double thick base and edges, twice the industry standard thickness, and a warranty that actually covers rail skiing!

I checked out those skis and I really like them, how light are they? and how thick are their edges. I see that they are double the thickness but what are the numbers?

The edges are 2.4mm instead of 1.2mm

The weight is one of my favorite aspects of the Stingers, These are the lightest skis I have ever been on that can still stand up to a beating, there are some "light" skis but they are flimsy pieces of crap that break super fast. An entire season of bouncing around on concrete and rails and they still ski and flex like new.

Moment Vice has to be up there. Lighter than the ON3P Filthy and really any top ski up there, still has great durability, Im on a season and a half and they still have some life left, though I lost about an inch of edge but that doesn't do much. I treated the edge and its been holding up. Ive been on them for close to 90 days now

That's good to hear, I have the filthy now and they're really good and I was thinking of the vices for next season
