i've had for about a little over a year. they work nicely on gentle slopes. i like them because i can find a bowl, put my pack down, and make laps without a pack on (they fit in my coat pocket). but for longer tours or steep and variable snow they don't work very well.

I bought these Ascension GlideLites for a friend, and he had no complaints, but if you are going to be pulling sleds in steep terrain or want to skin even the steepest slopes, spend the extra money for the full-length skins. (These are great for using on more than one pair of skis though since they do not have to be cut).

The glue is very sticky. The new mesh separator really helps to make pulling them apart easier. It’s too early to tell how the glue holds up. My ranking is based on my first impression which is positive.
