90 to 98 mm All-Mountain Touring Ski
Voile HyperVector Alpine Touring Skis
The Voile HyperVector Alpine Touring Skis are built for backcountry skiers who tour from the first storms through spring corn and want a light ski that still carves a firm descent. Waist widths of 90 to 98 mm keep the HyperVector quick on the skin track and precise on wind-pressed snow, while radii of 16.5 to 20 m and camber underfoot give it a long, directional edge for steep, fast turns. At 1,285 g per ski at 177 cm, with a paulownia wood core wrapped in two layers of Voile Carbon-Weave, a woven carbon and fiberglass laminate, the HyperVector covers dawn-patrol laps, ski mountaineering objectives, and long approach days.

Is This the Right Ski for You?
Best For
Tourers who log long days and steep, firm descents, want a directional carving ski 90 to 98 mm underfoot, and value 1,285 g per ski (177 cm) over deep-snow float.
Consider Another Ski If
You ski mostly deep powder and want more than 98 mm underfoot, prefer a loose, surfy turn to a long carving radius, or want a scale base for rolling approaches.

Why We Like It
- Width and radius scale with length, from 119-90-105 mm and 16.5 m at 154 cm to 133-98-116 mm and 20 m at 184 cm, so each length keeps the same proportions for the skier it fits.
- At 1,285 g per ski at 177 cm, the HyperVector climbs light while keeping full-contact hardened steel edges and a sintered black base for rocky, firm-snow days.
- Camber underfoot and a long running length put more steel on the snow than a rockered touring ski, which is what holds a line on icy couloir entrances and refrozen spring aprons.
- The anti-ice topsheet, a textured polyamide top layer, sheds wet snow so a 1,285 g ski stays a 1,285 g ski on a warm spring skin track instead of loading up with ice at every kick turn.
Best Uses
- Dawn-patrol laps and fitness touring
- Ski mountaineering on firm, steep snow
- Spring corn tours with long approaches
- Hut trips where weight on the climb matters
- Daily touring 90 to 98 mm underfoot
Ski Selection Advice
Size the HyperVector by terrain as much as by height. Voile scales width and radius together, so the 171 cm runs 127-94-111 mm with an 18.5 m radius, while the 184 cm grows to 133-98-116 mm and 20 m. Skiers who spend their days in tight trees and steep couloirs can size down one length for quicker turns; skiers who tour big open faces at speed can size to their height or one length up for the longer edge.
Voile builds the HyperVector for alpine touring bindings, pin-tech or frame, and mounting telemark bindings or quiver-killer inserts voids the Voile warranty. If your binding carries brakes, choose a brake wider than the waist at your length, which runs 90 to 98 mm across the size run. Match binding to your boot sole norm. For skins, size off the 105 to 116 mm tail and trim a 120 mm stock skin to the edges.

Compare the Voile HyperVector
HyperVector vs. HyperCharger
The Voile HyperCharger shares the Early Rise Camber profile and paulownia build but runs 99 to 108 mm underfoot against 90 to 98 mm on the HyperVector. At 178 cm the HyperCharger is 1,395 g per ski with a 106 mm waist; at 177 cm the HyperVector is 1,285 g with a 96 mm waist. Choose the HyperCharger for more powder days and the HyperVector for firm snow and long climbs.

HyperVector vs. HyperVector BC
The Voile HyperVector BC uses the same 154 to 184 cm size run and identical sidecut, then adds a scaled Traction Pattern base underfoot for kick-and-glide travel. Voile notes the scales add some drag on the descent. Pick the BC for rolling approaches and meadow travel, and the HyperVector for tours that climb on skins from the car.

HyperVector vs. Hyper V6
The Voile Hyper V6 swaps the long carving radius for a Voile Hybrid Rocker profile with a tapered tail and a surfy turn. At 178 cm the Hyper V6 is 99 mm underfoot with an 18.5 m radius at 1,320 g per ski, against 96 mm, 19.5 m, and 1,285 g for the 177 cm HyperVector. Skiers who want to pivot in trees choose the V6; skiers who want to hold a line on hard snow choose the HyperVector.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Voile HyperVector?
The Voile HyperVector suits backcountry skiers who tour from the first storms to spring corn and want a light, directional ski that carves firm snow. With 90 to 98 mm underfoot depending on length and 1,285 g per ski at 177 cm, the HyperVector fits ski mountaineers, dawn-patrol tourers, and anyone who puts the climb and a precise edge ahead of deep-snow float.
How much does the Voile HyperVector weigh?
The Voile HyperVector weighs 1,285 g per ski at 177 cm. Weight scales with length across the 154 to 184 cm run, so the shorter lengths are lighter and the 184 cm is heavier. Voile builds the HyperVector by hand in Utah and notes that individual skis vary slightly.
Is the Voile HyperVector 96 mm underfoot in every length?
No. The 96 mm figure applies to the 177 cm only. Voile scales the HyperVector waist with length: 90 mm at 154 cm, 92 mm at 164 cm, 94 mm at 171 cm, 96 mm at 177 cm, and 98 mm at 184 cm. The radius grows with it, from 16.5 m to 20 m, so each length keeps the same proportions for a skier of matching size.
What bindings work with the Voile HyperVector?
Voile designs the HyperVector for alpine touring bindings, either pin-tech or frame. Mounting telemark bindings or quiver-killer inserts voids the Voile factory warranty. If your binding uses brakes, choose a brake wider than the waist at your length, 90 to 98 mm across the run. Match binding to your boot sole norm.
What size skins fit the Voile HyperVector?
Size skins off the tail. The HyperVector tail runs 105 to 116 mm across the size run, so a 120 mm stock skin trimmed to the edges covers every length from 154 to 184 cm.
How does the Voile HyperVector ski on firm snow?
Firm snow is where the HyperVector earns its place. Camber underfoot and a long running length put more steel edge in contact than a rockered touring ski, and the flat 114 mm tail at 177 cm supports the end of the turn on ice and avalanche debris. The 19.5 m radius at 177 cm favors a committed, carving turn over a quick pivot.
What length Voile HyperVector should I ski?
Choose by terrain first. Size down to 171 cm or shorter for tight trees and technical couloirs, and to your height or the 184 cm for open terrain and speed. Lighter skiers can drop a length without giving up stability, because the shorter lengths also carry a tighter 16.5 to 18.5 m radius.
Our Verdict
The Voile HyperVector Alpine Touring Skis are a precise, light touring ski for skiers who want the descent to feel as controlled as the climb. A waist scaled from 90 to 98 mm, camber underfoot, and a 16.5 to 20 m radius give the HyperVector a directional carving edge on firm and steep snow, and 1,285 g per ski at 177 cm keeps long days efficient. Deep-powder specialists will want more width, but for mixed and firm snow from early storms to spring corn, the HyperVector covers the season.
