My Skiing
Moved to Utah in 1979 and ski bummed at Snowbird for TOO long. But I quickly realized that untracked powder didn't exist long at the resorts and got my first Tele setup in 83. Been skiing backcountry since. Slow to the AT gear, but Skimo changed that. Style is slowly evolving from the Hippy powder turns to willing to open it up on occasion. Finally getting into touring in the Spring too.
My Gear
First AT setup is Spectres and Wailer 112 Pures with Radical ST 2.0. Heavy, but work very well at Alta on Powder days.
Now on Alien RS (size 26) Movement Alp Track 100 with Ski Trab Titan Vario.2.
Spring setup - Ski Trab Magico.2 171cm and Titan Vario.2 of course.

Mike, Hestra doesn't list it. They say the insulation is G-Loft.
G-Loft is a very thin polyester fiber with exceptionally
high insulating capacity, even in wet conditions. G-loft
is quick drying, ventilated, very compressive and easy
to wash

Chucky, Both are great powder skis.
If you do the side by side comparison, the one big difference is weight, the Kastle are 200g heavier. That and the long/wide shovel, I say these are better in variable snow.

Bill, Yes, they are a spring glove. If you prefer leather gloves, this is the best spring glove. Other non leather spring gloves will be a touch lighter/ cooler.
I have had used these for a couple years, very comfortable.
