Pro Review:
Dimensions: 141/112/128mm
The Wailer 112 RP2 comes in three different construction forms: the Pure3, the Tour1, and the Foundation.
The following characteristics are of the Tour1 construction:
Tour 1 construction is meant to be lightweight, emphasize on lightweight since the Wailer 112 RP2 comes in at a scant 1,550 grams! Other skis in the same genre can weigh hundreds of grams heavier.
Obviously this low weight helps with the ‘tour’ side of ski touring.
Fast ascents mean you can get in more laps, more turns.
On the inside is a low-density, lightweight Balsa wood core and an aerospace carbon laminate.
DPS claims that this material combination not only keeps the weight low, but also creates a damp and torsionally stiff ski.
My Review:
I had these mounted with 2021Dynafit ST Rotation 10 (Release 4-10), with 22.
5mm BSL adjustment.
My boot is 295mm or Mondo25.
5, so you could size up to at least 310mm or Mondo 27ish without having to remount the ski binding.
These skis have been in my quiver for yes 4 years and skied about 10 VERY LIGHT adventures.
Never a touch of anything but pow have these bases skied.
They are essentially newer lightly used.
The set includes skins; Black Diamond Glidelites and DPS’s proprietary Phantom Glide permanent ski wax.
List in the day: skis-$1099, bindings-$599, skins-$150, Phantom treatment-$100.
Let’s see how my first listing goes: List Price-$1950.
Sell Price-$1000.
That’s about $100 a day rental fee.
So get out there and use your equipment skiers (and that’s IF I recoup a grand).
