Re: XPLORE anti-ice plate

Thanks everyone,
This is the item I had ordered which REI marketed as an anti-ice plate (but sent me the free pivot plate).

Wondering if that's the same thing?

Re: XPLORE anti-ice plate

Thanks @turnfarmer ! Does this product have any PFAS (I have chemical sensitivities so avoid teflon, PFAS, etc.). Even my wax is all-natural PFAS-free.

Does anyone have a picture of the anti-ice place that Rotefella sells for XPLORE?

Thanks!

Alpina Alaska XP vs Alfa Vista advance, click-in issues

Hi community, I love the XPLORE system, and I find that the Alpina Alaska XP in 40 fits my feet the best. However, that particular boot has some issues clicking into the XPLORE binding completely (especially the right side of the left boot), and sometimes disengages (but always within the first 10 k...

XPLORE anti-ice plate

Hi Telemark Talk Community, I got XPLORE bindings (love them) and ordered the anti-ice plate from REI, but instead they sent me the "free pivot plate". I called REI and they re-sent it, but it's the Free Pivot plate again. Before I contact REI again, or Rotefella directly, I wanted to make sure I'm ...

Re: Spare tire for Xplore binding?

Has anyone had an XPLORE pin come out or fail? Just wanted to know because sometimes go up to 2 miles away from the car (I realize that's a lot less than most people) but wanted to know the likelihood of the XPLORE system failing. I have had some times that I thought I was in, but wasn't, but in tho...

Re: Fischer Factory in jeopardy

Hoping all the employees stay safe! My heart breaks for the people in Ukraine. My grandma, babushka, who became an ancestor over 30 years ago, was born in Ukraine, and it would break her heart to see what's happening there now. Although I was born in that place that starts with an "R", we had to esc...

Re: Getting Xplore boots in the US, also XPLORE system question

Thanks everyone! Update: even though whenever I go to REI.com and search "Alpina Alaska" the XP doesn't come up (whereas the BC, 75, and Heat do), it turns out that they do have them at REI. I found out from Customer Service and the only way to find them was through this link which I'm sharing here ...

Getting Xplore boots in the US, also XPLORE system question

Hello community, I've been waiting for REI to get the XPLORE boots (checking every day) with no success. Does anyone know the best place to get XPLORE boots in the US if REI keeps not having them? Or if they will actually have them soon? I was looking at Varuste but I don't know how much the customs...

Re: S bound 98 vs excursion 88

Thanks Gareth and everyone, I haven't tried the 88, but have been wondering whether the 88 might struggle with a curve like the one at the bottom of the hill shown in this picture. I noticed that back when I used Rossignol BC-90's, I was a bit nervous if taking on that curve on an icy day with speed...
