Looking for backup shells for my 27 Skorpius (1st gen) which have proven to be the betting fitting boot for my foot that I've found. Whole boot is fine, too. When you fine The One For You, nothing...

I've got family coming into town on the 17th and was hoping to find a decent but low-budget touring setup for my sister-in-law. I've got bindings and skins lined up, just need a ski. OK if it's not...

I bought these over the summer and after a short day (1 hour) on the lifts, I've decided I don't like the fit. They're super bomber and well built but too loose for my taste. Maybe it's the the skimo...

Just got back home after a month and looking to sell my adventure ready WR250R with Rekluse clutch and numerous other upgrades. Haven't gotten any bites over at advrider - am I overpriced? Someone...

I've been thinking about this ski for short country (short tours) and the sidecountry and have seen a number of good deals come and go here over the last couple years. I liked the 177 Mantra M5 but...

Thanks for the interest, everyone. Sale pending on jacket and pants to m5d5cb. m5, if you decide to catch and release, you'll welcome to use this thread. Doesn't seem like you'll have too much...

Sale pending to Tech Tonics on the green softshell.

Pants are much more tan/brown than orange although I think the picture is pretty accurate. I bought them at the same time and think the jacket/pants were a pretty nice combo but YMMV.

As for...

Victim blaming = lame! Luckily my chicken legs work fine with the Skorpius shell + LV Pro Tour liner.

What size are your shells? If they're 27 and you're trying to unload them, let me know. It...

With emotional support from the misses, I've come to accept that my skinny ass will never be able to fill a large jacket and I've embraced my Mediumness. Each of these jackets have been worn 1-3...

The Stingray was the "hard softshell" for Arcteryx. Waterproof, breathable (Gore-tex) but less crinkly and soft brushed interior. Both jacket and pants are in tip-top condition as I've only used them...

Bump. Price police, am I off on this? I thought $350 was a great deal for this setup. Will entertain (non-lowball) offers and, of course, no shipping if picking up in Jackson.

I have a new pair (Pro Tour 27 MV) for $150 that you can pick up in Jackson. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

These skis are in great condition. They've pretty much only been in powder and the bases are edges are in superb shape. I just scraped the wax off the bases and gave them a good brush so they are...

Glad to hear that your new tongue has held up. While not a true "stretchy" strap, I've found that if I set the position of the velcro strap/buckle *just* right, I get a nice, progressive flex without...

Update after almost 2 full seasons:

I've probably have close to 100 days on the Skorpius the last 2 seasons and they continue to be my favorite touring boot ever for all the reasons that I've...

Looking for Warden 13 100mm brakes to buy/trade (I have 115mm). Thanks.

Sorry to hear that. After getting new liners earlier in the season, I have been loving mine for comfort, agility, and performance. I do raise an eyebrow every so often when I look at the thin...

I have a pair of 186 BD Helio 116 that are in good shape overall - top sheets are kind of beat up and bases have a couple minor scratches. Mounted with Marker Alpinist 9 bindings (no brakes) that...

Yeah, the tongue of the Intuitions is pretty clunky and I that's one area where the Palau Pro Lite Tour EVO were nicer with the velcro closure on the cuff. I suppose you could use the laces but that...

Yup, 27 boot and 27 Intuition Pro Tour LV (MV = no go). At first, the Intuition seems too big, especially in the upper cuff, but it seems to adjust nicely after a few days. Mine feel about perfect...

I'll put a check in the shorter column. With my 32" inseam, anything longer than 180 or with a center-ish mounting point and my kick turns loose their speed and smoothness. Plus, I frequently find...

Price drop! Amazing boot!

Update:

After a few more weeks, my initial impressions are holding up. Love the boot, hated the stock liner. My heels were getting abused and so I ordered a Intuition Pro Tour LV (low volume)...

I've had the 177 Backland 95s for a few seasons and they are great for spring tours. Last year I picked up a pair of the MTN 95 in 177 to use for inbound uphill laps (they have brakes). They ski...

Posting for the GF: never worn/molded W's Scarpa Pro Flex Performance Intuition Liners, 26. I believe this is the standard liner for the Gea and is a medium volume liner. $150 shipped to CONUS.
...

I may have something for you:

Volkl VTA 108, 173cm - excellent condition but could use a base wax. Once previous mount for Atomic Backlands (297)
Dynafit Radical 2.0 bindings with 105 brakes...

I'm assembling a light uphill setup for inbounds laps and all I need now is some lightweight binders. Cheap is best so long as they are functional. 150-250g would be ideal but I'm could go a little...

I have nearly new Rab Microlight jacket, orange, size L. No hood but surprisingly warm. I have only worn it a couple times around town before deciding I need a medium. $100 shipped to CONUS. I'm...

The Skorpius has been a revelation for me with the light weight and taller cuff that provides more support than a 1200g boot should. See my review here:
...

I have about 15 days on these now and these are my impressions. Note that I'm coming from a Dynafit Mercury plus Pro Tour Liners minus power strap minus removable tongue. Overall, the Skorpius may...

PM sent on Zero G 85s + skins.

Interesting timing - I just got around to making shims this weekend. I made mine out of a plastic cutting board that measured about 4.5mm thick. I bought binding screws from Tognar that were about...

I've mentioned the Alpinist flatness (+2mm) in another thread. For some, it's greatest thing ever. For me, not so much and I feel the Backland/MTN (+8.5mm) is the sweet spot. I used to ski on a...

Just be aware that the Alpinist skis very flat which may be what you're looking for - or not. Compared to several Dynafit and other models (Plum Guide, etc), there is ~15mm difference in the...

My folks had to switch back to Verizon due to coverage where they live so I'm selling the GSM iPhone that they couldn't port to VZW for them. Definitely works on AT&T and probably T-Mobile. ...

I have an extra pair of Ascension skins (140mm width) that I don't need. STS tip/tail attachment. $125 shipped to CONUS or $110 local pickup in J-Hole.

Prices and descriptions tweaked for fall 2020. Please no lower offers - price police correct me if I'm these aren't good deals. Happy to answer any questions and get this stuff sold to offset the...

Thanks, everyone, for the replies and PMs. Right now, I'm looking for a complete set but will certainly be willing to mix and match if I can do it for cheap. Skimo has lot of parts which is great...

I have a pair of touring skis that I'd like to put back into duty. They used to have Dynafit Speed Radical bindings that got repurposed but I'd like to use the same holes. So I'm looking for set of...

A couple years ago, I was a huge SUP skeptic when the GF bought one. Now I'm a big fan. We can fit two inflatables in their wheelie storage bags the roof box for trips but mostly we just leave them...

I bought a 2008 WR250R about 5 years ago and it's been the perfect bike for exploring and multi-day dirt adventures. IHMO, here's what's worth spending money on (and not):

YES:
- Rekluse...

If you find the binders but not the brakes, let me know. I've got new NIP alpinist brakes in both 105 and 120 ($25+ship?).

5' 10" ish. Sometimes I pick the bike up when I walk past it in the garage, just for a chuckle. I think we weighed it at 15lbs (without seat).



I used to think mtn bikes were $$$ but then I...

How about I will *not* post pictures of myself in lycra if the bike sells? But only if!

Cross posting from the Gear Swap forum. If this is bad form, let me know and I will delete this thread. Thanks.

Posting this on behalf of my GF who is selling her high end road bike and getting into the gravel scene. Her words:

The Machete is one of my favorite skis of all time. Crazy damp, you could point them straight into a chunder field and not spill a drop of your beer. Heavy, yes, but skiing something that stable and...

I would LOVE to see a ratcheted bucket on the instep, a la TLT8. In addition to being stronger, I bet it would offer much better hold. The thin TLT7 cable that winds all around the boot was not one...
