The Gist

The Delight 85 InTemp has a built in heater element that thinly wraps the top and sides of the toebox, not underneath the toes, for creating an all-day, radiant heat blanket over the piggies.                                

Fit

The cuff is low on the leg and much softer than the 85 flex billing, testers said. It has an upright starting position that testers said would be supportive for low-intermediates and beginners. The lower boot fit was inconsistent off the rack, testers said, but mentioned that it evened out to a generally wide fit all over after liner molding.

Performance

The Delight 85 is quick and playful in easy-going (low edge angle) turns, testers noted. It failed to control the ski's edge angle at turn finish and when taxed at speed or on harder snow. Testers agreed this is a great cruiser for aspiring skiers seeking a warmth solution.

Cool Features

Did we mention that the Delight 85 InTemp has a bitchen heater system? The battery is stealthily stowed in a compartment at the back of the liner cuff and the large button is waterproof and easy to use.
