Wow, looks great -- all the advantages of the Diamir, but almost a
full two pounds lighter, and with what might be a tighter heel unit
coupling.
But have you heard anything else about it? Silvretta's own website
has nothing on it, so I'm wondering if this is just a prototype that
is far from being final?


I did some checking and found it won't be available in North America
this season. Sport Conrad in Germany will be carrying it. I might have
to get a pair sent over from them.

It has just been previewed at an exhibition in Grenoble in the French
Alps. No one has managed to test it yet, it looks promising but given
some of their earlier misses maybe it is worth waiting for some of the
wrinkles to be ironed out. However the weight looks really interesting.
