Hjortleifson has been heard, the DynaFit Vulcan

[kathleenturneroverdrive]

Yep - just noticed that on my pair right around the toes. Seemed to have come out of nowhere. Obviously it's just cosmetic, but I'd be curious to find out why it's happening.

[PNWbrit]

Yep mine too.

[ready2tumble]

Yep. I thought it might be leaching from my Intuition liners, but maybe not.

[LeeLau]

Same here on mine

[PNWbrit]

I think we can mark it down as a design feature then?

Has anyone tried to modify what color the discoloration is?

[I've seen black diamonds!]

Hypercolor boots are the coolest.

Covering one side with unicorn stickers and the other with skulls made me feel faster

This is the VULCAN thread....all you fuckers with your color changing Mercury's need to fuck off and start a Mercury thread.

My Vulcans are also covered with mad love stickers and hug a Haggis slogans

Skied my new Dynafit Vulcans (with intuition liners and power straps) on 179 Bros for one day on local coulies, and so far, they feel much better than the titans or the titan ultralights even though they only have 18 degrees of forward lean. Light and easy going on the up whether with skins or crampons. The down feels really solid. Now, i am just worried about dropping the tongues.... In due course, i'll ski them on bigger boards in more conditions.

They way i tell they are good is that you don't feel them misbehaving like most AT boots. Not sure why i am not bitching about the 18 degree forward lean, but i guess better performance and fit dominates....

Here is a vid on the second line.

Oh please don't let that stop you.

[StopMakingSense]

I thought it was because I spilled coffee on my Mercury's one morning ... unless all of you, wait a second, have we all just spilled coffee on them? I think so

[jumpturn]

Oh please don't let that stop you.

OK, if they are free ride boots, why not bump them up to 23 or 25 degrees forward lean, or at least match the titans 21? Prolly just some rando man vestiges.....

[gregL]

This happening to anyone else? is this normal?

Mine too. Seems like it's normal.

[XXX-er]

has the plastic on anyone elses mercurys started to become quite discoloured?

got about 50 days of use on mine and they are still very white ... nicely contrasting my complexion

[JRainey]

I guess you have the cleanest snow. I've got it too.

[SCOmeh]

My Mercurys are also discolouring a bit.

[micky_mikey]

guess my boots aren't special after all, at this rate in a year or so ill be rocking some pretty nice splotchy yellowy brown boots

[XXX-er]

did it happen only with runs of certain sizes, mine are 24's

[micky_mikey]

mine are 26s, has it happened to anyones tlt5s? would assume its the same plastic.

[dark_star]

Interesting. I have some TLT5Ps that are 1 year old, no issues so far. Sounds like an issue with a particular lot and one that warrants warrantee replacement. I would think DynaFit wouldn't want people skiing on horribly discolored boots, it's kind of bad press.

[PNWbrit]

one that warrants warrantee replacement.

Nope not really.

Does anyone feel the (lack of) forward lean mentioned here is a seriously performance limiting factor?

[Scotsman50]

Does anyone feel the (lack of) forward lean mentioned here is a seriously performance limiting factor?

No. Forward lean is perfect.
Stock Liners are perfect.
Stock Booster strap is perfect.
Stiffness is perfect.
Flex is perfect.
My Vulcan's aren't changing color.
Everything is perfect.

[powder11]

If "lack of forward lean" is an issue for anyone, try a softer boot! I think the flex pattern and stiffness on the Vulcan is right on the money. The more I ski it, the more I find the sweet spot!
