How does the Ridge 95 compare with the Tigard 97? The skis look so similar, on paper at least
Are there any functional differences such as a shorter cuff between this boot and the Solar?
Perhaps I didn't have a true vertical release, I am only speaking from a couple data points here. I did not realize the Speed Rad toe has relatively low retention, is that what you're saying? How would you rank the other skimo race toes in their retention?
I used their toe but not sure how much use it had before I got it. I also used it with a new steel Dynafit Radical toe and had the same issues, noticed easy release vertically and laterally.
These have been the best flasks on the market for years and still nothing touches them. I sometimes use mine with twisk-lock lids that are available from Hydrapak to be extra sure to avoid any leaks when packed tightly in a backpack or traveling. If you are using a running vest the 500ml size usually fits better.
