Good flotation and turning!

I've used these skis a few times now, and I'm impressed with their off trail ability, mainly with regards to turning, and flotation. They don't do as well on a packed trail as they do off trail, being the deep side cut hinders their ability to track well. They are very fast on the downhill, but don't kick as well as the narrower BC skis that I've used. Great ski if you intend to do 90-100% off trail adventures. |

Very comfortable boot.!

I've used these boots a few times now and I'm impressed with their comfort and ankle support. They tend to run slightly large in size, so if you fall in the middle in sizing, you might waant to go with the smaller size boot. I'm a size 10.5 and went with a size 45 (11) and should have went with a 44 (10) being they run slightly larger in size. The one negative is that you really need to lace these boots tightly in order to keep your foot tight to the boot, but this may also be in part that the boot is slightly big for me as well. Also, there isn't much, if any at all support over the top of your foot, being the fabric tongue is lightweight vinyl and foam. The plastic wrap around cuffs need to be deburred breaking all inner sharp edges too, otherwise they "might possibly" cut into the fabric portion of the boots. Sand paper or a stout nail file will work for this task. I also replaced the thin laces that came with the boots with larger tubular laces. All in all the 2050 Boot is a good match with the Fischer Rebound Skis that I also purchased for light duty BC adventures! |
