Hey I’m looking for new skis this season and was wondering which ski would be better. I’m like 164 cm and roughly 110 pounds so I could in theory fit on the 157 devs but I don’t know if that’s a good idea (I do ride 152s right now so it might be ok!) but the k2 reckoner 102s are like the same price as the devs and I was wondering which one would be better. Basically I ride like 25% park and then the rest of the time trees/off piste side country out on the west coast so quite a bit of snow. Yeah maybe there’s a better ski I don’t know but I haven’t heard as many people talk about the devs as I have reckoners maybe for good reason

I'm basically the same height/weight as you and I ride 172 devs. If you go with the devs I would recommend you ride the 172's.

Reckoners are a really good ski, but personally I would go for the devs if trees/off piste/powder are your main priority. Dev's will give you better float and more stability whilst still being really maneuverable.

I love the Devastators in and out of the park. Super stable, really maneuverable and a super comfortable weight in the air and on the ground. I'm not willing to sacrifice actual ski performance in order to go in and out of the park, which is why i love the devs.

Are you a child? What construction differences are there between the kids and adult versio s of the devastating? Is the kids version full cap?

There are some well priced 164 devices on bst that could be perfect for you.
