I have only taken this out a few times, but imagine it will be the only axe I ever take. On my pack, super lightweight. In my hand, feels great, and the added grip helps.
It's a no brainer to strap onto the pack since it adds very little weight, and if you need it you will be glad you have it. I purchased the 60cm, since I will sometimes use it as a "cane" to walk with on steep ascents.
Overall- can't speak of the durability since I have only had it out a few times, but from other reviews above sounds ...

This is great lightweight, well ventilated helmet. I primarily use my helmet in the spring time, often times skinning in it all day long, to avoid ice and rock fall. In regard to that it's awesome and light, you barley notice it on your head, breathes well, so you don't over heat as bad as some other helmets I have used.
The retention system is the one flaw, I wish it would tighten a little better, if you wearing a hat under the helmet it doesn't seem to lock down very well, and seems to bounce around wh...

These are probably my favorite pair of skis I have ever skied. They offer the ultimate In lack of weight and performance.

They hold edge and don't chatter on hard surfaces, and carve exceptionally well on corn. These are hands down the nicest carbon ski I have skied.
Uphill they fly!! I use them with a pomoca skin, ...

These bindings offer simplicity. Super easy to change heal height on the fly. Easy to adjust DIN setting. Great adjustability if you use multiple pairs of boots. Easy to get in and out of the radical toe. Which makes this a great first tech binding for anyone.
Only negative is that sometimes the binding will spin while skinning on hard surface or setting skin track in deep snow. This causes the ski boot to lock into ski mode.
Bottom Line-I have these bindings on all pairs of my skis and would recomm...

Great product, used about 20 times. Offer the ultimate in glide and grip. I have also found these skins to be very good in conditions that would normally produce glopping. Glue is awesome, easy to rip skins, but doesn't fall off the base. Highly recommended.
