Palau Tour Lite Pro Liners

Hi John,

The closest aftermarket liner to the Stock Liner in the TLT6 Mountain CR boots is the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo. Here is a breakdown of the differences in the liners that you mentioned.

The Palau Tour Lite Pro has the lowest volume foam at 7mm. This will provide a slightly higher volume fit compared with the TLT6 Mountain stock liner. At 8mm of foam, the Evo is thicker, and more closely mirrors the TLT6 Mountain stock liner. One thing to keep in mind, aftermarket liners are designed to fit a wider range of shells, so they will not be quite as specific in fit as compared with a stock liner.

The final liner that you mentioned is the Palau Power LT. This liner has similar volume in the lower as compared with the Evo, maybe a little thicker in the toe. However, the upper liner has higher volume foam than the Evo, and is intended to increase the flex of your boots. This translates to some reduction in the cuff rotation.

As far as fit goes, it would be best to stick with your current boot size. If you have further questions, please reach out to help@skimo.co!

Hi Josh,

Depending on your shell size, the closest liner to the Stock TLT8 Carbonio would be the TLT7 Custom Light Liners under our Dynafit Liners listing. Although not exactly the same fit, it will be pretty close.

As far as the Palau Tour Lite Pro Liner is concerned, I would say it will most closely mirror the stock liner in the Dynafit TLT 8 Carbonio of any aftermarket liner that we carry. However, I would not consider it essentially the same. The stock liner in a boot will have design features specifically oriented to complement the shell it was designed to go inside. This liner will have a slightly more generic fit intended for a wider range of boot shells. The Palau Tour Lite Pro will get you darn close, but not exact. If you have further liner questions, reach out to us at help@skimo.co.

Hey Greg,

You're spot on. The Palau Tour Lite Pro is going to be the closest in similarity to the stock Atomic Backland Carbon liner! I'd go for the 26.5 for sizing as well.

Thanks for your question, Nate. Having owned your boot, I would encourage you to go with the Pro Tour. To decide what thickness of liner you would need, please click here. For your boot, the 28.0 should do the trick. We are expecting these to come back into stock, please reach out at help@skimo.co if you would like to be notified when they do.

Thanks for your question, Philipp. If you're downsizing to a 27.0, either a 5mm or 7mm race liner from Palau might be your best option. These will have less inherent warmth than the thicker offerings from Palau, however, they might be the only option depending on how tight the downsized boot will be. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hey Jonathan, perhaps the closet comparison would be the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo Liner or the Palau Power LT which will just have a thicker cuff.

Thanks for your question, Tim! Either 29.0 or 29.5 would work. The 29.5 is just a bit longer than the 29.0, which would help fill a bit of volume lengthwise if you felt that was necessary. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you!

Hey Xav, if you like the fit of the stock liner, we actually sell the scarpa stock liners here.

Hey Hannah, these Palau Tour Lite liners will be a bit lower volume than the Pro Tour. If you wanted an in-between option you could try out the Palau Power LT liners which will have the same thickness foam as the Tour Lite but just a bit thicker towards the upper cuff. Overall the foam for the Palau liners will be a bit more soft and supple than Intuitions.

Hey David, these Palau Tour Lite Pro liners or potentially the Power LT liners from Palau could both be good options. The Power LT liners will just have a bit thicker foam in them.

Hey Todd, the 30.0 liner is going to be the size you want to go with, the 31.0 will be too long for that shell.

Hey Tom, this could definitely be a good choice! It wil be a firmer feel than the Ultralight but be aware that it also might take up a little more space in the toe box, especially if you had the 5mm Ultralight. The weight for a pair of the Ultralights in a 27.0 is 178g. They do run a shell size smaller than most other liners so I weighed them in a 28.0 also, which comes to 185g. The Tour Light Pro in a 27.0 weighs 301g.

Great, thanks for the information - and yes I would like to have it firmer and smaller. So the the Ultimate is 27/27.5 - I guess I need to order a 27 Tour Light Pro, correct?

Hey Tom, you're actually going to want the Tour Light Pro in a 26 sized liner. The Atomic Backland Ultimate is sized a full shell size smaller than other boots because it was designed to have such a thin liner.

Hey Julieana, got it - thank you very much for your help!

Lee, either the 28 or 28.5 will fit that boot great. I would recommend a beefier liner like the Palau Power LT, it is thicker throughout and much thicker on the upper cuff which will increase the downhill performance. here is a link to the Power LT liner.

Hey Lee, the Palau Tour series liners tend to measure pretty true-to-size relative to the Dynafit boots, so I'd say either go bang-on 28.5 with your Vulcans, or drop down to 28.0 if you want a slightly snugger fit that will expand with heat-molding! Depending on which generation Vulcan you have, the Tour Lite Pro may be a bit thinner than what came stock in your boots. For a liner with a little more stiffness and a thicker foam, the Palau Power LT would be an awesome option -- a little closer to what Dynafit is shipping stock with the Sidas liner in the Hoji Free these days.

Ben, These would be a great option, but I would suggest looking at the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evos. They are similar, but the Evos are a little thicker around the upper cuff which will feel more like the stock liners of the Mercurys.

Ben, you might also want to look at the Palau Power LT liner as well. This liner will be thicker throughout the foot as well as a thicker upper cuff compared to the Palau Tour Lite Evo.

Alex, These should be the one. I tested for you. We have a 28.5 and it fits nicely in the Ultimate. They are thicker than the stock liners and seem like they will be more comfortable too.

Are Palau liners true to size or are they manufactured in full sizes only? It's difficult to tell based on their website. Is the 28.5 actually a half size? If so, I would probably get a 27.5 for my 28 boot. Thanks for your help.

Hi Alexander, they are true to size and the half sizes differ from the whole.

Hey Gene, I think most of our touring liners will be too thin for that boot, I'd recommend seeking out some alpine boot liners!

Hi Matthew, yes this is a good replacement option. A couple of us here are using that combo and it works fine with the same size as the boot. These are slightly denser foam so you may appreciate a liner mold at the outset to get some toe wiggle room, but they would eventually break in as well.

Hey Joshua, the Tour Lite Pro Evos are built out of 1mm thicker foam, but the flexibility is relatively comparable. The Evos do have a thicker cuff with a stiff backing, so if you are looking to take up cuff room, they may be a better choice. As far as weight goes, the Evos are an additional 18g (163 vs 181g).

Thomas, the Palau aftermarket liners are not exactly the same as the OEM Dyanfit liners. If you want a bit thicker and beefed up liner, try the Pro Evo.

Timothy, these Tour Lite Pro will work well. They are a bit thicker then the stock liners and will be more comfortable.
