I’ve skied 5 days in my new zip fits I can honestly say this is the most comfortable best performing liner I have ever skied I have been skiing for 56 years and this Gara LV is the best

The Gara LV has changed my skiing forever. Once adjusted I gained so much control and confidence I will never ski without. It’s the most amazing skiing performance upgrade I have ever experienced. I have since added a zipfit to my touring boots as well. I recommend them without hesitation.

I expected performance. And perhaps a better fit. Yep, I got both. But no one told me how much warmer these are. All around a real upgrade to my stock (and worn down) liners.

Incredible liners that pack in not out. Dabello Krypton 130 (27.5 98 Last), Lange RS130 (27.5 97 Last) and Salomon Mnt. Lab (27.5 99 Last) I have about 75 days on these liners and they are awesome!! Rather than packing out after 15 or 20 days like a stock liner, these seem to pack in. The more days I ski them, the better they fit and conform to my foot irregularities. The heel and complete foot lock experienced with my Gara LV's are the best I have encountered...better than intuition foam and better than custom foam injection. Also, these are quite warm. Almost as warm as Intuitions and warmer than custom foam injection liners. These liners do not instantly conform to your foot like a Custom Foam Injection liner so see a good boot fitter like Ted Sump at the base of Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon before you ski them. The cork/gel matrix used in ZipFit Liners is very firm... more firm than even modern-day custom foam injection so revisit your boot fitter early and as often as needed. It took me about two or three sessions per pair with Ted for various grinds and punches to get these Gara LV's dialed. The quality and workmanship observed in ZipFits is like no other. Based upon how well they are working for me after 75 days, I am guessing I will get a least 300 more days out of these liners. So glad I purchased these. The cost is significant but you get what you pay for and these liners are worth every cent.

The best boot liner ever. Makes my feet feel strong with every turn.

Best liner you can get. Talk to others who swear by them for all the tips and tricks to both break them in and care for them throughout the course of their life span - which I am told is at least 3+ seasons. I love them.

Ski boot shell: Lange XT3 130 MV Lower leg and foot volume: lowish volume forefoot, high arch and instep, slender ankles, big calves. Skier type: fairly aggressive, ski patroller (not uncommon to do very long hours in my boots) What works or doesn't work for me: while the Gara LVs were an immediate improvement over the stock liners and the intuitions that replaced them, they took some getting used to, and some breaking in. I needed to add a little cork to my right heel pocket and quite a bit to the left (both medial and lateral). I was apprehensive about adding cork at first, afraid to ruin my liners, but adding a bit at a time yielded good incremental gains in heel hold and comfort. Unfortunately, thanks to my challenging arch and instep height I’m unable to use the laces and power strap. I just can’t slide the liner into the boot without tearing things up. I destroyed a boot horn in like a week. Fortunately, the performance and comfort gains from the Garas without are enough that I really don’t miss the little added stiffness. Ultimately this is the best investment I’ve made in my skiing ever. I have never had boots that fit this well. Even after countless hours working with bootfitters. The added precision from the new liners is nothing short of incredible. I no longer need to pop most of my boot buckles after every run. My feet stay warmer and don’t go numb like clockwork. The fit stays consistent throughout 8-9 hour days in my boots, which is something I’ve never felt before either. My wife, and a whole bunch of our friends have now joined the Zipfit club. If you’re thinking about getting yourself a pair, don’t hesitate, just do it. Seriously.

Are you thinking about buying a ZipFit liner? Do it, you won't be disappointed. The heel hold is unbelievable. Allday comfort. Warm. The flexible neoprene toe box allows for a sock-like fit, great for wide feet and high insteps. You'll ski like McConkey each of the 10 days you get in a year.

In an age when things are mass-produced and looking at a modern boot's liner makes you cringe for workmanship and detail, the Zipfit is a welcome respite. Putting your feet into the Zipfit liner is a "thunk" as the heel locks itself into the heel pocket. It's a profound change from assembly line liners. Made in Italy. Worth every penny. This is the real deal. Getting feet into the liner is easy getting the whole thing into the shell takes a bit of practice and does take a bit more time. Time well spent. Things to change. Send them in a box. Not a bag. Seriously. A booklet that describes the cork addition removal process in detail. For 550$ Euro send a tube of cork. The "Thinsulate" label needs to go. It looks very cheap - and on such a beautiful piece of workmanship. Do I really need to see 3M??? And detracts from the look hugely. Seriously, get rid of it or hide it on the other side. The lace lock mechanism is OK but could benefit from an industrial designer's hand. I'd recess the power strap slightly into the liner - the power strap when all done up takes up a bit of room/ thickness find ways to reduce this bulk slightly. This is all minor stuff - this is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. How does it ski? Divinely. The heel hold and general fit is the best I've experienced in over fifty years of skiing. Remember Nordica Astral Slaloms? With these liners you can actually feel the snow. Highly recommend.

I have been a huge Zipfit fan for many years. Life changing liner for comfort, control, durability. Got the new Gara LV to go with new Low Volume Salomon boots. Perfect. Skiing them at Park City. Just astounding comfort and control. And I have very tough to fit feet. Perfect.

Best ski equipment I have ever bought. I wish I had known about zipfit liners decades ago when I was racing. Better late than never!

My zipfits are the best investment i've ever made. They made the biggest difference in my skiing. The tight lace up fit and stiff cork makes your boot more responsive, and gives you so much more control. Also completely cured my shin bang - these will cushion even the worst back slaps. People ask me how I still ski everyday / compete in race boots - these liners are how.

This is an excellent upgrade to the stock liners that came in my Atomics. They even alleviated some pressure point pain that had been getting difficult to deal with. With that said, they could be improved. I'd like to see a boa lace system if the dial could be positioned properly out of the way, and the power strap is a little cumbersome as well. Nevertheless, a very well-manufactured product, and the customer support is excellent.

They're just about everything I was hoping for. My feet are happy all day long, which I never thought was possible and has changed the way I ski the resort. Now the last lap of the day is just as enjoyable as the first. I'm using these in a pair of Tecnica Cochise 130's and it took a little time to figure out how to get them on and off without struggle. But, after a chat with Jeff, I haven't had any issues. They are quite a bit stiffer than the stock Cochise liners, which is noticeable while touring, but not bad enough to give me any regrets. I love these liners now, and I'm really hoping to hold onto them for a long time.

I have used Zip fits for decades and they perform like nothing else. I recently started using the leather Gara and its a game changer having the leather around my foot! Feedback to the skis is insanely smooth powerful just like Nordica liners in the seventies which Sven developed with Nordica that were and still are literally works of art as are zip fits. They might be hard to put on. But a heated boot bag makes it quite easy. They sensitivity underfoot is beyond amazing. Should be more like 10 stars!

As a strong, female skier I have a REALLY hard time finding a boot that is both small enough and stiff enough for me to really drive my skis like the ex-racer that I am. The Gara LV from Zipfit helps eliminate those issues by not only creating a liner that's true to my foot size, it also stiffens up whatever shell I'm riding in that day. The control is finally back in my hands...er, feet, and I couldn't be happier!

Straight Power. I love the control and power that my Gara LV give me. Not only are these liners super comfy, they really change the game when it comes to control. I feel more confident on my skis and my feet are more comfy. What a combo, can't recommend ZipFits enough.

Excellent liners. Better fit then with any other system so far. Recommend 100%
