But times have changed, and so has the tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth? Cap construction\u2014when done right\u2014creates skis and boards that are light, durable, and perform just as well as traditional sidewall construction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue? Most people first experience cap construction on budget rental skis and boards that neither ride well nor hold up to aggressive riding. This is why we&#8217;re here to take on the 3 biggest myths about cap construction to prove that it&#8217;s more than capable in any terrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"x-resp-embed x-is-video x-is-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mythbusting Cap Construction Skis and Snowboards\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mVXqDiK_12Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Continue below for the written version.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Myth: Cap Construction is Cheap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Fact: Choosing cap construction isn\u2019t about cutting costs\u2014it\u2019s about cutting weight.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that cap construction is a budget option comes from mass-produced beginner skis and snowboards that used cheap materials and poor build quality. But Voile\u2019s cap construction isn\u2019t built that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We design our skis and splitboards with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full wood cores<\/strong> for strength and longevity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiberglass mounting patches<\/strong> to reinforce key stress points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Triaxial fiberglass<\/strong> for torsional stiffness and durability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbon weave reinforcement<\/strong> (except on the <a href=\"http:\/\/voile.com\/voile-spartan-splitboard.html(opens in a new tab)\">Spartan Splitboard<\/a>, which ditches carbon for a more forgiving flex)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9754\" style=\"width:843px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529-1489x993.jpg 1489w, https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DSC05529.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pouring epoxy over a full wood core and fiberglass mounting patches during the layup process.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, our cap construction skis and boards are lighter, just as strong, and perform better in the backcountry than many sidewall options on the market. If we were just trying to save money, we wouldn\u2019t also build high-performance sidewall skis and boards\u2014like the <strong>2x Blister Best of Test-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/voile-skyline-splitboard.html\">Skyline Splitboard<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Backcountry Magazine Award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/voile-skis.html\">ACE skis<\/a><\/strong>. We know how to build sidewall gear\u2014we just believe cap construction works really well when it comes to touring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While other brands try to shave weight by thinning materials or compromising downhill performance, our cap construction keeps Voile skis and splitboards lightweight without sacrificing strength. It\u2019s a performance-driven choice\u2014not a cost-cutting one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Myth: Cap Construction is not Durable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Fact: Voile cap construction skis and splitboards are built to take a beating.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Why Voile Cap Construction Holds Up:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Materials Matter<\/strong> \u2013 Unlike the foam-core cap skis of the \u201890s, Voile skis and splitboards use <strong>full wood cores<\/strong>\u2014the same high-quality materials found in top-tier sidewall options. This means they have the same structural integrity and durability as any premium ski or splitboard on the market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stronger by Design<\/strong> \u2013 Cap construction wraps the top layer seamlessly over the core, reducing the chances of sidewall blowouts, which are a common failure point in sidewall boards when they take direct impacts. This design helps disperse impact forces evenly instead of concentrating them at the edges, preventing delamination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real-World Testing<\/strong> \u2013 Our team and riders like <strong>Aaron D<\/strong> have pushed Voile splitboards through some of the gnarliest terrain imaginable. From technical descents in remote ranges to long, grueling approaches where every ounce matters, our cap construction boards have proven their durability season after season. But don&#8217;t take it from us, here&#8217;s what Aaron has to say about cap!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"x-alert x-alert-muted x-alert-block\" style=\"\"><h6 class=\"h-alert\">A message from Aaron Diamond:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was first brought onto the Voile team in 2016 I was rather hesitant about the boards I would be riding. I hadn&#8217;t ridden a cap construction board in probably close to a decade and the ones I had ridden were decidedly&nbsp;bad. That said, I figured the original&nbsp;splitboard company was worth a shot, and a few weeks later a shiny new Revelator and V-tail arrived at my door. My first impression was that the boards were noticeably&nbsp;lighter than the boards I had been riding on from Venture and Jones and upon taking them for a few laps in different conditions I began to think that my impression of cap construction snowboards had been wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boards were fun, snappy, and just as durable as the sidewall construction&nbsp;boards I had been riding on for the last decade They did&nbsp;occasionally lack the dampness I found on sidewall construction boards but the uphill weight&nbsp;savings made this a moot point for me. I was never going to go 60mph in a TGR movie anyway. In the nine years that followed, I have ridden these boards in all manner&nbsp;of conditions and terrain and I still reach for a cap construction v-tail for a majority of my days. The 190 is still the most fun snowboard I&#8217;ve ever ridden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"cs-content x-global-block x-global-block-373 e373-e0\"><div class=\"x-section e373-e2 mad-0\"><div class=\"x-container marginless-columns e373-e3 mad-1\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-4 e373-e4 mad-2 mad-3\"><span class=\"x-image e373-e5 mad-4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Aaron-Diamond.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-3-4 e373-e6 mad-2\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e373-e7 mad-5 mad-6 mad-7\">Aaron Diamond<\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e373-e8 mad-5 mad-6 mad-8 mad-9\"><p><b>Location:<\/b> Jackson, WY<\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e373-e9 mad-5 mad-6 mad-8 mad-9\"><p><strong>Top Gear Picks<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> <a href=\"voile.com\/voile-skyline-splitboard.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skyline 166cm<\/a> \/ <a href=\"voile.com\/voile-hyper-v-tail-splitboard.html\">Hyper V-Tail 160cm and 190cm<\/a><\/p><\/div><hr class=\"x-line e373-e10 mad-b\"><\/hr><div class=\"x-text x-content e373-e11 mad-5 mad-6 mad-8 mad-9\"><p><b>Instagram:<\/b> <a  target=\"blank\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/aarondiamond13\">@aarondiamond13<\/a><\/p><\/div><hr class=\"x-line e373-e12 mad-c\"><\/hr><div class=\"x-text x-content e373-e13 mad-5 mad-8 mad-a\"><p>Aaron Diamond is an AMGA Certified Splitboard Guide and avalanche educator based in Jackson, Wyoming.

class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What Makes Voile Cap Construction Perform?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Precision Flex Patterns<\/strong> \u2013 Engineered for responsiveness and stability, giving you control in all conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balanced Torsional Stiffness<\/strong> \u2013 Delivers a smooth, predictable ride with the power to hold an edge when you need it most.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seamless Energy Transfer<\/strong> \u2013 With no abrupt sidewall transition, cap construction creates a fluid, natural flex for consistent response throughout the ski or board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re navigating technical chutes, slashing through powder, or carving on firm snow, Voile cap construction delivers. At the end of the day, <strong>performance is about design and execution\u2014not whether a board has cap or sidewall construction<\/strong>. And when it comes to backcountry riding, Voile\u2019s cap construction proves itself where it matters most: in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">We Get It\u2014Preferences Matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And hey, we get it\u2014riders have preferences. That\u2019s why we offer a <strong>full-sidewall board (the Skyline)<\/strong> and <strong>hybrid-sidewall skis (the ACE series)<\/strong>. While cap construction can go toe-to-toe with these other build styles, it does offer a different feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not here to tell you cap is better than sidewall or hybrid construction\u2014we\u2019re just saying it\u2019s on par, and there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ve been looking for. Every rider is different, and we respect that. But what we do know? <strong>Cap construction isn\u2019t going anywhere\u2014because it works.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Try It Yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cap construction has been misunderstood for too long. But the reality is simple: when done right, it delivers lightweight efficiency, durability, and top-tier performance in the backcountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So next time someone tells you cap construction is cheap, fragile, or underperforms? You\u2019ll know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still skeptical? We invite you to debunk these cap construction myths yourself. Come demo our boards at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voile.com\/rental-center.html\">Voile Rental Center<\/a> and feel the difference firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"x-entry-share\" ><p>Share this Post<\/p><div class=\"x-share-options\"><a href=\"#share\" data-x-element=\"extra\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;tooltip&quot;,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;hover&quot;,&quot;placement&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" class=\"x-share\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.voile.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F9640&amp;t=Cap+Construction+Myths+Busted%3A+Why+Cap+Contends', 'popupFacebook', 'width=650, height=270, resizable=0, toolbar=0, menubar=0, status=0, location=0, scrollbars=0'); return false;\"><i class=\"x-icon-facebook-square\" data-x-icon-b=\"&#xf082;\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#share\" data-x-element=\"extra\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;tooltip&quot;,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;hover&quot;,&quot;placement&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" class=\"x-share\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Cap+Construction+Myths+Busted%3A+Why+Cap+Contends&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.voile.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F9640', 'popupTwitter', 'width=500, height=370, resizable=0, toolbar=0, menubar=0, status=0, location=0, scrollbars=0'); return false;\"><i class=\"x-icon-twitter-square\" data-x-icon-b=\"&#xf081;\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#share\" data-x-element=\"extra\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;tooltip&quot;,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;hover&quot;,&quot;placement&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" class=\"x-share\" title=\"Share on LinkedIn\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.voile.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F9640&amp;title=Cap+Construction+Myths+Busted%3A+Why+Cap+Contends&amp;summary=For+years%2C+the+ski+and+board+community+has+clung+to+outdated+ideas+about+cap+construction%2C+stuck+in+the+past+when+foam-core+skis+gave+it+a+bad+name.+But+times+have+changed%2C+and+so+has+the+tech.+The+truth%3F+Cap+construction%E2%80%94when+done+right%E2%80%94creates+skis+and+boards+that+are+light%2C+durable%2C+and+perform+just+as+well+as+traditional+sidewall+construction.+The+issue%3F+...+%3Cdiv%3E%3Ca+href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.voile.com%2Fblog%2Fcap-construction-myths-busted-why-cap-contends%2F%22+class%3D%22more-link%22%3ERead+More%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E&amp;source=Voile', 'popupLinkedIn', 'width=610, height=480, resizable=0, toolbar=0, menubar=0, status=0, location=0, scrollbars=0'); return false;\"><i class=\"x-icon-linkedin-square\" data-x-icon-b=\"&#xf08c;\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#share\" data-x-element=\"extra\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;tooltip&quot;,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;hover&quot;,&quot;placement&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" class=\"x-share\" title=\"Share on Reddit\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.voile.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F9640', 'popupReddit', 'width=875, height=450, resizable=0, toolbar=0, menubar=0, status=0, location=0, scrollbars=0'); return false;\"><i class=\"x-icon-reddit-square\" data-x-icon-b=\"&#xf1a2;\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Cap+Construction+Myths+Busted%3A+Why+Cap+Contends&amp;body=Hey, thought you might enjoy this!
