Wanted to post a quick review for those looking at this new boot. Just have one tour on them, so take that into account. I am coming from the Fischer Traverse CS. Overall I think they feel beefier/stiffer than the Traverse and ski a little better, at least on a 85 wasted ski, in very variable conditions. Definitely a noticeable difference. Closer to Fischer Trans Alp Pro in my opinion. But I am comparing a brand new boot to one with a couple seasons of heavy use. Fit is similar to what has been menti...

This is a review of the Ace Tip Attachment, which did come with rivets contrary to the description above. I replaced the tips of a pre-cut Blizzard skin for my Blizzard Zero G 95 skis with the Ace Tip Attachment. I did it so I could tip rip the skis without cutting a notch and so far so good. A little concerned with it staying in the notch, but through 4 transitions worked well and I was able to tip rip just fine. I will update if that changes. The only real negative was that the pull cord is differen...

Love this top for every day touring as my outer layer. I will generally wear just a single long-sleeve layer underneath, or if really cold, maybe add a short sleeve layer and don't adjust for the entire tour. Even on single digit mornings starting in the dark, I am generally plenty warm as long as I am moving and transitioning quickly. May be a little chilly if you are standing around on a summit or ridge in a strong wind. Warm enough on the way down. Only time I don't wear this is if it snowing hard. ...

As the other reviewer said, this is a good mix between the Iko and Swift, both of which I have used extensively. The brightness is awesome, but more importantly for skiing, which is all I have used it for so far, the beam is broader than the Swift. I don't use the adaptive lighting setting for skiing. The on/off button is a little tough to use with ski gloves, although as a cold handed person, I am wearing pretty thick gloves. Battery life is good so far. After an hour of use in the medium setting, I ...

Crap, forgot to include my personal dimensions and size, which is what I personally want to know in a clothing review. I am 6"4" with a 33-34 inch waist, 34 inch inseam for most jeans. I wear the size 50 in this pant, which fits great. I do use a stretchy belt though so maybe a little loose in the waist, but probably not enough to size down. They are not the longest pant, but are plenty long with ski boots on.
