TLDR; These are good, but I wish I had bought the FreePro 2.0's I picked up a pair of the Climb Pro S-Glide's for my Black Crows Navis Freebirds and set them up with a Ski Trab Attivo tip kit. That made for a pretty slick setup where I could rip from the tip or the tail, whichever makes more sense for where I am. The blue skins have a great balance of grip and glide, especially once they break in. I have used skins from BD, ski trab, and Pamoca, and these grip and glide just as well as any other mohair/nyl...

After skiing roughly thirty days on my Ridge Pro's, I feel like I have a good enough sense of the boot to review them.

If you...

These are nothing short of a game changer for anyone skiing F1 or F1 LT. I’d argue that using this accessory makes the F1 LT more reliable, and better fitting than the F1 XT. The extra ROM and reduction in resistance with the cuff strap loose is very noticeable. I addition to making adjustments easy, this tool greatly enhances the durability of your skis boots. My Velcro straps were getting to be very worn after two seasons of hard use, so much so that I replaced them. If I had added these from the first da...

Good pants! I also had to size up to the XL (I usually wear size 34 waisted pants) and am very happy with the baggier fit. I feel that the baggier fit allows me to move more freely. One point that I really like about these pants, is that they are one of the first waterproof-ish pants that I can wear comfortably without an underlayer. The feature set is truly perfect. This is all a pair of ski pants needs to be. Belt loops, two large-ish pockets positioned high on the thigh, with one pocket that includes ...
