..ok, well the pfds are basically the same as the elizibeth, they are made in the same factory,(or they used to since line moved) but aparently the tail tip is raised more height wise, which is good, and the graphics on the pfd are cooler, especially the base. the edges are better since they take the beatting of telemark use. and the bases are "supposedly" stronger. i have ridden them and they will pound through EVERYTHING and they are like wings off cliffs, i would personally take them off of anything. want more info visit..http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442617813&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302726421&bmUID=1148528909303 so good luck i recomend them im probably gunna pick some up when i find them in banff for cheap.

this is the first I have heard of these would this be similar to the Made'n Aks? I am 5' 7" 150. And where in the US mainly Colorado can I find these if suitable?

Like I posted in the other elizabeth... thread. I had the elizabeth earlier in the season and just got my pfd and rode them for a week. Let me just say, they are a little stiffer and has more durable sidewall. Elizabeth seemed a little too soft and the sidewall sucked on them. I was riding the mik d's and the PFD back and forth and the pop on the PFD was just as much as the MIK D's and that's saying a lot. It feels like fuken surfing on snow, it was a fuken blast. I ripped thru the snow and full speed and curving them up like a u turn and it was fuken money. Also, they are cheaper and less people have it, what more you want???

From what I heard, the eliza and pfd have the exact same dimension but the core is different.
