Women's take on the Vapor S, pairing the same sticky XS Grip 2 sole and M50 toe patch with a lower-volume last. The Bi-Tension system gives it more structure than the rubber softness implies - strong enough to edge on thin holds, sensitive enough to trust on smeary volumes. A genuine do-everything shoe for intermediate to advanced female climbers.
