Att EHP/Protest fans

[Island Bay]

The Norwegians not only have unreal mountains and ski like demons, they also make very interesting skis.

For those of you looking for a lighter EHP, or a slimmer Protest, have a look at the SGN Togga and Togga Light.

Yes, they are pricey...

Good comparison(ptest/ehp blend). Little out of my price range but a shorter togga light would be a perfect addition for me. Nice weights, 30m radius and generous taper in a 120 waist sounds $

These look awesome. Not only the shapes, but the topsheets as well. Plus, I like their size charts. I'm sure it prevents a flood of emails asking what size to buy.

[Island Bay]

Way too expensive for me, too. I can't even imagine what they would be landed in NZ :-P If we find ourselves in Nooorvay one day, though.

I fondled a pair of Toggas in Japan, and they really, really are nice. By the look of the website, all their skis are (agree about the topsheets, DB).

[Lindahl]

Great looking skis - design and topsheet. I think Blister reviewed the 1184 (gone now?) and really liked it, fwiw.

[ClarkleberryFinn]

Man they're pretty! And expensive!

Since you brought it up though, I've skied/toured a lot on the 193 EHP and now use Down's 190 SD115 Carbon - it IS a lighter 'moderner' EHP. Same unique feel in a lighter package: http://www.downskis.com/14-15-skis/showdown-115

I would really like to try a pair of the Tunnelvisjon. I'm going to be keeping an eye out for these guys. Good find!

Yup. I've checked them out in the shop a few times. Nice skis.....but I'd compare them as much to Renegades as to EHPs

Bump. Anyone actually ski these? The non-carbon version is being sold off pretty cheap these days.

Good god those are gorgeous.

For foreigners, probably the SGN site. https://www.sgnskis.com/outlet There's supposed to be a way to subtract VAT (25%). Only 176 and 194 left.

Probably people skiing them inbounds?
God, these things slarve......

From the video, it looks like the mount points are well centered/newschooly.

I hope that's the case, but I couldn't find mount locations/specs on the site.

Can't remember excactly, but I think the 194s are - 8,5

[reckless toboggan]

Perfect.

Now all we need is a flex profile or someone fondling them on video.

Thanks. Just 194’s left now

The non-carbon is medium stiff. Can't really compare to something recent. Maybe similar to the old ON3P tour lay-up. Very even flex throughout the ski. Feels great for a pow ski.

The carbons are medium/stiff, also very even throughout the ski. Stiffer tips/tail than BGs, but softer underfoot? Maybe, I'm not sure. Feels a bit too stiff for the weight.

Thanks. Just 194’s left now

Nice. Hope they work out for you. They are going to ski pretty short, me thinks.
On the fence between 186/194 myself, but will probably go with the 186s for powder touring and short tours from the lifts.

Rocker profile SGN Togga

[SupreChicken]

I think there are 2 distinctly different camps here on TGR. As much fun as that shape looks, I don’t think I have the skin track skills to ascend on a fully rockered ski. But the weight to fun ratio doesn’t get better than that ^^^ setup.

Sort of wish the URrakker had a carbon version.

What does shipping to the states run?

Yeah, never really had a problem with slipping. I use the G3 High Traction skins for heavily rockered skis.
Have no idea about shipping. Probably a lot, but I don't know. But they'll subtract norwegian VAT when exporting.

Only fondled them, but they are not that stiff. Really nice med+ flex. At least on the 187s I had a look at. Softer than 108 Wrens I'd say.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info.

No problem, been a few months, but I think I remember correct.
If any of you actually consider a pair of SGNs, let me know, and I'll drop by a retailer to have a look.
