Re: Anyone use Ezeefit for loose-heel boots

Sorry, I was writing, "they take up slop" but got distracted. Yeah, they work well at reducing heal lift and protecting your heal from blisters and hot spots.

Re: Anyone use Ezeefit for loose-heel boots

I have used the standard thickness ones. They take work well against heel lift.

Re: Ski Review: 2018-2019 Fischer Traverse 78

The relaxed base to base camber measures 6 cm on the new T78 vs 5 cm on the Snowbound Crown 78. Compressing the bases together I get a flat camber on the old 78s. The new pair have a distinct secondary "wax" pocket that I cannot compress with one hand. Another note: The Nordic rise on the new T78 me...

Re: Ski Review: 2018-2019 Fischer Traverse 78

I picked up a pair of 2021/2022 Traverse 78 in 196 cm size. I am retiring a 13 year old pair of Sbound Snowbound Crown 78s in 199 cm size. The old skis are 3 cm longer than the new 196 cm skis. The new skis have way more camber than the old single (alpine) camber. More than my 205 cm Asnes Nansen's ...

So I started cross country skiing and being a down hill skier at heart I had to try turns too. I haven't been to a resort since. Neck is still holding t...

Re: breathable shell jacket? is there one that lets sweat out but keeps you dry

I've been using a Marmot Driclime jacket over a light weight fleece quarter zip shirt for years. Good insulation down to about 0 degrees F. Perspiration is wicked away. Very light weight. Wind proof. I have applied Nikwax several time - not the most waterproof jacket but, I don't ski in the rain muc...
