Re: Long Distance XC race kit

I'd recommend some kind of internal vest to store food / water on your chest. Ditch the gloves. The only mitts I've found to like for this sort of thing are the liners for the OR altimitts. For overmitts look at the mountain equipment citadels. Ditto on the shelter. Modern small pyramids are just as...

Re: Kick and Glide in High Wind

What's the problem? Headwind? use full skins. I can't see a situation where changing to snowshoes would be remotely beneficial.

Re: Xplore - now SkateX

Asnes X Skin - mohair

Selling a pair of used kicker skins. Don't have the little storage bag.
They have seen decent miles but still work fine. The glue is good enough, but would benefit from re-touching soon.
$25 shipped in the USA

Re: Brooks Range Alaska - Winter Classic Trip report

I wonder if the new xplore binding has solved the issue with icing up. Also wondering what options there are for super warm non-plastic boots that have good support for downhill turns. Xplore is likely an improvement over NNN BC, but that's not saying much. The thing that most concerns me is that s...

Re: Brooks Range Alaska - Winter Classic Trip report

It looked like one person in your group was using NNN BC, which I know are typically not advised by the people into the Winter Classics events. How did his boots seem to do versus the AT toe piece approach? Yes, John was using the Alfa polar boots with intuition liners. The good is his feet were wa...

Re: Brooks Range Alaska - Winter Classic Trip report

Yep, Just toes pieces on BC55's. The heals are simple plates with a wire riser.
Locking the boot cuff is enough to survive most things.
