chunks that have somehow appeared on your bindings or the bottoms of your skis. The pointy tip cleans out tech-toe inserts and the "L" notch scrapes two edges of iced-up splitboard puck at the same time. The angled edge works amazingly as a squeegee to pull streams of water out of waterlogged skins. I keep a scraper in each pair of pants I wear for any winter activity and have given them to all my touring partners and kids. They have saved the day countless times and I never leave home without one (or two). Buy five. Best ten bucks you'll ever spend on backcountry gear!

If you've got yourself a Voile V-tail, you are clearly a person who appreciates the finer things in life. Luckily these skins give you a similar effortless glide on the uphill as the overhead pow barrels you enjoy on the way back down. The tip and tail fit the V-tail perfectly, but unfortunately are not at the same angle as the "standard" Voile split skins. That's OK. The V-tail deserves her own set anyway. Voile could have created some kind of heavy, grabby, non-glidey nylon skin for the V-tail, but no. They care, and used Pomoca skin fabric, arguably the best in the game. Thanks, Voile!

I had a set of orange nylon Voile skins that lasted me nearly ten seasons, so when they finally started to fail I decided to take a chance on these and get some of the glide I was used to on my super-threadbare orange carpets, but with some actual grip mixed in. They are a revelation! Grip is nearly as good as full nylon, even on icy East Coast tracks, and the glide is simply amazing. Touring with friends now often breaks into two groups: those that have "gone green" at the front and those who haven't bringing up the rear. They are supple and pack way smaller than full nylon skins, but somehow they seem to hold up to skinning over rocks and logs, through streams and gravel crusted snow just as well. They might be Pomoca efficient, but they're Voile tough. The tip loop is bomber and the tail is quick to adjust to different board lengths in my quiver (except the V-tail) and has only ever popped off in the thickest of 'schwack. I've used them for three seasons in conditions from -25F to 50F and the glue has never failed me.

I ordered a 15" set of these hoping to covert the skins from my 165-166 splitboards to cover the extra length of my new 180 Hyper V-tail. While they indeed make the skins long enough, the angle of the nose hooks are entirely different for regular vs. V-tail boards, so my plan for one set of skins to rule them all unfortunately didn't work out. This isn't really a knock on the product itself (I'll put them to use for something eventually!) but I thought other customers with similar schemes might appreciate the tech tip.

I've climbed and worked for years on bigger non-technical mountains/routes (Denali, Logan, Aconcagua, etc). I was heading back to Logan to work this year, and having not been super happy with my ski setup in the past for routes like this I decided to go with the Hyper V6 BC. It was EXACTLY what I had hoped it would be. The underfoot scales kept me from putting my skins on as often as my climbing partner (with many many days of long moderate slogs, the scales gave enough traction even pulling a ~60lb sled for all but the steepest slopes). And, I found almost no decrease in downhill ski performance due to the scaling underfoot - though consider that I use this setup on big mountain expeditions where pack and sled loads are large. Nonetheless, I was blown away by the ski's ability to deal with both powder and hard icefall crud. I agonized over whether to go with the BC version or not before returning to Logan this year, and for ski traverses or big mountain expeditions like Logan, BC is the way to go. FYI, I use the V6 BC skis with Dynafit Speed Radical bindings, and Dynafit Hoji Pro Tour AT boots (with HV Intuition Pro Tour liners). The ski + binding work well with AT-specific overboots as well, which is key on 20k foot peaks! Finally, the perfect ski for my high-altitude needs ;) Thank you Voile!!!

I'm a three-pin diehard for all types of ski touring, and these bindings are the epitome of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The mount up easily, work flawlessly, and last and last and last. They're substantial enough to handle tele turns with less-than-perfect form and the several different clicks of the bail allow them to mate well with duckbills of varying thicknesses, from T3s to leathers to light XCBC boots. It would be wonderful if Voile included climbing wires for the heels instead of selling them separately, but then they wouldn't be quite so affordable. And, if I'm honest with myself, I rarely raise the wires anyway unless I'm putting on the skins.

I've been a hard boot evangelist for more than ten years, and have tried everything from the original Voile mountain plates, to Dynafit toe pieces, Spark tech toes, and now finally these bad boys. I'm a Voile superfan, and have great trust in the "simple, solid, backcountry" ethos. A Voile avy shovel I bought in 1995 is still in my pack today! When I first came across these I knew I had to try a set. The toes are the critical piece of the package, and I'm happy to report that they set up easily, are super simple to use, and that I've never pre-released despite plenty of heinous icy side hills, creek crossing, and general abuse. The fit and finish is not quite up to the impeccable German standards of Dynafit, but then again there are no springs to fail and they take up significantly less space on the board. Compared to Spark's tech toes I'd choose the Voiles. I'm leaving 4 out of 5 stars because the new heel risers, despite the ingenious adjustable slots, have the wires in the wrong order. I use the low wire every tour but hardly ever the high wire. Unlike Voile's other climbing wires, I usually have to raise first the high wire, then the low wire, than lower the high wire. If the low wire was more accessible with a typical pole handle, or better yet pointing backwards, these would be perfection.

The ice blue color matches my skis and entire kit. That's not the only reason why I ski these bindings. They are perfect for all mountain exploration. Going up? Perfect. A long traverse? Got that covered. Tele turn? Drop that knee as low as you could. Parallel Turns? Go for it! Snowplow? No problem.

First, kudos to Voile for taking a chance in bringing such a niche product to market. Snowboarding is such a groupthink sport that something like the Rev BC doesn't even compute for most of their potential customers. But those who think freely, don't care about bro-ing down in the parking lot at the main trailheads, and instead seek the solitude of reclusive, hard-to-get-to stashes, know that the Rev BC is a secret weapon and a ticket to untracked turns long after everywhere else is blown out. I have two other splits and don't take the Rev BC out every time. If it's just straight up a skintrack and straight back down, this board does great, but doesn't necessarily shine brighter than it's quiver mates. It is very light, and it's shape and layup make it strong and stable, capable of charging hard and handling all kinds of snow. Skins are necessary for most typical skin tracks, and they go on and stay on just fine. The scales make essentially no difference there. Where the Rev BC shines is on long flat or rolling approaches and exits to oft-neglected zones. There, the difference in speed is incredible--probably 50% faster than slogging with skins. Getting to several of my favorite local spots are greatly aided by zooming at XC skier pace rather than typical splitboard pace. Once it's time to really climb, I've experimented with keeping the skins off and can comfortably make it up just about anything by setting a lower angled track. Lapping little 500' vert slopes without ever putting on skins is incredibly quick and satisfying, especially with a hard boot setup. Bindings go on a carabiner on my waistbelt and I don't even take off my pack at transitions. Descending, I don't feel the scales at all in powder, a little bit in corn, and I hear the on hard frozen crust. The only reason I'm giving the Rev BC 4 instead of 5 stars is that the scales make riding switch pretty much impossible. I rarely ride switch in tight trees anyway, but sometimes a switch turn or two is really helpful to get out of an extra tight spot. This is a tradeoff I'm happy to accept for the joy of miles of frictionless touring, but should be noted.

This is a combined review for this binding and the 180 BC Vector which it is mounted on. I have tried to make the transition to alpine touring because of my gradually advancing age and weakening knees but I keep coming back to telemark as my preference. I have used this setup for several seasons on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies and I love the responsiveness of the skis and their ability to withstand a range of conditions. In the powder I truly feel like I am floating and don't feel the need to go with a wider ski (I believe they are about 96 mm under foot). The BC Vector has the fish scales which I have found have limited functionality except on shallow slopes and softer conditions. The bindings are solid as well. One frustrating part is that the heel piece on my bindings only came with a single, short climbing wire so my ascents aren't as efficient as I would like. I consider the longer climbing wire to be essential. I was having some challenges with control a few years back and then I tightened up the hardwire and the skis became considerably more responsive. I have never had any problems with the hardwire or the 3-pin system apart from the odd bit of snow build up in the toe piece. I do like having the option of having my toe locked in tightly without having to use the hardwire. Having said that, my ski buddy uses the SwitchbackX2 telemark binding and he can put on and exit his skis a lot quicker than I can. The quick exit is possibly a consideration in avalanche country. I am considering the Switchback X2 for my next purchase. All in all, I love this combination and Voile will be my first choice when considering additions to my telemark quiver.

I've been snowboarding since the 90's and have lusted after a big gun swallowtail for just about as long. Last winter with COVID lockdowns swirling, I finally bit the bullet and ordered a V-tail 180 for the deep days. I live in Vermont and figured I'd take this bad boy out a handful of times a year, relying on my other splits (Spartan 166 and Revelator BC 165) for more "normal" tours. The first time I stepped onto the V-tail, however, that all changed. Not surprisingly, this board floats incredibly in deep powder. You know that just by looking at it. What surprised me was how light it feels on my feet in tour mode, how well the balance and extra length helps skinning through tight 'schwack, and perhaps most of all, how well it holds an edge and rips turns on hard snow. My main solid board is a Jones Hovercraft 164, and the V-tail 180 has the same sidecut radius, making it feel instantly familiar. If you like hauling ass and dragging a hand on every carved turn, definitely consider adding a V-tail to your quiver. It will spray huge pow plumes out the back when it's deep, and it will make a surprise fresh 4" feel like a foot. It doesn't feel huge at all, even in tight trees (at least not compared to my usual 164-166 boards) and it tours better than any other split I've had the pleasure to click into. Two quibbles: first, the size chart suggest 200lbs as the top for the 180 size. I weigh 200 and with pack and gear am pushing 220 at least, more on overnight tours. I do wonder just a little what the 190 feels like, but don't feel that I'm overpowering the 180 at all. There's clearly a psychological barrier with any board over 170, but if you're in my weight range, I can recommend the 180 highly. Second, the graphics are not my favorite, although they do look better in person than online. Voile has kept the same (more or less) graphic style for years now, and I personally feel like a few nice solid colors (like my old Mojo 171!) would be a better fit, but hey, whatever. Most of the time I'm riding the V-tail all I'm seeing is face shots anyway.

Despite the amazing price (especially for a made-in-USA-board), Voile does the Spartan a disservice by marketing it as a beginner board or an alternative to a DIY split. This board plain rips. The shape not only floats effortlessly in pow with the huge nose, partial rocker, and taper, but carves seriously hard on less ideal snow. The tight sidecut and medium flex are a bit unusual in a direction freeride shape like this, and I think that is part of what makes it so quick and versatile. I like it so much I'm on my second one! The durability is top notch--I beat on it in East Coast low tide backcountry conditions--but I had a chance to hook up a friend just getting into splitting with a cheap used setup and bought myself a brand new Spartan 166 instead of another more "premium" option from Voile or other brands. Bomber construction, perfect shape, no gimmicks, quintessential Voile. My only nitpick is that the newest version has bit more pattern on the topsheet than the original. It's fine, but I really dig the plain white/plain black aesthetic of the OG Spartan.

Durability: I've had this board for maybe 5 years now and it's still works. The edges are delaminating as you would expect on a board this old, but it's still usable. Bindings are the original Voile bindings that have held up over several crashes both in ride mode and tour mode. Durability I would say deserves 5 stars. Performance: This board is stiff, which works well to hold an edge on hard packed snow and moving fast in powder but I wouldn't call it poppy or playful. I'm sure it's gotten better but it is also quite heavy so don't expect to compete with skiers up the skin track. I would give performance 3 stars. Overall: Build quality is good which lead to a highly dependable board, but don't expect to be quite as nimble as other boards out there.

Tried & True. Where it all began for me. I have skied these bindings for many years and have never been let down by this setup. Once I found this binding, I have not skied another binding. Until I won a pair of Switchbacks at a Utah Avalanche Forecast Center fundraiser. Thanks for making a great "old school" binding.

These bindings are great! Excellent quality and features are easy to use.

The Switchback for me remains the gold standard in neutral telemark bindings for those of us who like to go low. Reasonably lightweight and durable. As long as Voile keeps making them, I'll keep buying them.

I Love my Women's Voile Lightspeed Bindings!! I typically do not like anything for Women in snowboarding. I ride hard in the backcountry and typically have to use men's boards, bindings, etc. I am 5'8" and for some reason ski shops never carries anything in my size. I was looking at the Men's Sparks bindings and the size I needed was sold out. I was really hesitant to buy a Women's Binding for fear it wouldn't hold up but, I have loved my Voile Lightspeed Bindings!!! They are so easy to switch back and forth, they are very lightweight yet have the response that I am looking for, and I haven't had one issue with them. When I demoed the Men's Sparks Bindings about 3/4 of the way through my tour my toe strap came off. I got lucky it wasn't too far back on the trail. I assumed it was because it was a rental. Since then my husband and a friend of ours who both ride the Sparks bindings have lost their toe strap multiple times. I have not had any issues like that with my Voile bindings and I am completely happy with them. I would highly recommend them for women that like to ride hard and want something they can rely on. I have a size: 9 shoe and the Mediums fit great! I love the purple color, it looks sick on my Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro Splitboard!! Thanks Voile for making a Women's product that rocks!!

Incredibly versatile.... I own a full range of AT gear and find myself often on my Objective BC's... And I ski over a 100 days every winter - enough said 😁

Mount these on any pair of Voile BC (fish scale) skis, and some light weight tele boots, and you have the best killer set up for backcountry touring and rolling terrain.

These skis are the bomb for rolling backcountry like we have here in Vermont. A few people I've gone out with said they were the best performing ski for our terrain and conditions. I was skeptical so I went and bought a pair for my self. They were right! And on top of that, no body makes a ski with these specs and the shallow rise. So there is nothing else like it!

It's all been said before, but I'll let you in on the real secret of the Hyper-V : this board crushes weak layered continental snowpack with ease. That means in shit conditions you can still float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Go big with the sizing - you will not be disappointed.

V8’s wide shovel rides high in powder, rips zipper crust with ease, and surfs creamy corners in all the snow conditions that the Washington Cascades and BC coast ranges serve up. Top to bottom these affordable light-weight boards are a great all around ski for charging the corduroy, riding the side country, and hauling deep into the backcountry. I’m not exaggerating, these wide boards are a great all-around ski for those who can really afford merely one pair of skis.

Paired these skis with Voile switchback tele bindings. Light, responsive, hold a good edge and the front tips plough away the heavy spring slush effectively. Uphill movement is easy, provided the snow isn't too wet or slick. Very happy with my purchase, now off to take them for a spin!

This is my second pair of low tech tele bindings and I split my time pretty evenly between lifts and skins. Have been a knuckle dragging freeheeler for 25 years mostly in New Zealand's maritime snow pack. The Voile TTS appealed because of the overall simplicity and ‘proven’ components from Voiles back catalogue coming together in one sweet package. This seemed like a good case of thinking smarter not harder - Love it. I also appreciated the cables being fixed rather than removable. This seemed like a great idea on my previous low tech setup from another supplier but actually just makes them easy to drop or lose time trying to find them in the bottom of your pack. I mounted the bindings myself following the included template and it was no easier or harder than any other jig free mount I have done. This is much appreciated for those of us in faraway countries with no local shop selling Telemark equipment let alone the know how to install or maintain it. When buying these bindings I noted my boot sole length (Scarpa TX Pro - Mondo 28.0) as 316mm which means I am in a no mans land… and have to make the buying decision of Medium or Large binding based on wether I wanted the binding to feel Active or Neutral. I went L to get the Neutral feel, but would have appreciated the chance to change binding feel at some point. Maybe Voile could consider 4 size breaks rather than 3 to remove this? I also believe that the cables on the L binding do not go short enough to get the correct forward pressure (3-6mm between an etched line on the spring cartridge and plastic collar when the heel lever is engaged) on the springs as described in their Binding Instructions for a BSL of 316mm. The most I can get is less than 1mm. I have had 2 pre - releases (heel lever falling off the back of the boot) in the first 3 days of use. I’d love a set of M cables please ; ) I was surprised to see the width of the toe when they arrived. Our maritime snowpack can be kinda firm and the powder is often easier to measure in decibels than cm’s so a ski 90mm-ish underfoot works well… But that leaves at least 8mm or so hanging over the edge. I’m old enough to have had 30mm risers for my 75mm boots to stop boot out when trying to make skinny skis bite on the hard pack… but now we can go wider not higher. So I bought a pair of skis at 107mm under foot. I suspect I could go as skinny as 100mm underfoot. Any less than that and I’d be worried that the pin that cams into place would not have enough pressure under it to hold the pin in the boot. Once the bindings arrived and I spotted the issue I did try asking Voile via social media, and also the shop I bought them from what the minimum width ski was for this binding, unfortunately no reply from either. I realise this is a legacy of Voile using a toe from the world of split board touring where the split boards are much wider than any ski. Maybe Voile could include a minimum suggested ski width in their product description? Following a tip from the “Dost-father” of Telemark rolling the boot into the pin that cams shut and then closing the toe worked well, once you are in they ski like any solid wire tele binding. Enough even to hold a fatish ski on edge and carve a turn on hardpack. The Stiff spring is bonkers stiff… probably too stiff IMHO even in the Neutral position for anything other than a World Cup racer. I simply cannot imagine how the tip of the trailing ski will not get so much pressure that it dives into deep snow and the rider goes over the handlebars… that said I haven’t had a deep day to test this yet. I’ll look to buy a normal set of springs when they are in stock again. I’ve spent a day skinning with this setup and they feel just as good as my previous low tech setup. We tend to use ski crampons a lot here and I needed to pickup a new very wide set to fit over the fixed cables. I was riding a T-bar with a friends young son… his ski drifted acros

By far the best strap I have used, and with the “off duty bra model” tag line made it even better! Love the customs voile! Keep up the good work!,

These bindings may not be your first choice for resort skiing with 4 buckle boots, but they shine for multi day back country touring combined with two buckle boots. Very light weight yet reasonable controllability. Time tested master piece!!

I have this pair of Vector BCs, mounted with Voile Swithbacks, and they are fantastic for tooling around back in the woods but can handle a descent - best of both worlds. I have SuperChargers I often take for skinning, but these handle just as well as the the Super Chargers and then you have added benefit of not having to put skins back on if there is some light uphill. They are soft, so in some crud you might want stiffer skiis, but for most part these cover all the bases. They turn so nicely, with just a little lean and the float, but they aren't too wide to feel like they are knocking each other around. If I could only have one pair of skiis, these would be it.

First of all, I’m glad that Voile serves short people. I’m 5 feet tall, and finding the pair of the right length for the adult is always the challenge. Having an option of 153cm is incredible!! I’ve got the pair 2 years ago, and since having wonderful time on these. The fish scale is handy for touring through the rolling terrain and logging road access with ups and downs. I’ve got tele bindings on and skiing the powder is such a pleasure next to none!!! The fish scale bottom slows down a bit, and need steeper slope. It’s important to wax the fish scales. Both liquid wax and hot wax (with a rug to soak excess) works to keep them afloat. Otherwise you’ll end up with a massive snow ball under the foot in the spring snow.

This straps make bike pack packing a breeze. The rubber won't scratch your frame and the stretchy straps make it really easy to secure your gear to your bike.

I needed to replace the velcro straps of my bike handlebar bag as they were too thick and took up too much valuable space on my bar. These straps are just big enough to do the job and work great. Very happy with my purchase.

As a Senior NSP Ski Patroller and Nordic PSIA Ski Instructor, I've had the opportunity to ski a wide variety of ski brands. I was fortunate to rent the Voile Manti skis mounted with 22 Designs Outlaw NTN bindings during a March trip to Utah. I tested them in a wide range of varying conditions, from over 2 feet of fresh powder to afternoon Spring conditions (corn and crud). They performed flawlessly. I found the skis to be versatile and responsive, confidently carving tight turns to handling the bumps. felt that I could push them hard, but they were also forgiving, I could not have been happier. I wound up buying them. And I am looking forward to using them in the Northeast.

I had the V8’s before the V6’s. Loved the V8’s so much I decided to get the V6’s for resort, bcountry touring, etc. perform great in pretty much everything I’ve put them through - my go-to setup with 22 Designs Lynx, lightweight, great setup.

These straps are like bungee cords except so much better. Secure anything to your rooftop rack or your bicycle, or anything else for that matter. So useful for so many reasons.

Hi, I use these straps to hold stuff on my plus bike. My tool pouch has been secured with these for over 10000 km and no signs of needing replacement. I wish that I could say the same about other purchases. Great product!

... I say that even though I also own a pair of V8s which won 5 awards and which I love for deep days in big mountains. But even though my V8s rule in knee-deep, the Ultras are still my off-piste do-it-all favs. They give me the option of tele or parallel, they crud bust, they carve up peanut butter and cream cheese mank, and they fly down boot-top pow. They're responsive, secure and poppy (more so than previous Vectors ). With a light tele boot and Switchback X2 bindings, they make a fast classic style Nordic ski, especially for backcountry hits from snowsled tracks. And they have edges that hold surprisingly well on hard sidehill skin tracks. Best of all, they're forgiving on on the down because they're damp. I'd love to have a second pair without scales however in spring corn snow the scales are faster, probably because the scales cause underfoot melting and aeration reducing stiction. The Ultravector re-defines classic, skate, alpine,tele, backco, cuz they're light and stiff and they do it all. I weigh 160 and rock the 171s. My wife's 112 and she digs the 154s. It's her fav ski too!

I have quite a few days on my hyper V6 BC kit and I couldn't be more happy - awesome powder ski and the fish scales let me ski sometimes for an hour without skinning up - and the V6 ski is the most fun ski I have ever experienced. I like camber - and the V6 has it - and this ski turns effortlessly - I have the HyperV6 BC for my first AT kit - and would still consider the V6 for tele and/or the V6 Hyper (not BC) for a second AT kit - not just a quiver of one but a ski shape for the whole quiver!

I started backcountry skiing last season so I don’t have many other skis to compare these with, however, I am incredibly happy with my purchase. These skis are great! The scales are the best invention on a ski ever! While my friends have to spend time skinning up for small climbs, I just walk my way to the top. You won’t be disappointed if you purchase these!

I have had v6 skis with 22designs outlaw bindings for 3 seasons and love the set up. They ski all terrain all season. Couldn’t be happier

These do everything I need from a tele binding.

This split kit was so easy to use and install. It helped me turn an old board into a split board so I could get out with my husband and try it before I decided if I loved the sport. It has been great and held up so well! 10/10 would recommend!

Nice fabric. Comfy. True to size. Your friends will appreciate the subtle humor. Friends and strangers in the community will feel kinship.

I came late to the party but have 2 shortened Telemark seasons on these wonderboards. They provide the float and bounce to stay top on everything from Utah champagne to Mammoth wind buff, on a platform that provides the control needed for narrow chutes on alpine ice and dropping cornices into mixed conditions. Sure afoot and ready for anything.

Have had this for the same length of time as a famous competitor. The Voile tube has kept its shape and has not pilled.. more than I can say for the competition.

Buy a handlebar mounted roll holder for $200 or buy two of these? If you have wide enough bars, and are carrying something vaguely stiff (I carry my tent) these will hold it there perfectly!

Yes they have a million uses, yes you already know what you’ll use them for but trust me, get more! I have a spare bucket of various sizes on hand and they always come in handy!

My first experience with scaled BC skis was with the Karhu Guide’s with tele bindings and those turned out to be the best exploring setup I’ve ever owned. Having since switched to AT I was unsure how these would do now that I don’t tele. I am 6’2” 175lbs without a pack and I went with the 177 length. I first put first a Salomon Mtn binding on but now have the heavier yet amazingly easy switch-to-tour ability of the Fritchi Vipec Evo’s. Not having to pop out of the pins when switching modes is a needed function on these skis in my opinion and is as close to the tele setup that you can get. The HyperVector BC’s have a lot less camber than those Karhu XCD’s and ski a lot better up and down. Compared to the Hyper V6 skis, the HV’s are noticeably stiffer and have a more rearward mount point which results in a different style of skiing than with the V6’s. I have the 183 Hyper V6 also, non BC version, and comparatively they feel more centered or forward mounted. The HV’s hold an edge well and are easy to jump turn and pivot, and the rearward mount and early rise tip does help keep them afloat in soft snow. Like all the Hyper skis they are super light and because of the scales feel weightless on the way up with no drag on each step forward. This cannot be overstated. You don’t realize how much forward drag there is on even mohair skins until you try scaled skis. For their uphill prowess, I measured they can grip up to about 15 degrees on a packed skintrack in maritime Sierra snow, and up to 20 degrees in the best conditions. It helps to have the trail packed to decrease the effective angle of the ski so if you’re breaking trail expect that maximum approach angle to decrease some, depending on snow density. For higher density snow these skis make my skins almost obsolete for touring and allow me to cruise up long approaches without having to stop and de-skin for any rolls in the trail. They are so fast on approaches it feels like cheating. You’ll definitely slip some and try to keep the skins off for as long as possible, but that’s part of the fun of scaled skis - pushing them to their limit. Once I’m at the base of the hill I want to ski, the skins go on like any other ski and they grip the pattern fine. In melt/freeze conditions like spring the scales do have a bit of a downside in my experience. In the morning when it’s icy on a packed trail or over crust they are a little noisy and don’t grip well, and when I’m heading home they can ice up just like a skin on the way up. I have some high temp glide wax now (Maxiglide) in my pack to coat the scales before heading down and that has helped. They also can be grippy on wet snow, similar to non-scaled skins when there is water on the surface and your wax is rated lower than 32 deg F…they can feel sticky on the downs as they cross a wet patch. In general, they are a little slower on the downhill unless it’s soft snow (pow or corn). But following a buddy without scales put it in perspective, I didn’t get dropped by as much as he thought I would. As someone else noted, these are definitely a quiver ski. I bring them out when I don’t know how the conditions will be or when I want to explore a new area in good conditions. A between-the-storms ski. They’re awesome when other skis would be overkill - they are the XC hardtail of the ski world. You’d be silly to shuttle them at a resort, but the more rolly a course the better decision you’ll have made. If you expect the grip of a skin and the slide of a non-scaled ski then you’ll dislike them. But if you give them a chance you’ll be surprised at how far they take you and with less effort. They’re just really fun skis.

This (and all Voile straps) have been an absolute game changer for me. I started using them to fix things to my forks for bikepacking but now I use them everywhere! My best tip, put one or two in any of your repair kits, go- bags etc.. I can’t tell you when, and I can’t tell you how, but you’ll need them!

Hey all, I've had my V8s for many years (from before there was such a variety of skis to chose from). I've been an avid ski mountaineer for a long time. The V8 is a great ski, I bought it for powder but it works in variable snow just as well. Typical for Voile, the gear holds up for a long time :) take care, have fun, stay safe out there!

Hi all, after another year of riding, here is another view of the Ascent Split Board. The Ascent works super well going uphill, is easy to change over as well. If your preferred descent type is going slower in tight trees, the board works really well for that. You can initiate a turn from almost standing. If you are going too fast in bad snow, you can overrotate or dig in, and at least in my experience the Revelator works better for those riding styles. However, I would not call the Ascent a beginner board[and who would want a "beginner" whatever anyways...]. Its definitely cool to make fast laps up a local hill with the Ascent. Below is my review from a year ago, copied in. Have fun, stay safe! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Voile Ascent Board is aptly named indeed - it makes skinning uphill as swift as cross-country skiing. At least it made me think of cross-country skiing, since going uphill suddenly felt so effortless with my new "ascent" board. I have the 158. Transition is really easy and works flawlessly (if you've had a splitboard for a while, things have improved significantly). I got my first splitboard over 20 years ago, a Voile Mojo and about the second round of those ever made. Going down, the board is quick edge-to-edge and you can ride switch easily in tight trees, as the description already says. In open terrain and especially in crappy snow it is noticeable that the board is rather soft, so if you normally ride a stiff and fast board (like me) you have to be careful not to use too much force. Its a good board for quick stints up the hill and rides easily.

Theres a bit of a learning curve with fish scale BC skis. I happen to live somewhere where these skis make a lot of sense. Mellow approaches to powder & corn stashes are too easy. Aim for a setup with minimal transition and you have a killer BC setup.

Hi all, after another winter of riding [albeit much worse snow than the year before] I'll still say that the Revelator is a good no-nonsense board to grab if you're not sure what the day will bring. It'll be a good day with the Revelator. I'm also including my review from 2020 here - which has a lot more technical info for those of your trying to decide between boards. snowboarding is awesome! I'm actually a woman who has been splitboarding for decades and I ride exclusively "men's" gear. One more reason to like the non-gender specific Voile gear, same for skis. ------------ the 2020 take at the Revelator ---------------------------- The 2019/20 Revelator is a great all-around board. It's really light (weight is practically same as Ascent, while according to spec sheet it weighs 100g or so less; I weighed the boards and couldnt really tell, to within the measurement accuracy of the scale). Let's just say it feels really light. I ride the 159. (Hey there at Voile - why isnt there a 157? But a gap in sizing between the lower range ending at 154 and the higher range starting at 159). Going up is easy, edge hold on ascending traverses is alright. Change-over is easy as well, the equipment now is much more precise and thus easier to operate than years ago (I got my first splitty, a Voile Mojo, about 20 years ago, and things have come a long ways. Also compared to, say, 5 years ago). The board rides really well in all sorts of snow, including crappy spring snow, hardpack and such. The board is stiffer than the Ascent, which in my experience means, it can be controlled more precisely and it's faster. This may be personal preference, but I like to ride technical terrain, tight trees and steeps relatively fast. The board also carries well across exit flats, meadows and such. In all, plenty of reasons to grab the Voile Revelator when out on an exploration (now that I have a small quiver. I used to have just one splitty for a long time). Its really dependable and versatile so you'll always have a good day with it. Not that I'm into sales slogans, but it made me think "simple - solid - backcountry". I have used boards from other companies, both split and solid. Of course a high-end solid board rides best on the descent. However, I'm really positively surprised how well this board rides. Another advantage of Voile gear is - they do not make gender-specific stuff (only the color is different, so be it). Anyone doing a market comparison will notice the price is comparatively low. Enjoy!

Living in NJ you don't come across a plethora of split board opportunities. We don't have access to huge backcountry powder fields above tree line, or off piste bliss access from our resorts. What we do have is ice, and a mountain collection that is not all too ready to accept someone going up their mountain not under their control. I bought this kit last year made my own splitboard and reopened my eyes to what I love about snowboarding. The process was easy enough, and not only did I feel proud of my scrappy piece of work, but it actually worked! Highly suggest this product to anyone who wants to do some DIY, and has the itch to beat the lines and actually earn some turns.

OMG I only have a few hours to submit this for Voiles contest. I've had the joy of skiing Voiles for over 20 years of my 62 years of skiing. If you want to smear and slay deep pow the V8 is god like; but so is the V6 , you'll just be a bit deeper. In the pow, but have a big approach? The Objective will do it for ya, yup you'll be a bit deeper but the face shot will be superb. In a couloir, in a no fall zone, need edging power? Any of these will do the trick and deliver a stable confident edge. Chucking a bomb and got to move away fast, Charger BC will give you the scramble. Summary? Don't over analyze or over think it just get on a set of Voiles

I got these to tie my skis together because they are a little lighter and more compact. I use the other fatter straps for when I need some more oomph.

Paired with T2's and V6 BC for a BC powder setup. Unhook the cable for the approach. Switch boots to ski, throw the cable over the heel and ready to go. 3 pin still has its place.

Tour across Yellowstone? Check! Tele turn you way back from a fire tower? Check! The Birkie? Check! Leathers to synthetics, there really isn't a better choice for 3-pin skiing. I like to keep the heel strap on me for that extra control when you top out and need to drop onto a frozen lake in the BWCA or when you decide to hit some powder off the backside of groomed nordic trails.

Scales. That's all I have to say. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard a fellow skier say "I don't really see the value in scales." only to follow up at some point with "I can't believe you can get up that without skins.", I'd buy another pair of these! For those on the fence, you won't be disappointed. For those who think they are slower or noisy, all I can say is I don't agree. For much of what I ski, they are the unicorn.

The Supercharger has never failed me in any situation I have found myself in on them. My very first impression with them on my feet was, how light they are and how nicely they travel. At the top of a line they immediately do their thing giving reassurance after anxious anticipation. I can highly recommend the Superchargers. I've even went as far as setting up my woman on a pair of her own- possibly putting at risk a good relationship, but that risk has been rewarding for both of us. This board in my mind has become a classic as few ever do. I encourage Voile to keep it in the line and promote it heavily as it is a fine ski for everything from it's intended use- champagne powder fluff- to adverse conditions like icy hardpack. They're easy, effortless turners and stable at high speeds. I enjoy a good stable ski that edges. These do. Super sweet is the bottom line.

Turn initiation is super easy even with my sloppy backseat form. The skies help me to look like a better skier than I am, especially in the trees.

This shovel is light, tough, and packs well. My wife and I have been using them for years. We also always pack them in the truck so the kids can use them in the snow when we are resort skiing.

Switched from Jones Solution to the Spartan Ascend last winter and I never looked behind. I'm living in Quebec, Canada and I'm working around icy conditions very often and needed a responsive board. This one is all I asked. I wish they have a better design but I'm good with the rest!!

I’m looking forward to this next season. I’ve skied both groomers and off. They are lightweight and quick. I am a little bit apprehensive to get off the groomers but with these skis it was no problem to ski the entire mountain. I also take my grandchildren and it’s so easy to hike back up to them to help when they fall down. Can’t wait to earn some turns this next yr.

First off: a DIY splitboard is a ton of work upfront. I've made two of these - plan for about two solid days. If you enjoy craftsmanship and being handy, you won't mind. Second: this kit works 100%. I've taken my DIY split on all kinds of conditions, and it's been there for me every time. It was my way to get into the backcountry, as a budget-constrained student, and though I've upgraded my kit since, I will likely keep my DIY board as a buddy board until it splits in half the other way.

The classic ski strap doesn't have much to improve upon. The 20" version is perfect for tons of different uses, so I always have a few of these in my pack, even when I'm not skiing. They've never failed me, but have saved my day on a few occasions.

As others have mentioned this is an awesome affordable way to get into splitboarding. Not only is the DIY kit the most affordable option out there, but you can also hand pick what board style and shape you want to turn into a splitty. I had a really great time working on this project and it is very rewarding riding your DIY board. Just make sure you have all the tools needed and follow instructions closely! Have fun with it!

Absolutely one of the best all around skis I have ridden. Me and my partner spent a week skiing cascade volcanoes this Spring and these skis excelled in all kind of conditions. They carve exceptionally well, hold an edge and are just light enough with the right binding for touring with out feeling like you are burdened down by a lot of weight. A fabulous one quiver ski.

I do a lot of low angle skiing in Montana, so lots of long up and down hills that aren't alpine level steep (I do also ski alpine with these). I got into back country XC skiing a few seasons ago on a pair of Rossi BC 100s. Great skis but they didn't offer the flexibility to ski downhill the way I could having the heel locked in. The Hyper Vectors were the perfect answer. They're negligibly heavier than my Rossis, which is crazy considering the Rossis are strictly an XC ski not meant for downhill capability. The Voile HyperVectors climb just as well as the Rossis without skins, the fish scales are amazing. They don't replace skins (like the website says/should be expected) but they save a lot of time on low angle slopes that are continually going up and down because you don't have to take your skins on and off! So, so nice. These skis are such a great way to make low angle skiing more fun and still rip when you want to take them up to the mountain peaks for some steep downhill. I used these at a small resort and I think they're great for resort skiing too (they weren't perfect but I think that has more to do with my Dynafits not being meant for resort skiing and being strictly a backcountry binding).

Been on this trusty pair of OG tech binders going on 15 years strong, they can't be beat!

This ski does it all but really shines as powder touring ski. Huge fan.

If you're a splitboarder, these are definitely the best skins in the world for you. I've been splitboarding in Colorado, Wyoming, California, VT, and NH for 8 years and me & my entire crew of homies agree these are the best skins in the world for skinning deep dow in the winter, sketchy icy kick-turns in the spring, and everything in between. My friends have tried Jones, Pomoca, BD, everything under the sun, and Voile skins are always the tried and true option. Great stick, great glide, heavy duty yet lightweight. Almost NEVER have issues with them. Just buy them my friend!!!!

I can't tell the number of times I've had these bad boys bail me out of situation where I would have otherwise been stranded- from a broken ski binding, seat post, pack compartment, you name it! Buy more than you'll need and they'll never be enough, seriously the best tool in the toolkit.

A very responsive and playful ski. Quick turners. Two thumbs up!

In a pinch? Or just need a do it all thinga-ma-bob? These straps have somehow found a use for any activity in my life. I always pick up a few extras and varying sizes to use as stocking stuffers come holidays and spread the wealth amongst friends randomly. Mtn bike doesn’t have a water bottle cage mount? Voile straps you water bottle to the frame! Need to strap something to the roof of your truck? Use a voile strap. Tip of your climbing skin fall off? Strap it to your ski! The list goes on! Pick a few up and stash them all over. You will find a use for them, guaranteed!

We just completed a 365 mile bike ride. I used these straps to hold my tent on the handlebars and my camp chair on the crossbar. They worked fantastic, no slipping or stretching out.

These skins work amazing, have used them for a number of seasons and they are sticky and are still going strong

I wanted something stupid simple to hold various things on my bike rides, from bags, tarps, chairs, bbq grills, you know the regular stuff. And this works perfectly, quick and simple application and it's given me no cause for concern yet.

I've been rocking these bad girls in the 154 for the last three seasons. It was time to upgrade and I couldn't find anything that suited my needs quite like the Super Chargers do so I went ahead and got a second pair. Why are they great? Well let me tell you! At 5'0 and 110lbs, it's hard to find a shorter, lightweight ski without sacrificing performance. These do not. I feel at ease busting crust at high speeds inbounds with zero chatter. I really feel like these shine for their backcountry versatility though. They climb like a dream and the 99 underfoot is perfect for most of the Colorado conditions I ski. Wide enough to float but not too wide for those icier couloir missions. The bases have been subjected to late season boulder field crossings without the mercy of removal and have held up with surprising durability. With topsheets that look like a throwback to the early 90's and enough play to handle any style of skiing, what's not to love?

At first I thought the 32" may be too long but I have a robust rack with lower bars and you can attach lower down for smaller items and move up for larger.... very versatile!

The Spartan Ascent is lightweight for real and have an excellent all-aroundability compared to most splitboards that are no fun to ride except in perfect snow condition. This board have the pop and flex I've always been looking but never found in a splitboard.

I really enjoy splitboarding, but i'm afraid of heights, especially on icy and steepy slopes. I quickly feel uncomfortable while going up. But when i put this crampons, i immediately feel safe, securely anchored to the mountain. The mobile mode is great, no loss of efficiency. The main default is the time needed to put them in and out, that's one of the reason why I recently bought STS bindings & crampons.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these spring cartridges make the Telemark Tech System a viable binding norm. If you want to earn lots of turns in modern tele gear, these are pretty much essential. The conundrum with all TTS bindings has been the need for cable springs that provide strong tele resistance while also providing adequate travel. Switchback X2 springs are plenty stiff, but they bottom out after very little heel lift; going knee-to-ski is not possible. Voile’s red Long Travel-Tour cartridges provide adequate travel but not enough resistance for big boots & aggressive skiing. These new gray Long Travel cartridges hit the sweet spot. They don’t offer quite as much resistance as the X2’s, but the resistance & lateral stiffness are adequate when skied with TX Pros. I wasn’t able to go fully knee to ski when standing on flat ground, but 8 days of hard bump skiing resulted in no pullouts -- kinda important deep in the backcountry! I should note that these didn’t feel like they wanted to “snap” my heel back down onto the ski quite as smoothly/quickly as the Switchback X2 cartridges. Perhaps this is unavoidable with the longer springs & tubes (more friction?). Not a dealbreaker, though; one can adjust technique for the way a binding snaps back; the resistance as you raise the heel is far more important. I also skied these with old F1 Carbons -- the softest boot imaginable -- to see if the configuration was too much. It skied fine. Maybe I could have switched to a little less activity (and more preload), but the springs certainly weren’t crushing the bellows. If Scarpa ever makes a lightweight tech tele boot, these springs will match up well. Bottom line: these spring cartridges are absolutely the missing link that takes TTS from a clever concept to an actual well-functioning product. If you have tech-toe tele boots and you like earning turns, you need these.

Purchased several straps of varying lengths for bikepacking and could not be happier with how easy and well these straps hold my gear.

This is the first pair of poles I have ever owned, but I've put MANY miles on them (both splitboarding and hiking) and I find these to be very solid poles with versatile adjustments for length.

Love the fit and quality of the binding straps. They feel like a premium binding and I've never had any components get loose on them after several outings (something I always worry about in the BC). I love how easy it is to adjust the forward lean for hiking and downhill mode. Also love how easy these bindings go on and off the board in both uphill and downhill modes.

I put a lot of time into thinking about my ideal ski for doing long ski mountaineering traverses as fast as possible- routes like the Sierra High Route or Wind River High Route. Ideally you could kick and glide the flats, skin steeper sections, transition quickly, and be competent and fun on the downhills and the Objective BC is really the only ski that meets those criteria. Since you don't spend all your time on the big objectives, I've found that this is a fun ski for recreational skimo races, 10k days because why not, and generally going fast up and down in the backcountry. They're impressively predictable and confidence inspiring on the way down in a way that skimo race skis just aren't. While it is true that the fishscales add a bit of friction on the downhills and there are times in the flats on an exit that you'll have to start kicking and gliding earlier, I've found that the overall time gained by not having to sidestep up the little bumps or contemplate whether or not you should put your skins back on and just be able to unlock the heel and keep cruising through low angled terrain is well worth the compromise. The 171 length with Dynafit 150 bindings and lightweight boots is an excellent combination for going everywhere fast with no compromises.

These nano straps are adorable! And perfect for strapping bags to handlebars. They seem to stay put better than Velcro straps, and they don’t move slightly, causing abrasion to bars or frame. I still put down helicopter tape to protect the frame. Nice colors too!

I’ve skied 178cm SC’s for 4 years in the PNW under my 6’2’’, 220lb frame. SC’sturn easy and ski great across all conditions. They have a fun predictable personality and feel light underfoot. I’ll be getting a new set this fall.

I have been stoked on my Revelator since I have gotten it. Its the lightest splitboard that I have toured and ridden on ( 6 lbs 6 oz), yet it continues to be very durable. The Voile pricepoint is also hard to beat. Since I have gotten this board, I have put it through the ringer at both work and recreationally, and it continues to hold up. I would reccomend this board for anyone looking for a stiff board that can ride anything, but also saves on weight and $ !

I keep 6 Voile straps in by repair kit. Why? They have saved me more times that I can count. Here are some of the ways that Voile straps of all different lengths have gotten me out jams: - When the buckle of my ski boot broke at the top of a run, a voile strap held my boot together. - When the heel turret of my G3 Ions broke open like a clamshell, two strategically placed voile staps held it together long enough to get to ski through an icy couloir and back to the car. - When my windshield wiper broke during a whiteout snowstorm and voile strap held the wiperblade to my wiper arm and let me see until I could replace it. - When we couldn't get a lid to our fuel canister off we used a voile strap as a strap-wrench to open it. - When our tent pole broke at camp 2 of a remote peak we used a pair of voile straps to keep our tent standing in a storm. - When a partner lost a pair of skis while skiing we used 4 voile straps to attack pine boughs to the base of skis to skin out - I broke a pole basked in the middle of a long tour. I was able to use a well-placed voile strap to keep affixed to my pole and save the tour. These are just a few situation where a Voile strap has saved my hide in the backcountry. Never leave without them in my repair kit.

A clear bluebird day deep in the British Columbia backcountry. After 24 hours of a relentless snowstorm, we were able to peek out of the hut window and make out the tips of our skis barely poking out of the 46 inches of fresh snow that piled up overnight. I couldn't be happier to see that iconic "voile" ski tip looking back at me. A situation where bottomless powder may have been too much powder if I was on the wrong pair of skis. At 122 underfoot, I brought the fattest pair of skis in the group with me on the 8-mile approach to the hut. At 3.1 kg per pair, this was a negligible price to pay to bring the right tool for once-in-a-lifetime conditions. For today's tour, I was on designated trail-breaking duty. Only these powder boards were able to efficiently break track where other skiers were sinking to their chests. Once the skin track was set, the game was on. We harvested snow from morning to the last rays of light. 11k of vert of the deepest snow of my life. A type of vertical that is only possible when the skis are doing the work for you. These Hyperdifters are a dream. As the week at the hut trip progressed the storm snow sintered and we never skied powder quite as deep as that first day. The Hyperdrifters still held their own in a variety of conditions. Snappy and responsive all around. I imagined how differently this trip would have played out if I was not able to borrow these pair of Voile Hyperdrifters from a buddy whose season was cut short due to a bum knee. I can't think of a better ski for soft conditions!

A clear bluebird day deep in the British Columbia backcountry. After 24 hours of a relentless snowstorm, we were able to peek out of the hut window and make out the tips of our skis barely poking out of the 46 inches of fresh snow that piled up overnight. I couldn't be happier to see that iconic "voile" ski tip looking back at me. A situation where bottomless powder may have been too much powder if I was on the wrong pair of skis. At 122 underfoot, I brought the fattest pair of skis in the group with me on the 8-mile approach to the hut.

Have these now instead of the other options on the market. Heal raisers are great too. The only thing I’ve done is add a lanyard to the plastic cam so I don’t have to bend over and pull the shut. Can do with my pole. PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE!!!!! I need 10 more sets!!

Yet another application for the Voile strap! My mtn bike helmet broke on a recent Yellowstone trip - this saved the day! Thanks, Voile! (this is the new mini strap)

Simple, solid, reliable, and priceless. I probably have at least 4 in my pockets / pack on every ski tour. So many uses…

This is my first pair of Voile skis and I have one season on them. I am very impressed with them. The forward-mounting position helps to keep you on top while breaking trail in soft snow and either the color or material of the top sheet keeps snow from accumulating. Both of these attributes make them very efficient at moving through the mountains in deep snow. They also stay composed on harder snow better than other light, fat skis I have tried. And they make powder skiing effortless as expected. So far, there are no signs of any durability issues and the bases hold wax nicely. I'm looking forward to skiing more deep powder on them in seasons to come!

These Rack Straps are exactly what I've been looking for to make securing my briefcase/lunchbox/packages to my front rack. It can be done with one hand.

Excellent product; clips work perfectly on my bike rack. Much better than bungees. A bit pricey, but worth it. In hind site, I could have gone with shorter ones, but no big deal; I just wrap the strap around the rack twice for small items.

Love the security and flexibility of the XL straps! As a bikepacker, each strip may have different load requirements and I can always rely Voile straps to meet any need.

The straps are even better than I thought. Pictures don't get across just how tough they are. Once you get them in your hands you immediately know these are tough and will get the job done. Will be buying more for sure.

What can I say about the voile strap that hasn’t been said before?! I’ve used it countless times in countless situations. A few of the times I was in a real bind, once we were miles into a backcountry ski tour, literally miles away from the nearest road in snow up to your waist. There a friend’s ski boot and binding broke. We rigged his boot back shut and his boot to the ski. He made it out alive with minor time loss and in a healthy condition. Another time, again miles from safety, backcountry skiing when my skins stopped sticking. We placed a strap in front and behind the binding and the skins worked great! I can’t say enough about how great they are. They are always in my pack, whether skiing, biking or hiking. You never know when you might need them.

I literally never leave home (on my bike) without the 25" rack strap. I use it to quickly secure random stuff (bags, beer, spare clothes, beer, chips) in my wald 137 basket. It's especially useful for things that don't fit in panniers (stacks of toiler paper?). Great product.

These things are cool. I bought them to hold extra items to the fender of my dirt bike and to my backpack. They do it and do it well! I will be purchasing more soon.

Easy to install. Just right.

I bought these to strap the batteries on my electric power tools so the battery was more secure. They hold super well, high visibility, oil resistant, and are super tough. I am extremely happy with this product!

Purchased 2 straps while in Utah to organize secure gear on my back pack. Ordered 5 more after I got home and use them to secure gear on my gravel bike, paddle board and my jeep. Very easy to use and secures items well with no worries.

From Wasatch fluff to PNW variability, these skis are just perfect. With their light weight, they are the perfect uphill companion and I have never felt a chatter on icy descents. I LOVE these skis and recommend them to everyone I know.

Used the standard width model with Al buckles for years; skis, attaching things to packs, in the shop etc.. The only caveat; they do have a service life. After some years, they lose their flexibility, especially where the strap bends through the buckle. After which sudden failure may occur. Thus the recent order to replace some older units that are losing their elasticity. Still and yet, a very good solution or holding things together.

The length makes it very versatile strap. Ive used it to support a 10L seatpost bag, even leaving at least 8 inches of strap left through a 350 mile bikepacking journey. Ive also used to lash my bike on the train to keep it swaying. The uses are endless and feels very durable

Love these straps, so handy. I wish I found out about Voile years ago. Also love that they are American made.

I have gone through multiple skis looking for a balance of light weight, uphill performance and solid down hill performance. I am 6'2", 195 lbs, like to ski aggressively and want a wider, full length ski in the backcountry. I mostly ski the eastern sierra and often encounter conditions that range from powder, hard pack/ice, corn and most recently slush. This is the one ski I have found that checks all the boxes, oh and if you find it on sale its a really good deal!

Voile promises versatility, strength, ease of use, and they deliver. My only regret is that I should’ve bought the larger size. You can always tuck the excess. Don’t limit your options with a short strap!

FOBP has been using Voile straps for years to hold skis together, hold skins on skis, keep skis and boards on packs, mend broken snowboard bindings, adhere beer to just about anything and fix all that needs fixing in the backcountry. As always, Voile was easy to work with, did a great job on customization of our straps and had a quick turnaround time (even throughout COVID- no excuses here!). Thank you for always being reliable and making a strong product. I wouldn't leave home without a voile strap... or 3.

I havent skied these but I thought the original drifter was the best fat ski I've ever ridden. It was like having super lightweight landing gear on all the time. For the size they were super snappy and really easy to get in the air. Of course, I only tele'ed on them so who knows what is like to lock it down.

Easily installed and very durable. Glide right up the mountain

For someone who is good with power tools, and tight on budget... this kit is awesome! As a carpenter of 8+years I was able to get this kit together within 2 days taking my time and not really rushing it. I have about 8 tours in so far on this setup and 0 issues. Even after doing some small/ medium size jumps I have no issues or blowouts at all. Take your time. Lay out everything. Triple check your measurements and layout before drilling. Be careful not to over drill for the receiver nuts with the little claws in them, I almost went too far with those.

I am just finishing up my third season on a set of Hypervector BCs, which replaced a pair of Vector BCs that I rode until they were no longer viable. This ski is not for everyone, but for those who have long, rolling approaches to work through, it is an ideal tool. Similarly, I may quit doing ski traverses if this ski is ever discontinued, because moving to anything else is too disappointing of a thought to contemplate. This ski is certainly outperformed by some others in specific conditions, but there are very few options out there that handle everything as well as the Hypervector BC. This trait really shines on long spring tours or multi-day trips, where every type of condition might be encountered. It is easy to make a powder ski fun, but these skis manage to bring a smile to the face while descending mixed spring snow and hauling an overnight pack. They especially excel in wind and sun-affected snow, and in corn. As far as the scales are concerned, I use these primarily from March-June, when the snow gives grip on the uphill and minimal resistance on the down. Dry, early winter snow gives the worst of both worlds, but in a higher-density spring snowpack, it is astonishing what can be climbed without skins (I recently skied a 200+ mile traverse where the skins came out fewer than 5 times). Likewise, not dealing with water-saturated, sticky skins is priceless. In normal mid-late season conditions, a scaly setup is simply faster and more efficient than skins—even race or kicker skins. While it may be possible to travel near the same speed on skins, the effort saved over miles of low-friction gliding makes it possible to travel further with considerably less effort. For me, this means that skiing becomes more fun, which is generally what I am after. This ski can crush miles on the flats and is completely capable of descending anything you might come across, and really benefits from a lighter setup. I ski mine with lightweight bindings (Plum R170) and Alien RS boots, and the result is something that is genuinely pleasant over miles and miles of gentle terrain, but completely capable on any spicy bits that catch the eye. For me, this is a quiver ski, but in a somewhat unconventional sense. It does not come out for certain conditions, but rather for a time of year or a type of skiing. As soon as the days start getting long, my other skis start collecting dust. For long tours that stretch daylight or continue into multiple days, the Hypervector BC is a well-refined tool that continues to shine well after my legs have given up.

Great product, the instructions are very easy, you only need some time and a little bit of patience! ;) It's the best way to beggin with splitboards, as you won't pay what a splitboard costs. Highly recommended!

This kit is a great way to turn any board into a solid split. Instructions are straight forward, hardware is high quality, and it's without a doubt the most budget friendly splitboard option on the market. I used this for many tours this season and never had any issues. Would highly recommend, pending you have a good circular saw you can use.

This was my first pair of skis period and they took me up and down everything I wanted to during my first season of skiing. Most people don't jump into backcountry their first season of skiing, but I was lucky to be living at the north entrance to Yellowstone where there is amazing backcountry skiing right out my front door. The skis were great for lapping meadows during the poor snow conditions at the beginning of the season while I learned to ski and were exceptional as I graduated to steeper runs as the season progressed. There is some drag if you are trying to ski down slopes < 10-15 degress, but the feeling of not having to skin up for a 5 mile rolling approach is amazing and saves so much energy for the actual climb. They hold an edge incredibly well - which made initiating kick turns a little difficult as a beginner, but that could also just be my skill level so I'm not going to blame the skis. These are a great one quiver ski IMO as long as you set your expectation that low angle exits may take a little longer, but at least for me the efficiency you gain on the approach is worth it. For the next season, I do hope to get a pair on non-scaled Voiles like the Manti for deeper powder days. I did take these to a resort several days and had a bunch of fun on them, but ultimately would not recommend them for someone who is going to spend 30% or more of their time at the resort since the drag does get to be annoying. Also, they are not quite stiff enough for moguls IMO, but again I am just an intermediate skier at this point, so I'm sure an advanced or expert skier could ski anything on them. Also, these are backcountry skis so I don't think they should be judged on resort performance, just thought I'd mention it.

Such a great product! I'm always finding new uses. They were a great help holding axels and drive shaft out of the way while replacing the rear differential in my van yesterday.

An avid fan of all things Voile I have to say I Love that you created this and was super excited to get my own set. Unfortunately most of my use for this product is for transportation to keep my bindings from flailing around. When I lock my heels while splitboarding - they pop out frequently.

Specialist - is the name I would give the ski. I live in the front range with extremely long approaches. This ski is fast, cruzing up the old mining roads. The fish scales work perfect unless you need to click onto your higher riser, then it’s time to put your skins on.They are not the fastest at the ski resort but like I said they are Specialist. If you do a lot of up and down all around exploring this is the ski for you. I have two pairs!!

Super fun skis. Easy to turn in variable snow, crust, etc. Would definitely buy again.

This ski is a super fun All around ski for me. As an east coast Tele skier I was looking for a ski I could ski inbounds hard pack groomers and then tour with in mixed conditions when presented with the opportunity. The Super Charger has been exactly that . I look forward to many years of charging hard on these babies . Thanks for making a great line of products indeed Voile.

I don't drop my knee too much anymore but these have been a reliable binding anytime I dust off the tele skis for the season. The cartridge resistance is perfect for me and is just simply reliable. No complaints, only praise.
