I'm planning on selling my lib tech pow skis and getting a pair of caylors. How does the sizing run? Because I'm 6"01 185lbs and unsure whether to get the 191 or 181. my libtechs are 190 and are realy awkward to transport anywhere due to the length, but I'm afraid the 181s will be too small(due to rocker). +k for help

what do you ski? are you charging down stuff and blasting through god knows what, or are you jibbing around in the trees and things?

mostly just jibby stuff, dropping the occasonal cliff, building the occasional booter. etc.

well the 181 is gonna be a bit more maneuverable in the tight spots, but at your size you could probably manage the 191 as well. and the 191 will ski a bit shorter with the rocker.


overall id say 191 unless you REALLY feel like youd be overpowered.

I'm 6'2 and 175. I had a pair of the 191s for a while. I LOVED them, and I'll be picking up another pair of them for next season. Just, amazing. And I would not go any shorter for you.

definitely 191. theyre going to be hard to maneuver in tight areas just like your lib tech's but for pow, crud, and really everything else, youre going to want the length. especially since theyre already going to ski short due to the rocker.

The rocker helps a ton, If you are a strong skier, you won't have any problem maneuvering caylors around in tighter trees.
