I know Jesper Tjader is sponsored by them and I think they look pretty rad, any eurobros have them/have tried them. I checked their website and they're p expensive.

Pretty sure Jon Olsson and Aksel Lund Svindal rep their stuff. Really nice, but from what I remember, super expensive and poor build quality.

Yeah I thought that was the case, it's a long time since I looked at their stuff. Is the company still going?

I've looked all over trying to find a place in europe with them for a decent price, and there's nothing. It seems like the only way to get them is to order them off the website which is absurdly expensive, like over 500 which is way too steep.

The clap had a pair I think, you could pm him and ask what he thought of them, but you'll probably just be ridiculed so it's up to you

Remember that Jon is all over the racing scene. There's loads more money being thrown around in ski racing than there is in freeskiing. I think Jon was taking a big gamble at that price point, but I'm sure plenty of the Verbier crowd has jumped on board. I'm with you tho - I wish they were in ky price range. I like the way they look.

Yeah, racing is a expensive sport, although they look much more free skiing styled. I have a couple racer friends who pay obscene amounts of money for their gear.
