2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA HRT

2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA HRT | Toe Plate Freedom, Boot Control

The 2027 Radar Carbitex Vector BOA HRT answers a specific complaint: rear toe plates let you get in and out easily and bail safely, but they give you almost nothing to push against. The HRT is a high rear toe with a BOA dial and a Carbitex upper, so you keep the exit and the fit range of a toe plate while getting genuine drive out of your back foot.

Key Technical Features

• BOA Fit System: Micro-adjustable dial closure — the simplest way to get the same fit every session rather than the drift you get from laces, and adjustable on the water.
• Carbitex OmniFlex: A flexible carbon fibre textile rather than a rigid panel. It's what allows a rear toe to be reactive instead of just a strap holding your foot down.
• Wrap Tech Level 3: Sits between the Vector's Level 2 and the Carbitex Vector's Level 4 — enough material to transmit your input without locking the ankle the way a full back boot does.
• Feather Frame 2.0 Chassis: Mounting system, baseplate and outer shell in one piece, so you stand closer to the ski and feel more through it. Modular, so it pairs with any Feather Frame front boot.
• Moulded 3D Tongue and Symmetrical Fit: Works on either foot, so it doesn't dictate which way your setup is oriented.

Why You'll Love It

Intermediate to advanced. This is for you if you've deliberately chosen a rear toe plate — for the easy exit, or because you're not ready to be locked into two boots — but you've been frustrated by how little you can load the back foot. It won't match a full back boot for raw drive; it's not trying to. It's the honest middle.

Quick Answers

HRT or ARTP?
Both are rear toe pieces you can step out of. The HRT is taller and wraps higher on the foot with Wrap Tech Level 3, so you can actually load the back foot; the ARTP is lower, lighter and fits a wider range of feet. Skiing the course and want drive from the back foot without a full boot, the HRT. Shared ski or casual, the ARTP.

HRT or full rear boot?
A rear boot gives the most drive and the most locked-in feel for two-feet-in skiing. The HRT keeps the easy exit and foot-out starts. If you've deliberately chosen a toe piece and want the most performance from one, this is it.

Will it fit my ski?
Yes — the Feather Frame 2.0 chassis is built to mount on every current slalom ski, Radar or otherwise.
