New skins? Saw G3 has more new, along with a new fishscale skin tip? Fold flats. (Yay for less bulky skins) Any others got new skins at the show?
And I guess any new and exciting AT gear in general? Boots, binders, skis.
Thanks cy! Have fun!!
First. Get better! I'm looking at coming home to tour a bit in northern Idaho in a month or two....
G3 fish scale tip got me hyped! Yep, it folds flat, should glide better, might be more durable, might weigh more, we need to get some in hand to review...
BD wasn't there so no news from them, I checked them out at OR though and didn't see anything super rad.
Fischer Traverse boot is sexy, lighter than the backland carbon, taller cuff, insane walk mode, the whole nine yards, I have a pair now, we'll see how they ski probably Thursday.
Blizzard ZeroG boot is basically competitive with the MTN Lab, should see how that skis soon.
Salomon QST Boot takes some design notes from the MTN Lab and puts 4 buckles on it.
MTN Explore now available for women (Yay!)
Binders is super boring, kingpin is the same, beast is the same, Ion gets a new heel since the old one sucks massively. According to a buddy the Radical 2.0 is the best thing ever, need to get my hands on some of those...
Kitten Factory Tours Lite makes me all hot and bothered, super light, fun shape. Google the company, it's interesting
New ON3P Steeple line is tight, get both and have the ultimate touring quiver for some people
Two competitors to the Day Wrecker coming out this year, one from Kitten Factory that is carbon and uses a tech toe, and one called the Day Maker that uses a four bar pivot design. I don't know if anyone here cares about that sort of stuff though.
Keep an eye on Blister for more in depth looks at everything, and let me know if you have questions about anything!
