I usually run Asiac 2080's on the road. This is my first try at a trail specific shoe. These are significantly lighter with better grip on wet rock and mud. I usually run between a 9 and a 9 1/2 size... with these shoes, I recommend going to the 9 1/2. They are a tad short and a little narrow in the toe box. I love the shoe, and will buy them again.

The iridium lens is great in flat light. Comfortable goggle, helmet compatible. What's not to like?

Solid construction - lots of pockets to hide things. Very comfy shoulder strap. Construction seems pretty solid. It is not a big case - room for the laptop, a few files... but when I start throwing in all the crap I usually lug on the road - spare laptop battery, GPS, sunglasses, advil and assorted other road medications... it runs out of space. So, smaller then I thought it would be, but a very well built product.

I can see the appeal of this ski in open steep powder bowls... but try to turn it in the trees or a narrow chute, and you'd better be prepared to work hard. I demoed these for a day and then switched to Fischer Big Stix, and they were less work for more enjoyment. This ski is for burly men only! If you are less then 6ft tall and 200lb, find a kinder, gentler board!
