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.

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.

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'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.
