Vans' mid-flex everyday-rider all-mountain directional twin, positioned for intermediate-to-advanced riders who want one board covering groomers, side hits, and the occasional powder day. The Good Ride describes the Palmer as Vans' most versatile 25-26 platform — medium-flex camber profile gives reliable edge bite on hardpack while the directional twin shape keeps it friendly enough for switch freestyle laps. Whitelines' test notes the construction feels more refined than previous Vans mid-tier boards, with a damp sintered base that holds up to mixed-snow riding. Strong pick for riders stepping up from a beginner twin to a board they can ride for multiple seasons.
