Zipfit Grand Fuckin’ Teton Liner
Has anyone had their foot in a Zipfit GFT liner yet?
I’m a big fan of Zipfits. Less so for touring. Am hopeful that the new GFT liners may be the answer for me.
I’ve messaged Zipfit customer services about availability in Europe, but haven’t received an answer as yet.

THE GOOD
- The overall fit/heel hold is comparable to my alpine setup (Hawx Prime + Zip Freerides) and blows every other touring liner I've skied out of the water. Super locked in from the lower shin through the midfoot, and comfortably snug in the toe box and upper cuff.
- No blisters or hot spots - this is a side effect of the above.
- No signs of cork migration within the liner after prolonged skinning.
- ROM is really quite good. The limiting factor is likely to be your touring boot rather than the liner.
THE BAD
- Heavy (twice the weight of an Intuition MV Pro Tour)
- Somewhat cold, and definitely colder than Intuitions, although this may be due partly to the tighter fit. That said, I've used them down to -18C/0F and haven't lost any toes.
OVERALL
- By far the best touring liner I've ever used in terms of downhill performance, with minimal compromise in weight, ROM and warmth.
I don’t want to go touring in less then -18C/0F so these sound like a winner to me.
