HEAD Liquid Fit: The revolutionary customisation system

When you think of premium sports equipment, HEAD has been around for a long time. So founded in 1950, the company is considered a leading manufacturer of high-quality and high-performance sports goods. The quality, performance and innovation of the HEAD-made equipment are the focus of the company. And of cause, quality is also – and above all – around in the competitive field of elite sports. Therefore it’s not  surprising that the brand HEAD enjoys wide acceptance among numerous top athletes who represent the company with complete conviction in their respective disciplines.

A COMBINATION OF WORLD-CLASS RACING BOOTS AND INDIVIDUAL FIT MAKES FOR THE PERFECT FORMULA

Formula is HEAD‘s new ski boot series in the performance segment. It is a completely new development and its concept is based on the experience gained from racing with the Raptor WCR racing boot. The shell construction and technical details have been developed based on the findings from working with athletes and, after the Raptor WCR, have now been transferred directly to the Formula. The Formula is for skiers who do not want to compromise on fit, comfort and performance.

The Formula is a high-end piste ski boot that is close in performance to the Raptor race boot, but offers more comfort and a wide range of adjustment options. The construction is based on the Raptor WCR and important design features, such as the extended toe box for more stiffness and space in the forefoot, are also found in the Formula. The series is based on a 2-last concept and therefore the Formula is also available in a 100mm version in addition to the 98mm RS version. The Formula is designed for skiers who do not want to compromise on fit, comfort and performance. The Formula is available in both a women’s and men’s series.

The Formula toe box in particular has been completely redesigned with its 12mm extension and has two key effects: The torsional stiffness has been improved, making the shoe more torsionally rigid in the forefoot area. This means that the feedback from the shoe is transmitted more consistently, which increases stability and creates confidence in the shoe. In addition, the forefoot gets more space, which improves blood circulation and heat regulation and ensures a comfortable climate in the shoe. Cold feet and pressure points are thus reduced to a minimum.

Liquid Fit: 100% flexible, comfortable and performance-oriented


 

HEAD looks far beyond the top athletes. After all, the philosophy of the Vorarlberg company is not only to take professional athletes to the next level, but also to make recreational athletes even better in their respective disciplines. That’s why Head never stops inspiring the market with high-end equipment and new, innovative products. One of the best examples of this is the LIQUID FIT ski boot fitting concept, which also plays a major role in Formula. We would like to introduce it to you in more detail:

Liquid Fit technology includes additional adjustment options beyond thermal adjustment. With the help of injection tubes, a paraffin-based, absolutely non-toxic material can be added to the ankle and heel area in 4 steps. With Liquid Fit, volume can also be added for the first time and better support in the heel and ankle region can be achieved. Annoying play in the heel and unsafe skiing due to too little support are thus a thing of the past. This process does not require a lot of time and the client does not have a constricting feeling. Immediately after the injection is finished, the boot is ready for use.

 
 

 

The process is carried out with a paraffin-based gel, which is injected into a padding around the ankle area. For this purpose, the customer goes in shoulder-width position with a slight template in the ski position. Subsequently, the material is injected into the shoe in constant dialogue with the customer. The injected paraffin material is temperature resistant from -20 ° C to + 60 ° C and non-toxic. If the shoe is too tight and the wearer has a tight feeling, excess material can be easily and simply removed from the shoe. For this, the shoe is heated to 80 °, whereby the paraffin in the shoe becomes more fluid and can be removed with the help of a syringe. With HEAD-Fit HEAD achieves the ultimate in comfort and support. In combination with Perfect-Fit 3D and the form-fit technology, a completely personalized ski boot can be made for everyone.
 
 

Liquid Fit is used at  On-Pist ski boots (such as the Nexo LYT), but also at Freeride / Tour and Allmountain models (such as the Kore 1). You can find a selection of boots in our shop:
