2027 Radar Prime REAR Boot

2027 Radar Prime REAR Boot | Built on the Same Foundation

The 2027 Radar Prime REAR is the back half of the Prime setup, and the interesting part is what it doesn't cut — it's built around the same last as Radar's highest-performance boots, so the shape holding your foot is the shape a top-level skier is standing in. What's stripped back is the adjustment and the layering, not the fit. Secure, comfortable, ready to go. This is the rear boot.

Key Technical Features

• Same Last as the Premium Range: The internal shape is shared with Radar's top boots. That's the reason a budget boot can still feel locked in rather than vague — the fit was never the thing being economised.
• Feather Frame 2.0 Chassis: Mounting system, baseplate and outer shell integrated into one piece, so you stand closer to the ski and feel more of the water through it. Modular this year, so it pairs with any other Feather Frame boot.
• Soft Density Footbed: A more forgiving footbed than the performance boots. It takes the sting out of landings and long sets, which matters more than sheer response when you're still building up time on the water.
• Symmetrical Fit: Works as a front or rear boot and on either foot, so a pair covers a range of skiers rather than one.

Why You'll Love It

Beginner to intermediate, and the sensible first real boot after a rubber binding. Buy it if you want a proper fit without paying for BOA dials and carbon you won't use yet — and if you later want more feel, the modular chassis means you upgrade the boot, not the whole setup. Not the pick if you're already running shortline; go Vector or Vapor.

Size Guide

• Small: US 5–8 · UK 4–7 · EU 38–41 · JP 23–26
• Standard: US 7–11 · UK 6–10 · EU 40–45 · JP 25–29
• XL: US 10–14 · UK 9–13 · EU 42–48 · JP 28–32

Sizes overlap on purpose. On the boundary, go smaller for a firmer fit, larger if you share the ski.

Quick Answers

Rear boot or ARTP?
A rear boot is the most locked-in for two-feet-in course skiing. An ARTP is lighter, easier for foot-out starts and lets you slide your rear foot without re-drilling. Foot-out or casual, ARTP; two-feet-in, rear boot.

Does it match the Prime front?
Yes — same chassis, same last, same soft footbed. Run them as a pair for a forgiving double-boot setup, or put this behind a Vector or Lyric front.

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