Re: Karhu Pioneer & Catamount for newbie
I am sorry but Karhu Catamount, with 85mm tips, won't fit in the tracks. You probably mean that the Pionner (65mm tips) will fit. I have a pair of Glittertind (68mm tips) that sometimes barely fit in tracks; when it does, it is not so agreeable... At your weight, the 175 is really short. Thank you!...

If you plan on breaking trail, use gaiters as there is no float at all. They will simply submarine to the base. Thank you...
