Is the Atomic Punx 5 a good choice?

Hello,
I am searching a very soft ski. So I thought the Line Honey Badger would be a nice option. But then I saw the Atomic Punx Five 2017/2018. Is the Punx Five very soft? And do you think the ski durable enough for the next two seasons?

Not sure about the punx 5 but I have 2013 punx and they are anything but soft. They are pretty stiff. Durability wise mine have lasted 4 seasons but only 10 or so days a season and they are still alive, a few edge cracks but otherwise all good.

If you only skied around 40 days or so on them and they already have edge cracks I would be very concerned about how that ski was built quality wise. As for ski pick the honey badger it’s soft and pretty durable.

I am 100kg, I would imagine that it would be inevitable after jumping on rails enough. After five years as well I wouldn’t expect the metal edge to hold up, they got stored for two years under the house also!
