solomon suspects topsheet sucks dick. first day out on um i got multiple huge chips of peeling topsheet just from crossing the skis for blunt grab. not smacking um or anything. somehow made a gash on the top so deep you can see a bit of sidewall. anybody else with suspects from this year have this problem? really pisses me off

haven't u ever heard about salomons durability? you have to expect stuff like this from them now i had a pair of salomon threats a couple years ago and within 3 months of getting them tore a huge square out of the topsheet and after this experience will never ride salomons again

I've got the suspects and they chip like crazy. Not that big of a deal though, just mix up some epoxy and rub it over the chipped area if you're worried about water damage. You can even color the fiberglass to match the skis design if you're worried about looks.

hahahahahaha. ns loves to jump on the hate bandwagon.

all skis will get topsheet chips, its the nature of skiing park. sharp edges crossing over relatively soft plastic will do that. they will still ski fine, dont worry about it.
