Zipfit Espresso Touring Liner

*Arriving at the shop November 1. Please review our Preorder Policy

A purpose-built touring liner from one of the most respected names in ski boot fit. The Espresso takes ZipFit's proven cork-based customization system and cuts the weight in half for skiers who spend serious time moving uphill. Built for alpine touring and ski mountaineering where every gram matters and fit still has to perform on the descent.

Highlights

• Half the weight of a standard ZipFit — Engineered specifically for long tours and high alpine objectives where liner weight adds up over a full day of skinning. Lighter going up without giving up the fit and performance you need coming down.
• OMFit cork composite fill — ZipFit's signature active ingredient. Cork doesn't compress or pack out like foam liners do over time. It conforms to your foot, stays dynamic, and can be added to or adjusted through the cork ports as your fit needs change season to season.
• Three customizable cork pouches per liner — Located behind the tongue and on either side of the instep. Dial in the fit precisely where it matters without sending your boots to a bootfitter every time something shifts.
• Flexalon toe box — Heat molds to the shape of your foot while maintaining stretch to accommodate forefoot width. Reduces pressure on the first and fifth metatarsal heads when you buckle down, which is one of the most common sources of pain in touring boots.
• Moccasin toe box and tongue integration — Removes seams over the instep that cause hotspots and pressure points on long days in the boot. A construction detail that shows up in comfort over a full ski mountaineering day.
• Asymmetrical tongue construction — More padding on the medial side along the tibia, less on the lateral muscle of the shin. Built to reflect the actual shape of the lower leg rather than treating both sides the same.
• Fore and aft flex system — Front articulation points and a rear flex panel promote natural forward and backward movement for efficient uphill travel without compromising power transfer on technical descents.
• Innovative cuff pocket with spoiler option — Allows volume adjustment in the cuff without creating friction points inside the boot. A thoughtful detail for skiers who need to fine-tune upper cuff fit.
• Lycra stone face fabric — Abrasion-resistant exterior that holds up to the high friction environment inside a touring boot over multiple seasons of hard use.
• Fast-drying construction — The Flexalon toe box and liner materials dry overnight in a sleeping bag. A practical necessity for ski mountaineers and winter campers who can't leave liners out to dry.

Best for

Ski mountaineers, dedicated touring skiers, and alpine ski racers who want the gold standard in liner fit and customization without the weight penalty of a full alpine liner. Best paired with touring boots in the 1000 to 1250 gram weight category.
