Hey all,

I recently got a pair of S7's and marker barons.

I need to get some skins and was wondering if the g3 alpanist 130 ones would be good.

The S7's 188 dimensions are 145/115/123.

I could also get some 140 width ones but they would cost a bit more.. so would 130 work fine?

yes 130 will work fine. you wont have wall to wall coverage but your tips wont have much contact with the snow with s7s anyway

I was wondering the same question.  I think I may go with the 140mm since the actual G3 come with a bag and such.  My question is did you go long or x-long?  I've heard arguments both ways.
