I think I have some from size 28.5s, if your interested let me know.

I think that out of the box with zero mods the backlands may be a better boot, especially if your a bigger guy. But if you are willing to do the mods the TLT/Speedfit is your best option. So many of us have been riding them for years and years, perfecting the mods to get the right flex that splitboarders need.

Id look for something like these, they should hold up a bit longer

Your local hardware store, Home Depot, Lowes, etc should have coated stainless steel wire and the appropriate sized crimps. If you don’t have access to that a quick amazon search found a bunch of options.

Ive seen there product and was interested in it but could not find any good reviews at the time. I offered to do a review or to see if they were interested in donating a couple of bottles to the Silverton Splitfest for us to try out and they declined. I was about to spend $20 on an unknown product with no reviews.

Ive been using this stove backpacking into september and october for 3 years now. It has a pretty good following in the ultralight backpacking community. Similar to the MSR but lighter and cheaper. I bought mine for less than $5 when they were first introduced. They can still be found on ebay pretty cheap. Only weights 25 grams…[Read more]

none of the photos will load for me?

Worth checking out the new Atomic Backland Ultimate boot. Looks very promising also.

It looks like the speedfit took its place, just looking quickly I dont see any differences.

Good thing I can just plop a new set of liners in my TLT6s and get a few more years out of them!

Try using gorilla tape to fill the gap and leave some extra tape between the cuts so that it can move when the boot flexes. Its been working on my TLTs.

For the most part I like to have my heel free unless I know I’m going to be going FAST (icy luge track to the car with cold beer waiting). I dont like to have my heel locked for long flats like you mentioned, having the heel free allows a longer more comfortable slide and glide. When I do know that I will be skiing fast ill take the time to do…[Read more]

Thats strong enough to hold skins in place? Good solution for odd shaped tail clips like swallow tails that might not accept the standard shaped attachments.

A skier friend of ours had some “Brazilians” here in the San Juans and I would intentionally skin behind him just to laugh and watch him slip on the way up…. I think they made it out for 3 tours and were up for sale after that.

I would expect the SAME board just in a different length to ride about the same except for the characteristics that would normally change in any other snowboard when the length is changed. I have never seen someone compare a snowboard in two different lengths and have much to say about it other than the length difference.

Here is the mod that allows you to lock the upper cuff (that should tighten up any space allowing snow in) but doesnt lock you into ski mode.
