What I ordered are just adapters from TA to QR and I intend to use skewers I already have.

Interesting I had the same Idea a couple of days ago and, after asking around I ordered adapters from... (is it allowed to write AliExpress here?)
Just mind the rear is 135x10mm, not 9.
I double...

That's indeed a huge advantage which indeed I never considered so far.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...

Why don't split the skins in the middle section (under foot) and open them with the wider skis a bit to cover the edges?
The few mm gap in the middle shouldn't hurt.

I got 4340g for the two Skis including bindings, freeride spacers and a negligible strap. So it would be 2170g a piece.

I'll put the set on a scale ASAP.
The naked ski was slightly above 1,8kg.
The binding should be around 350g + freeride spacer (70g?)

Hope it works:

I just finished mounting my 188er (measured 185cm) with Hagan rebranded ATK Raiders.
I ended mounting at +1 but just because of a silly mistake at the begin of drilling and I had to move the...

There is a new Steadfast?
I own and use for touring one bought back in 2014 as rest post and it's a 90mm waist with a broad 130mm shovel.
I also have the more-or-less following model, the Peshewa,...

Something like the Smith Wildcat would be an option? Provided, you can find suitable lenses for your needs.

I just got a reply from Fritschi´s CS.
Accordingly to what they wrote, the (now) white button was redesigned to avoid the ski/walk lever to be locked by snow/ice.
They also sent a video showing the...

The picture looks like the older of the two version I meant which is sold for 199 Euros w/o brakes. Meanwhile I got a reply from the shop, that the more expensive one is the latest iteration which...

I´ve found a good offer for a Xenic, but the shop also offers a newer version to a significantly higher price and I´m wondering whether the cheaper one is still affected by the toe lever issue since...

Thanks for all the replies.
I bought some Lange XT 130 LV (the white ones, basically RX with a symbolic walking mech.) back in 2015 size 26,5.
Accordingly to Verifyt my feet are some 27,2 and...

How would the two models compare to, say, a Lange RX LV?
Thanks in advance.

Some 10 years ago i did a test climbing the same hill in two following days with similar (cloudy/rainy) weather and similar conditions once with a GTX Proshell jacket (old stuff) and once with a...

I have also (male) slender feet and most boots are too wide for me.
Currently I´m quite happy with the Salomon MTN Lab and a thicker Palau liner (after a few attempts to live with the original one)...

Have the Vapor Carbon poles some protection against the ski edges in the lower section and huw do they hold up?

Why would you want to use GTX active for resort skiing?
Anyway, I'd be more concerned about the durability.

I got yesterday my "new" (barely used) Giro Neo and it luckily fits my melon well.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm going to verify it myself shortly.

Hello,
I used a couple of Giro helmets in the past in size L, last one being the Montane and I was happy with the fit and overall.
I'm wondering if the addition of the MIPS makes a relevant...

Accordingly to the description they are OTG which normally means, they stay farer away from the eyes reducing the visual field.
What's your experience?
Thanks in advance.

I noticed the clips a while ago as I was considering the Smith Express (actually a bike commuting helmet) as a possible lightweight ski-helmet.
The goggle integration, while not totally hopeless,...

Sorry, to one regard I have to correct myself: the Marker Consort is about 485g (I just weighted it) so it makes some difference indeed.

I keep the eyes open for a real lightweight all-round ski helmet without too many compromises, but all I tried in the last years (Dynafit/Salewa, Salomon, Camp Pulse) were to small or a...

I'm not sure I understand what's the big deal. It weighs 400g like my Marker Consort which is (for me) very confortable and without compromise.
If I want to go light I take the Petzl Meteor which...

I might never know. I'm afraid of the 200g/m2 Primaloft, even if the eco ("black") and after 10Y it's probably fairly packet out.
The jacket is located in Austria, where I also live, just in another...

Thanks for the tip with the right item number.
I got it surprisingly fast from the seller (84560 FA12) and the jacket turns out to be an Aspatron from Fall 2012.
Probably a bit too warm for my...

If I knew the model I´d find out which materials is made of and to what degree is water resistant.
I live too far away for pick up and the jacket should be shipped. It´s at a reasonable price, but...

Thanks.
I already tried goggle with the displayed number and I didn't get anything useful.
The seller seems to be quite clueless.

Hi

I found this jacket used for a reasonable price (and in the right size) and I´m trying to get more info, but the owner is not able to tell which model it is.
Can anyone please identify it?
...

Thanks a lot!

Another one: MH Ozonic Stretch Insulated.

The RAB Khroma Volition seems another viable candidate, but it´s as expensive as the Norrona sibling and the current colorways are just moderately exciting in my opinion.

Holbrooks are available used (and sometimes even new) for reasonable prices and I could keep one pair as sunglasses (to be used with contacts) for backup in case the daily prescription's frame -with...

Patagonia Snowshot insulated?

Montane duality, GTX +60g/m² Primaloft.
NO pit zips though.

Thanks, I'll skip it then.

If I may hack you thread: how are durability and fit?
I found one used Knifeblade in Germany and I could grab it, but I´d have to get it shipped.
The sole info source so far is a 2014 Blister...

Why, what else should it be?
The company is located in Austria, 10km from here and the current owner is a Czech businessman and former ski racer.

Do you carry the Mirage just for emergencies or do you put it on on a regular basis and, if the latter, how is it holding up? Thanks.

Has anyone experiences related to ski touring to share?
To what degree is the jacket wearable while skinning and under which weather conditions? How is the protection from the elements especially on...

Talking about 40g/m² insulation and somehow sturdier face fabric, there would be also the Montane Prism which I own and sometimes even use.

Anyone used the Montane Hydrogen Direct, Pertex Quantum Air out, 120g Alpha inside?

ME Eclipse could be what you look for (it's on the light side)
Both RAB and Montane make some fleece jackets with grid backer at reasonable price, 60-70 Euro. Look for the ones around 400g/garment....

In order to bridge the time in between, the track thing can be worn underneath a hard shell pant. I tried and it works.
Unfortunately I make over and over the mistake to wash the Adidas way too...

Just my modest experience as common user.
I used for years the (meanwhile old) green Mammut Barrivox and I was happy with the handling.
Granted, I used the search mode beside group checks just for...

If the screws bite into the alu that could be a middle/long term concern.
