The Gist
A low volume charger straight out of the box with an option to substantially modify fit with the Vacuum process. The Trinity 110 Vacuum Full Fit's big three for our team was: fit, performance and one pink buckle.
Fit
Testers liked the evenly snug lower boot fit and the way the stove-pipe shaft lined the lower leg. Bigger calf testers needed to remove the rear spoiler (which most testers did anyway to straighten up the very forward stance angle). The length fit is shorter than average, testers said, and will remain so. While this is a Vacuum model, based on our previous Vacuum tests skiers should not count on the Vac process increasing length fit much.
Performance
Because Fischer didn't provide a Vacuum system for the test, we had to focus our Trinity test effort on straight out-of-the box fit and performance. Testers almost across the board chose to remove the rear spoiler and many moved it in front of the tongue as a way to straighten up the too-forward stance. Once they did, performance scores rose.
In the real world the easy way to solve that problem would be to Vacuum mold the Trinity 110 using the 14-degree forward lean setting during the process. Testers love the energetic, snappy flex feel of the Vacu Plast shell. It’s lightweight and lively from turn-to-turn, they said, affording precision execution of expert level moves with plenty of horsepower on tap.
Cool Features
The 2Zone Vacuum Full Fit system allows the skier to determine how snug or how relaxed the fit will be in both the rearfoot (heel, ankle, instep) and cuff as well as in the front of foot (toebox and forefoot). It's possible to exert different levels of pressure on the rearfoot for a snugger-than-stock fit while achieving a more-open fit up front. Stance angles are altered to suit the skier's anatomy automatically, but it's critical to select the right forward lean angle (we've almost always liked the 14-degree setting in past tests) and a proper, neutral stance width (the width where you want your skis to be flat).
