    Got a pair that came with some skis I picked up for Ms HAB on here that I don't think we're going to end up using. They're slightly cobbled together but the plush and glue are in fine shape. I'll make sure they'd go long enough tonight, but I think so.

    Nothing fancy, but they'd be super cheap. PM if you're interested.

    If OP passes on these I would be interested. Do you know what company made the plush and if its mohair, synthetic, or a mix? I am looking for something that can go to 170 for Mrs Skanktacular

    Might have a pair around those dimensions, BD Mohair/Nylon blend. Well used but totally functional.

    PM replied, EEC still has first dibs. skanktacular, I'll let you know if he passes.

    They measure 80mm at the narrowest point, and ~171cm long from the tip connector to the last hole in the tail clip. The tip connector is attached by folding the skin over on itself, you could peel it apart and get a couple more cms if needed. Plush looks to be nylon, but I have no idea who made it.

    As stated previously, they're not pretty, but seem plenty functional. And I don't want much for them.
