Interesting. Those thick climb pro s-glides were shipped directly from Oberalp earlier this fall - I guess possibly old stock. No retired models around to check the g/cm^2.

Thanks!

Did not buy these here but appreciate the beta around skimo

Weird is fun - I ride triple camber too. It all h...

These new Tour Wraps are great. No ROM loss and super solid build. I should probably replace them after one heavy season but they're still plenty good by most standards and have certainly held up better than any previous liner. I feel infinitely more connected to my skis since finding wrap liners; easily accommodates muscle in the calves and a little bit of bow to lower tibfib.
I used a 12mm 27 in a Roxa R3 130 27.5 and now in a Scarpa 4-Quattro Pro 26.5/27. I measure just shy of a 27 and often pack out a...
