We reviewed the Voile Vector already, but figured it deserved its own “Ultimate Quiver” posting. After all, we wouldn’t want these worthy contenders to be left out of the mix!
A bit on the narrow side of the equation, Vector still has modern geometry. According to our extensive testing last spring, they're fun in powder but still hold on the hardpack. Due to their construction and dimensions they're quite light in weight, so a good option for a true ski mountaineering plank.
Voile Vector rocker and tip rise is plentiful.
Triaxial carbon wood core construction, 121/96/110
