I have used these for about 20 days now, mounted on Blizzard Zero G 85s.
Likes:
- I am new to super light setups, but I feel like these give me a lot more control over my skis than I was expecting given how minimal they are.
-The two riser heights are perfect.
-Overall, build quality seems exceptional. There is hardly any play in any component where there shouldn't be.
-Adjustable release in the heel is impressive for a binding this light.
-Plenty of lateral adjustment for the heel piece if you need to...

I've used the crap out of these things for 4 seasons and love them. They have all the features I want (adjustable, extended foam down the shaft, bump on the end of the grip for grabbing binding walk lever) but are still very light. Not only that, they are quite strong and durable. I'm 6' 3", 190 lbs and have had no issues with breakage or slippage while absolutely laying into these things while struggling up a steep bump or stopping myself from toppling over on the skin track. Highly recomend.

In my experience, this is the skin that everyone who can drop the $$$ wants to put on their daily driver setup. I rock these on my Blizzard Zero Gs for volcano skiing in Oregon, and would put them on every ski I owned if I
The Plush:
A fantastic balance of grip, glide and weight. I hardly ever find myself slipping unless the snow is truly icy. The plush takes a hot wax well if you want to increase glide even better.
The Glue:
Sticks to the ski well while remaining miraculously easy to peel apart when st...

I ski mostly in the Oregon Cascades (read: warm and wet), where snow gooping up on skins is a constant issue. At the time of purchase I was a bit hesitant due to the price for something so small and simple, but it works wonders for preventing gooping when applied every few tours. The little tin is super convenient to throw in your car or pack and offer it to your partners who you know haven't taken care of their skins. However, it won't completely replace hot waxing your skins, as the friction reduction it ...

I've used these skis for about 20 days so far, mounted with Plum Oazo 8 bindings. Incredibly light for the performance. Just like everyone else says, they eat firm couloirs for breakfast and multi-day traverses for lunch. The thing that surprised me the most was the performance in powdery and choppy snow. Obviously, these aren't going to be your first choice on a powder day, but due to the large scoop at the front they can hold their own when things get a bit deep and variable. Highly recommend these to any...
