Then i have an old fleece and a lightly insulated jacket. I am pondering to substitute the jacket with a shell+layer combo, but I am also thinking to replace the old fleece. For when it’s really cold I wear the Patagonia R1 between the first layer and the fleece. OR i put the Patagonia R3…[Read more] Gregor started the topic Salomon Malamute vs Burton Driver X in the forum Boots 1 year, 8 months ago Hi everyone, saw there are old threads already but i am trying to compare latest versions. Did you have the chance to try both? Which one do you prefer? how do they compare? pros and cons? i plan to use them with Superfeet Orange insole (due to my flat foot) thanks Gregor started the topic newbie: disadvantage vs solid board? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 2 years, 4 months ago read few comments here and there about the quality of ride with a split vs solid board. Are there any difference? can you use split on a groomed piste? I am considering to invest in a splitboard, but i wonder if it will really substitute my current solid board (i.e. using it everytime I go on piste as well), or it will be used only when I know…[Read more] Gregor replied to the topic Snowshoes first instead? or straight to split? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 2 years, 4 months ago Wow, all pretty negative I see. Thanks for the feedback. Also my friends snowboarders believe splitboard is an incredible and useless effort, they say “you save the daily skypass tkt and do just one ride”. I think it’s just a different way to experience the mountain and thought snowshoeing was another nice way to do it. Gregor started the topic Snowshoes first instead? or straight to split? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 2 years, 4 months ago Considering entering into snowshoeing + snowboard world. Pondering to pull the trigger on MSR Lightning Ascent and maybe a better powder board. I think this would allow more versatility and money saving before assessing how much into it I am. Some other suggested to start directly with splitboarding, but the entry ticket is not the cheapest…[Read more] Gregor replied to the topic Backpack: Mammut Nirvana vs Osprey Kamber in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 4 months ago You are right! In the meanwhile I also discovered the Gregory Targhee 26 and the BCA Stash 30. They seem to have some more features than Ride. How would you compare these to Mammut? Gregor replied to the topic Backpack: Mammut Nirvana vs Osprey Kamber in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 4 months ago thanks a lot so far i had only the chance to see in a store the Ride 22 and the Pro 25, and they both looked very big/long, and the Pro in particular looked also preatty heavy. I am a novice, but i wonder what cannot fit into the 22l Ride. I wonder how necessary is the back opening option. I also saw (online) the BCA Stash, which looks solid Gregor replied to the topic Backpack: Mammut Nirvana vs Osprey Kamber in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 4 months ago thanks i am also considering now the Nirvana Ride 22l, which doesnt have the back zip opening. I read many reviews about the Osprey, and people complain that the back access requires to unbuckle the shoulder straps first. Gregor started the topic Backpack: Mammut Nirvana vs Osprey Kamber in the forum The Gear Room 2 years, 4 months ago Hi everyone trying to decide between these backpacks. I’d like to stay under 25liters, would like to have the helmet holder. Mammut Nirvana Ride 22l Mammut Nirvana Pro 25l Osprey Kamber 22l The Osprey is the one i like the most as it seems more streamlined/slim, but has no lateral attachment strings and read some reviews complaining about lack…[Read more]
