Vishnu wet on jumps?

I would love to pick up a pair of wets next season because they look so fucking fun! But the only thing holding me back is their jump performance. The roofbox review actually says they can handle jumps pretty well which is why I am considering them because initially I thought they would just be completely noodles. I ski 50/50 jumps and Rails but my home mountain only has like 45 footers. Will they handle these fine? I also hit like a 70 footer but just once a year so not a big deal. Mainly just want to know general jump performance and maybe a comparison to another ski? Thanks bros

Somewhere I read something like they are stiff enough where they need to be so as long as you land right (not back seat etc) you will be good

Definitely not optimal for jumps. Very very soft, not something id trust on jumps over 30 feet, but then again im not very good on jumps and tend not to land centered....

I've never ridden the wet before, but from the videos I've seen of people hitting jumps with them, it looks terrifying. I could be wrong, but they just don't look like they're great when it comes to jumps.

I think they'd be more than fine under 50.

They are extremely soft and flexible so I would be hesitant to use them on jumps over 50, especially if you tend to land backseat a lot
