Also the Backland 95 skins are made to utilize the tip notch that the 95s have, and the 100s do not have a tip notch
Can anyone speak to the durability of these? Would it be appropriate to take these on a long, remote tour or would it be wiser to stick with tried and true Contour Guide? I'm scared of ripping a skin in half deep in the backcountry

Its ridiculous this doesn't have headlamp clips especially since so many skimo events happen in the dark. the Petzl UNI ADAPT clips would be the best solution for using a headlamp with a helmet like this.
The Vario bindings have much better retention than the Gara Titan. The people yearn for a Vario binding that does not require a very heavy spring-loaded adjustment track. Where are you Ski Trab??
Make me proud Jbo, I want to see the original coming back next season!
