Surf Quebec Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I received my UPZ RC10, I love the boots, its narrow ankle/heel region fits me well. I've read bad reviews about the FLO liner, mainly they are cold. Which liner do you used ? Anyone using the PALAU liner (http://www.palau-boutique.com) ?

andy_1 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 The RC10's really need a low volume liner. I settled on Dalbello gold liners, and couldn't be happier. The deeluxe liners I tried had way too much volume to even fit in the boot and get it buckled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokkis Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm on Palau and like them. Not yet tried UPZ ones wich came with boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsiorTheFathead Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I used the FLO at first but had a little heel lift with my small ankles and eventually packed them out a bit anyway. I used Deeluxe Speed Reds for one season but had to punch out the toe box because the high-volume liners were taking up far too much room. Next I did custom Surefoot liners and have been very happy. Surefoot is great if you can justify the expense. Surefoot liners are not warm, IMHO, as they only have a thin neoprene toe area similar to the FLOs.

leeho730 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Zipfit gara limited 24.5 on UPZ 25.5. Warmth around toe area is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokkis Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Currently on Overlap soft, but i have set of hards on shelf for this season to try this season. Hard is mostly wide used version Edited November 8, 2013 by pokkis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teach Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I really like the FLO liners in my RTRs. As for warmth, I worried about that and got some Boot Gloves. I've only used them twice -- if it's in the teens (F) or above I'm fine without. At 0 F I might still be OK but use the gloves. No problem at all. I have the regular ones; they have extra-thick ones as well. Edited November 8, 2013 by teach hit some key by mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacopodotti Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I use Palau Overlap Soft but the next I'll buy will be Overlap Hard. The guy from Palau wrote me more or less that the soft are preferable for Extreme Carving and the hard for Race and Freecarving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Solved the coldness problem of UPZ liners by putting around a cutted wool sock (size 47-48) ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'll try the FLO liner soon, if I have to change liners I'll probably go with the Palau overlap hard liner as I find (in my living room) that I can flex the RC10 so much more than the Head Stratos Pro, wider travelling and way easier to flex. I'm very surprised on how I can flex the boots. I did not play with the spring system yet (and I'm not in walk mode....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 For those using Palau liner, do you use same lenght as the boots (UPZ are low volume compared to Deeluxe)? Asking as I've read that some are using a liner with a bigger size than their boots (scarpa) I'm on RC10 26.5 and was thinking buying Palau 26.5 liner.

Hilux Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I was using a Raichle Thermoflex sz 28 in a 27.5 UPZ and it was a snug fit and near-perfect (only because I need my shell punched in one spot...had the issue with other liners too). Liners are getting old so got a pair of Palau's sz 28 and the liner fits no problem but I haven't molded them yet. These were used only a couple of times and molded by previous owner and when I put my foot in, it felt surprisingly good. I've done fairly extensive research and read on other ski forums where people commonly upsize and Intuition seems to recommend it. I'm sure others have had good results with same size liner as shell though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeseomatic Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I had RTR's and used Dalbello/Intuition Gold liners. Pretty good stuff and they were warm into the low teens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piusthedrcarve Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Currently using stock FLO liners on black RC10. Will put Intuition Powerwrap liners for one spot that bothers me soon although I love the response of FLO liners. I highly doubt that other liners will outperform FLO liners on performance. If you are looking for comfort or warmthness, yup there are better liners out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
