- Yes and No. Yes it works, no people probably won't lose
- respect for you, just probably be kind of jealous that
- their skis don't look quite as good as yours.
-
- It won't protect you from everything, but I definitely
- recommend it for skis out here in the east where the dork
- factor can be quite high. I put it on my skis last year
- after a semi-unhappy trip to Roundtop. Brand new skis,
- first time out on them EVER and a dork clips my tail,
- sending both of us spinning, but also leaving me with a
- nice slice on my brand new K2s to commemorate the event.
- GRRrrrrrrrrrrrr.....didn't anybody ever tell this guy you
- set an edge on the snow and not on somebody else's ski's?
-
- Anyways, for the $15 I paid for it, I'd say it was worth it.
- They(the skisaver skins) are looking kind of ratty now
- after 1.25 seasons, but at least those scrapes and gouges
- aren't on my skis...

-
- Ummm....no, probably not. I have not found this to be a
- side effect, although I was kind of eyeing this really cool Spyder
- parka a few days ago...danger Will Robinson..
