I&#39;m super torn between these and the Kikus... I&#39;ve been a Volkl girl thru and thru for years, but I&#39;m not sure about the total rocker design of the Kiku this year. I&#39;ve had both recommended to me, but I&#39;m not going to be able to demo both before purchasing as no one in the Vail area will set up Kikus to demo. I had my mitts on the Pandoras the other day and I liked them, but they felt REALLY soft when I flexed them. I need a little insight. Thanks! question_141241 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:20:36 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Electric-EG2-Goggle/ELC0190M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_141204#question_141204 Electric EG2 Goggle <br /><br />Can you see your eyes through the Missile Grey-Bronze/ Green Chrome ones?

What kind of beta do you all have on mounting position? I&#39;ve heard +3 might ski short, but thinking I might want that extra tail when dropping cliffs. Also, does the new graphic run into the discrepencies on where the mounting points fall like last year&#39;s model did? question_141182 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:48:03 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Oakley-Splice-Goggle/OAK2362M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_141159#question_141159 Oakley Splice Goggle<br /><br />are there polarized lens options for this google?<br />if i am thinking correctly it would be vr28 and hi amber(yellow)<br />or am i wrong? question_141159 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:26:26 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Oakley-Splice-Goggle-Polarized/OAK2363M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_141106#question_141106 Oakley Splice Goggle - Polarized<br /><br />what conditions is the grey useless in, and what conditions are its strengths? question_141106 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:42:31 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Lange-Super-Banshee-Ski-Boot-Mens/DYN0270M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_141094#question_141094 Lange Super Banshee Ski Boot - Men's<br /><br />I have been loving Lang&#39;s World Cup style boots for the last 10 years, but have since stopped racing and am looking for a more forgiving/comfortable boot without compromising edge control (east coast skier). I understand there will always be a performance compromise, but these boots (and more so the Banshee Pros) were recommended to me by a demo team friend, and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a similar decision, or had some insight as to whether or not these boots would be a suitable substitute to the race shack style for all mountain very advanced skiing. It&#39;s a difficult decision for me, because I need something this year that isn&#39;t going to beat me up so much without a serious loss in performance. Been out of the market for a while, so any advice would help (ps I&#39;m a Lange man only).
