2027 Radar Vector BOA ARTP

2027 Radar Vector BOA ARTP | Fits Any Foot on the Boat

The 2027 Radar Vector BOA ARTP is an adjustable rear toe plate without the carbon upper of the Carbitex version — and for a rear that's mostly there so the ski can be shared, that's a sensible thing to leave out. The BOA dial still means the next person re-fits it in seconds rather than fiddling with a strap.

Key Technical Features

• BOA Fit System: Micro-adjustable dial closure — the fastest way to re-fit the plate for the next person, and adjustable on the water.
• Independent Floating Tongue: The tongue moves separately from the wrap, so the plate can close over very different foot volumes without pressure points on the instep.
• Contoured Footbed: Shaped rather than flat, which gives the back foot something to locate against — the usual weak point of a toe plate.
• Feather Frame 2.0 Chassis: Mounting system, baseplate and shell in one piece, so you stand closer to the ski. Modular, so it pairs with any Feather Frame front boot.

Why You'll Love It

Beginner to intermediate, and the value pick for a shared ski. Buy this over the Carbitex ARTP unless you're actively loading the back foot — the carbon upper is the difference, and on a rear you're mostly standing on rather than driving through, it's the easiest $50 to save. Step up to a rear boot if the ski is yours alone.

Sizes overlap on purpose — each plate adjusts across its range and a bit beyond.

Quick Answers

Vector BOA ARTP or Carbitex Vector BOA ARTP?
Same plate and dial. The Carbitex adds a carbon upper for skiers driving off the back foot. On a rear you mostly stand on, this one is the easiest money to save.

ARTP or rear boot?
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.

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