Stupid Question: Which Booster Strap Am I?

**stuckathuntermtn** · 02-03-2008, 12:24 AM

I'm 6' and 170#.
I'm a pretty good skier. I assume I'm the "Firm" one.
Yes, I'm drunk.
Which Booster Strap am I?

PS: my boot has removable flex locks.

I am about the same weight (with in 5 lbs) and also 6 foot and an advanced skier and racer. I tried the standard 2 band a few years back (never remember the official names) and they were too easy to flex based on my height. I have the 3 band (experts?) on my ski boots. The other thing you have to consider is are you going to remove the factory strap and only use the booster, or use the booster only around the liner and not on the shell. A few may say if you are an expert skier to get the 4 strap (world cup version?) and if it is too much, cut one of the straps off to make it only a 3 strap version.

Thanks, right, I forgot I could just cut it if it's too stiff. I think firm will be good.

Well I'm quite a bit smaller (5'9" and ~155 lbs), plus a meadow skipping telewanker and use the Expert or WTF the 3 plys are called these days. So, I would guess the 4-plys would be a better choise for ya...

I'd get the World Cup version. It has three straps, with a non-elastic section sewn in.

You should get the firm ones, but then modify them by driving your Subie over them a few times to put a rad reverse camber in them. They'll completely rock tha hizzouse after that.
