Has anyone used these for dropping cliffs? If so, how would you rate them durability wise. Are they tough enough to take that kind of beating?

Before the Dukes, these were the cliff-droppers of the backcountry touring crowd. If you huck huge and land hard, on big skis, and you are a big guy, step up to the Dukes and sacrifice some touring comfort. If by "dropping cliffs" you mean 10-20 footers into pow, and you aren't a linebacker, these will be fine. Crank 'em up.
