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.

Awesome pant for general ski touring. I have used these on probably 60-70 tours and they still look new. They don't have any venting, so probably not the best spring pant, but breathe quite well that I don't miss vents on most days. Water proof enough that they were fine on actively snowing days. I wouldn't want to sit on ski lift with them on a wet snow day, but that is not their intended use anyway. I would describe fit as the mid-point between SkiMo skin tight and regular ski pant baggy. Fit slim e...
