Lib Technologies NAS Freeride Recurve Ski

November 8, 2009

I can give you last years Freeride 188's and I'll bet this years mount point is the same (since I am guessing the recurve in tip & tail is same at about 20cm each end).

Depends what you mean by center, so I'll give you two measurements. Based on centre of running length, the dimple is about -5cm back from that point. For me, in my 310BSL shells, it's pretty close; I'd still go back -7cm from centre of contact/running length so the dent, for me, is 2cm too far forward.

Tape pulled taught the skis are 186cm tip to tail; dimple is at 101.5cm from tip. So based on that, if true centre is at 93cm, these are -8.5 from that.

Bear in mind these are a directional twin, with a much more subtle tail relative to the tip. My tips are roughly 22cm long and tails are 16cm long so comparing these to the Jibs (which are pretty much perfectly symmetrical) just basing on midpoint between tip and tail is no good.

Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

August 7, 2009

Yeah, mine are way off too. Canada is the new China...

Anyway, for their intended purpose (baselayer/summer riding shirts) I could care less.

I have not looked at all of mine but the red L I'm wearing as I'm typing this is way, way off. The left seam runs under my left arm while the right seam runs way to the front on the right.

Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

August 7, 2009

Huh, don't know what kind of dryers those of you who don't shrink them are using. Yes, they shrink a good 5% (unlike Smartwool and Driza-Bone which both seemed to escape my dryer the same size they went in).

No crap, an XL will become an L and and L, well, tighter. I have both sizes and the XL's were too big, but after a drying they're a good T-shirt size for my 5'10" 170lb body. The L's are a decent baselayer fit with a bit of room around the midsection after drying.

I ordered 3 colors; all but the Oatmeal. I ordered Larges and XL's. Based on the reviews here I wanted more of a T-shirt fit; not a super tight base layer fit. I am 5'10" and 172.69lbs athletic.

So there is a big difference between the L and XL. The L is tight on my shoulders and pecs (more fitted than tight to be clearer) and has a bit of room through the mid section. Length is perfect on the L and I love how the rear has about 3" more length than the front. If I was using these predominatly as a base layer, I'd go for the M for my build and size. The XL has about an inch in length on the L, but is much roomier, more like a true T-shirt fit. Since I will be using these primarily as mountain bike jerseys, I thought the XL would be the ticket, but they were just too big. In the end I kept the Larges and am very pleased with the fit and function.

As for colors, none of the colors online accurately represent what you get. The Brick appears more orange online but in reality is more red. I really like the color. The blue is definitely more vibrant and lighter. Also much nicer in the real thing. The kelp is not too far off, but again is more green. All of the colors seem way nicer in person than the onine photos.

Someone mentioned a V-neck. Not really. It is a V, but it has a piece sewn in behind the V, so in effect it is a crew, just with an unnecessary, but by no means poor looking, accent at the neck.

Nice weight for summer and Merino really is the bomb. I sweat like a pig and any poly shirt I wear is just plain offensive after 5 minutes in it. With the wool in a 7 day week I can literally commute to work 16 miles round trip on bike M-F, do two full North Shore Fromme rides (an hour and a half to two hours hard) and one Seymour loop (2+ hours hard) all in the same shirt with no washes and it smells no different than day one. I have used Merino as underlayers for skiing, but never for riding until now and forever going forward.

Wicks well and is comfortable. It probably will not wear as well as poly but the trade offs (better temp moderation, moisture management, ability to retain thermal properties when wet and no stink) far outweigh that only negative.

I'm 5'10" and 175 athletic. Based on all of the reviews I went XL as did not want tight. Anyway, they're too loose and long (the latter may be beneficial to many, however). I take L in everything. They are not too bad but I'm thinking the L would have been perfect.

To the guy who is 6'3" and 210, I have no idea how XL is 'going up a size'. Dude, you are XL.
