I ended up switching these liners in and out of a whole slew of boots and found that for each boot I put them in they made a significant difference. The Gara is the most universal fitting liner that Zipfit makes and is for low to mid volume shells, they offer a HV version for higher volume shells. Since that time the website has been updated and some of the naming has been redone to simplify figuring out which liner is the best starting point for you, additionally any zipfit dealer should have an in depth knowledge on the differences as well as reaching out to the zipfit staff and they will be able to steer you in the right direction. I arrived in this liner after talking with the Brand Director at Zipfit about what boots I would be putting them in and what I was going to be skiing on them.

The set of liners that I received is called the Gara Stealth, which has since been renamed the Gara LV. Even if they last half as long as the longest customers claim they will have outlasted multiple pairs of boot shells by that time. Which brings up the other benefit, Zipfit has testimonials of people with over 1000 days on a single pair of liners, this is magnitudes more than most liners that are packed out after less than 50 days and totally trashed by 150 days. The benefits of the way Zipfits work over a more standard heat moldable foam liner that you see coming stock on many boots and as the most popular aftermarket options are that the cork you are adding for the custom fit is less prone to packing out, as well as the ability to add more as it slightly compresses and moves around, meaning that you should be able to maintain the same fit throughout the lifetime of the liner. Unlike foam injected liners, this cork material stays movable and shifts at your feet change slightly throughout the season and even throughout the day as your feet warm up. Zipfits offer the ability to add a cork gel like material called OMfit into pockets within the liner around the ankle and boot tongue. For those of you in the freeski world who have never heard of them, they have been more known in the racing world and they are about as close as you can get to the foam injected liners that are used in plug race boots for maximum precision, but geared more towards riders who are leaving their boots on all day long while still want maximum performance. Zipfit has been making premium aftermarket liners for ski boots for quite awhile now.
