    I run a pair of Gara 27.5 in my 26.5 Tecnica Mach 1 MV. I found it fits the shell better and gives me more room in the toe area. The 26.5 liner was a bit short.

    What's Blizzard up to?

    M6 has a better grip on hard snow and is easier to ski while for me being as stable. Easier to drift and vary the turn radius.

    For your weight I think the 177 in the M6.
