Out. Replace liners using The Boot Horn and they slide right in.
There's an "art" to putting liners back in the shells. Of course it varies depending on the liners and the shells involved, but with my ZipFits I don't have to bend or fold any part of the liner. The "secret" (if you want to call it that) is to push only on the heel with one hand while collapsing the instep/upper cuff with the other. The necessary ingredient is some silicone spray (that is refreshed every couple of weeks). My liners pop right in with fairly low effort.
Yep. Standby for a dozen rebuttals though.I'd say that if you pull you liners out of the boots and they are wet on the outside, they should be dried outside the boot. No amount of heat from a forced air system inside the liner is going to reliably dry the outside of the liner. Neither will a heated boot bag. You just end up with warm moisture between the shell and liner.
I've been leaving the bottom two buckles loose on my Tecnica Mach 1's which allows a prodigious amount of snow to get wedged in there. My solution was to buy a pair of the Dry Guy Boot Gloves which does a great job of keeping my boots dry as well as much warmer. A good solution for $30.00 bucks. Once I solved that issue the Hotronic dryers were all I needed so no liner removal necessary.
The lack of live for boot gloves is crazy. They work extremely well, easily feels five to ten degrees warmer with them. The only downside is if you are off piste all day they pack up with snow underneath. On piste they rock.
Well there's lots not to love about them. The toes jam into the binding, the strap underneath is in the wrong spot, wears out and breaks, the velcro strap on the back sticks out too much, they're pretty ugly. Otherwise, it's ok.The lack of live for boot gloves is crazy. They work extremely well, easily feels five to ten degrees warmer with them.
