i was really impressed by the build of Rmu though and they were a really unique ski something which can be hard to find these days.

How tall are you? The wisco came up big I was actually riding the 171 when I would normally be on more like a 176-181 so if you are worried they are too small maybe take another look.

5'7 165 pounds. I prefer a slightly longer fit when skiing rockered skis, but I thought 182 would fit too big and 172 would be too small.

I'm 5'11 an about 165lbs and te 171 was fine. I would go 181 if I was buying but I never really struggled on the 171 so you should be fine. Straight pull length was 177 which would be ideal for your size.
