My OG orange floppy liners seem to be pretty much done.

Are the Mimics noticeably warmer than the freezing cold platinum whatever they're called liners or am I better off getting some Intuitions?...

If Black Crows had ‘Handmade in MURICA’ and a bald eagle on them y’all would be deep throat gagging on them like there was no tomorrow.

Like Leo said, Alta Via is great easy hiking (with optional via ferrata routes if you want to). Beautiful views, very well signed and the huts are both cheap and great. Make sure to double check...

Plenty of pics, no specs.

As a long time 4FRNT fan and customer I'm happy to see it not lost to the harsh realities of the ski biz and hats off for being on here J. However you probably need to figure out distribution outside...

Anyone get some mileage on the Saga 40? Considering finally getting an airbag pack after all these years. Biggest concern I have is whether the safety tool compartment is big enough? My G3 320cm...

Any word on hole overlap with Speed Radicals?

I've skied both the Owls and this year I replaced them with 15/16 Rens with Vibe Veil and I wouldn't say it makes a huge difference. Maybe a little bit but nothing major honestly.

4FRNT Renegade. End of discussion.

Wailer 112D is in the works. D obviously stands for Dentist, and the price tag has ben raised to $2000. No other changes.

Thanks for the input. The Mercury was very tight over the instep with the shitty factory liner that had a lot of unnecessary material right over the instep, felt quite good with Intuition liners....

Silly question as I really should be headed somewhere where I can actually try on some boots, but truth to be told I don't have anywhere close to go, so I figured I'd at least ask to begin with:

It is tons of fun, both resort and touring. You won't regret it.

Great input, thanks for that. My 1.0s have lasted me at least 200 days at this point, although most of it deep japanese powder so not much charging through icy shit. Hoping the 2.0s will last me...

What's the word on long time durability of the 2.0s now that some people should have gotten a couple of days in on them? Need new clamps for my new renegades. Go for 2.0s or stick with the good ole...

Intrigued by the new lighter rens, will be interesting to hear how they compare to previous iterations. Might pick up a pair of this years "just in case" if they show up for cheap on the interwebs...

I've been hearing whispers about a "new and improved" renegade for next year? Do we need to start hoarding? Will they match with my pants? Who's sitting on some intel?

Looks very much like this: https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/ - Call Apple!

I've had both a pair of 195s and currently on 187s, both mounted on the line. It's all good.

Check if there is a red light glowing in the audio jack, if that's the case computer's locked in optical audio mode. Resetting NVRAM sometimes solves this. Press CMD+Option+P+R at startup and wait...

Had a pair of 195 OG's as my touring rig here in Japan two years ago but I got rid of them last year. All good skiing wise but kickturns were a pain. Couldn't stay away from the Hoji though so I...

Do they work yet?

Might just spring for a pair then. I skied my Mercuries a couple of days sans tongue last year just because it's a pain to fiddle in the tongues most of the time and they ski fine so long as there's...

Perhaps I'm blind or just plain suck at internetting but I can't seem to find anyone comparing the fit of TLT6's and Mercury/Vulcans. From what I've gathered the 6 is not the same last, but is it...

Alright, so I've tested them over the weekend. Switched skis with my buddy for a couple of runs with the following results:

His Mercuries don't pop/click with my skis.
My Mercuries don't...

I'll check all screws when I'm back skiing this weekend. All screws 'look' fine but I honestly haven't checked them. Tried my buddy's Mercury in the bindings on the porch before we left and it seemed...

Yeah I've tested them completely dry with pretty much same results. Always try to keep them as clean as possible when out, and usually spray them with silicone to prevent snow buildup.

My Radical toes have started to pop/click when I put pressure on them. Really quite easy to make them pop. Never really notice it while skiing powder but skiing on firm snow, corn etc it is really...

I detuned the tips on my 195s cause I thought they were a little hooky in some situations (mostly crappy, bumpy type snow) and found that it helped a lot.

Never skied them but I hear they do powder like it's nobody's business. Seen some pretty big lines recently.

http://www.bergzeit.de/dynafit-beast-16-freeridebindung-120mm/ €409!

50% off so about the same as regular price for other Dynafits. Get 'em while they're, eh. Cheap.. ish.

The 138 takes a bit less effort to ski in powder. They float like hell and are just very intuitive. It really is hard to beat them in 3D snow. The Renegade however comes pretty close. They obviously...

I ski my 186 Owls exclusively with Radicals, mostly in Japan and they work just fine. Just a fantastic tree ski, i love them. I've got 195 Hojis as well but they don't see as much use anymore since...

I don't see the issue here really. Snow in your beard is an incredible insulator. My cheeks and chin never go cold on deep days. If only my nose would be hairy my face would be nice and warm most of...

The important question here really is which one has the most green on it. Oh, and what color pants are you rockin'?

The Q-Lab. Pictures from Freeride.se's rumor thread.

I'm perfectly happy with 195s for inbounds but I'd probably buy the 187 if I bought a pair today for what I use them for. For touring I'd get the 187 instead. Bought some Renegades with Radicals in...

I'm a little taller at 6'1" and weigh around 160lbs these days and I'm on 195s with Dynafits. A ton of fun to ski, but I do think they are a bit on the longer side for touring with so much tail...

Hand flexed them at the store but I don't think the difference felt that big compared to my 12/13's. Lost 10kg over the summer so my old ones should ski 'stiffer' this year anyways :) Also last years...

I've seen it on the interwebs a couple of times. Bound to happen with all the leverage required to close the buckle. I usually try to flex the boot back and forth while closing the upper buckle....

Wow that new tip clip looks funky. What was wrong with the old one? Works just fine. I'm more skeptical towards the tailclip. Managed to break the plastic rivet keeping it from sliding off the first...

Yeah they are pretty much the same design. Never owned a pair of softshell pants previous to these though but they are supposed to be waterproof, ish. The question is just how waterproof they really...

Probably the best solution.

Will it work along with red boots?
