Intro
Fischer has looked at what works and what doesn’t, producing the fully redesigned Travers Carbon Pro. In doing so they have raised the bar for the Light category, bringing innovation and functionality to the table. Frankly speaking, light boots have been stuck in something of a rut for the last few years, so we were excited to get our hands on this model. First impressions were positive; the Travers Carbon pro (in a 27.5) felt not only light but looked stylish with its sleek black and yellow colorway. On closer inspection, we weren’t disappointed. The Carbonfused cuff looked stable with a progressive flex. The BOA H4, used in many Fischer models, laced down to the toes, making us curious to see how it fits. Then there’s the Vibram Litebase sole which offers maximum functionality at minimal weight. Overall, this is a boot for skiers who like to open the throttle and play with the terrain.
Walking
We first took this boot out for some classic touring, where the boot felt comfortable after 800m in ascent. If you were to record the actual stride length it might be shorter than that of other boots given the more limited range of motion. This would be acceptable for most tourers, especially when covering a lot of ground day after day. Happily, the BOA dial needed no adjusting, you can set it and forget it, for a secure feel and comfortable fit. When we hit bootpacking terrain, the lugs in the Litebase sole proved to be pretty minimal, so you need to be careful where you tread as you could slip. As with anything light and minimal these days, there’s a bit of a learning curve. .
Lab
We took the time to examine this boot in a warm, cozy ski room. Our testers all noted how comfortable it felt when putting it on for the first time. BOA systems are a point of contention when it comes to ski boots, but this one seemed to support the foot in all the right ways. In uphill mode, however, the heel pocket offered very little room for maneuver. Testers and buyers often focus on the range of motion of any given boot when walking or skinning. You can really get into specific angles but ultimately it comes down to whether it feels at all restrictive. The Travers didn't have the best ROM in the lab test but still felt like it would be comfortable and efficient in ascent. The buckle strap may not look very substantial but showed promise when the boot was in downhill mode.
Skiing
When it came time to pack away our skins and hit the downhill, the buckles were easy to adjust, and we could set the BOA with a twist of the dial. The Travers felt nicely progressive through each turn. Conditions weren’t great, but it ensured a dynamic, not overly upright, stance. While not as stiff as other boots like the Scarpa F1 XT, on moderate descents it performed very nicely indeed, though it would feel less stable on wider skis or more extreme terrain.
