I got my invaders two and a half weeks ago and my skis are starting to delaminate. Already a huge chunk of platic came off, and there is bubbles starting to form on the rest of the ski.

Like I have said all along, you get what you pay for. Now in, the case of the of the fujative, I think that K2 builds a more solid ski, and this is the second (third???) year of fuja production, so they have had more time to tweak the design. Personally, I love my chronics from last year, and I love what Line has done for the sport, But the Invaders and the bindings both seem to be good ideas that dont work in practice. The lesson: buy chronics.

I don't even like the invader graphic, a little too busy, but since its black and white I can handle it.

i dno if its a delam. but my invaders are chipped up along the sides. as if my ski or wut not sliced into it. but i dont bang my skis against each other. so its must be from taking some spills and rails. but the invaders are soooo damn weak!!! if they delam or chip up to the point that they arent ski-able, im gonna send them in and either get invaders back or tell them im willing to pay more for chronics or maybe motherships.

but is there a point where the skis delam soo much that they cant warrenty them? as if i didnt contact LINE soon enough as the problem existed?

and lastly, LINE ULL HAVE MY BUSINESS BUT FIX UR DAMN INVADERS!!!

As I've said, the topsheets are softer than most skis. They chip a bit easier. Mine have a small air bubble in them, and they havnt grown, so I'm not worried...Nothing esle wrong, I love em though.
