I just broke my old 4frnt STL. I'm looking to buy a new pair of skis on this years end of season sales.  I first thought I'd get a pair of Suspect, but after reading some reviews about the durability of Suspect I decided to not buy those.

I'm currently looking for the Patent or the Punx.  Anybody has some feedback about those ? (I'm riding east coast)

I have the punx. Love 'em.
Very playful and soft. I shred everywhere with that thing. Fresh (8" or less), groomers, park, what ever.
The patent's slightly stiffer and wider. I'm 6"4 and have the 182 punx, so it's a pretty short ski for me (and pretty soft too), I might get the Patent (184 and stiffer) if I ever break the punx. So far they've been holding up really good, and the graphics just straight up own as well!

And what about the durability ? Are atomic skis known as solid skis ? (compare to the suspect)

Yes they are very durable; hand made in the same factory as Armada in Austria i believe. They are a good company. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
