CamembertNot only on the ups. I've gained a lot of trust in my Plums last years. Those things are solid. No weird pre-releases or anything. I can shred the shit out of them. Plus the ski looks like the 190 Bibby I had in the past, great ski, now got even better.. Cant wait!
I honestly can't figure out what the big difference is. Aside from about 130 grams in weight, which is pretty minimal, and they're a touch softer. Seems same.
JD.Have the exact setup but just in last years stuff. Nice taste my friend.
how do you like the vices? from what i hear, they're bigger than the I/O which is what i was lookin for, but not as huge as the I/Ox. is swapping lenses easy?
DeebieSkeebieshow do you like the vices? from what i hear, they're bigger than the I/O which is what i was lookin for, but not as huge as the I/Ox. is swapping lenses easy?
Oh damn I thought they were I/O's. I didn't look close enough... But honestly they look just like them and it seems like the lens changing system is pretty much the same anyway.

yeah they look fairly easy, not within seconds but definitely could swap them out on the chair ride up.
I love the I/O's though, ive had the same pair for the last 4 seasons now. Best goggles in the market, I think. if they combined the super easy interchangability of the I/O with the larger lense of the vice, they;d have the perfect goggle.

How much larger are the iox compared to the i/o? I had i/o for a couple seasons but i ended up selling them on here to magnus because they were a little small on my face.

I have both and the iox is not that much bigger. Theyre close enough in size where both of them fit my face

Damn. I think the ussue was the nose part. The goggles were a little to tight which made the nose to wide so then the lenses always fogged up if i stayed in the same spot for too long.
I ended up buying the scott off grid goggles and you can change olhow tight that part is.

Theyre pretty big..they fit my face well. I had i/o last year for a little bit but i wanted more room to look around so i picked up a pair on here for 80 with 3 lenses..but if they seemed a little small id go for the vice for sure

from my research (google image searching of the vice on peoples heads), it looks like its a step bigger than the I/O but smaller than the I/Ox. Basically a perfect medium of the two minus the super easy interchangeability, though I hear its hard at all with the vice.

Truth. My plums released much higher than my radicals and it is confidence inspiring. That said I also saw BOTH heels completely explode off the back of a buddy's skis on a flat landing with plums too, so don't think they're bomb proof, please. They still have their weak points.

I honestly have no idea. It was a long walk down for him though haha... And I don't mean to besmirch plums by any means, except that the company can be tough to deal with if something goes wrong. Other than that- STELLAR binding. Extremely secure!!

How big? Some stuff you should just not be jumping off when on tech heels.
J.D.How big? Some stuff you should just not be jumping off when on tech heels.
Oh, agreed 100%! I'd say maybe 10'? The landing was flat hard snow though, so that's the majority of the problem right there- less of the fall and more of the sudden stop at the end. Bad idea for a bigger guy, shouldn't have sent that but I don't think anybody would have expected that kind of damage even given the weird landing. That's the only reason I shared it- sometimes when you're feeling confident you do shit you shouldn't and shit breaks in ways it shouldn't. I doubt he will ever have a problem but I just wanted to pass that along so he can avoid that kind of situation if it's ever presented to him.
My buddy clipped one of the left hand fences on Racer's Edge and tumbled into the woods. Had to climb a tree to grab his ski.
hit the first big jump in the park.. really warm day so the snow was sticky slush.. didnt put enough effort in stopping so i let the fence do it for me
They're going for a great price on Backcountry right now. Only problem is the sizing. I generally wear a large and due to lack of stack had to upsize to an XL. I'm 6'1 so fingers crossed. If it doesn't fit I'll probably unload it on newschoolers.
