Yes, saw that PB review - thanks. Curious if anyone here has one, so as to get a more real world review too.

My advice for the weekend: Don't go to ski the South Face of Superior and accidently attempt MC Directissimo.

Hello, If you are interested in the equipment listed please call me. I have just sold 4 pairs by people instead of sending messages, that being new to this I'm not sure how to respond or where? They have just called me, and made life simple. If you want to know about equipment let me know. Cheers!
