Product description

Whether you live close to a city park or by mountains., OAC KAR gives you the possibility to hike, climb, ski and enjoy the snow. Forget all the hard gear - Ski simply. Kar is new concept for BC touring.

This ski combines a Nordic BC ski, a telemark/touring ski and a snowshoe. A relatively short and wide ski is elastic and lightweight, due to the unique Braid box construction. The Braid box with the compression resistant elastic foam core gives the maximal strength and maximal flexibility to the ski. No matter what kind of snow you are skiing, the tip of the ski floats on top of the snow. At the very same time KAR has good edge control, even in hard packed snow. The short and wide ski is super agile which allows you to have quick and easy turns even in the gnarliest bushes.

The KAR has an integrated skin, which is recessed to the base. Because of the skin's shape & the Swiss made Mix quality skin, the ski is competent even for freeride skiing at any slope you'll find. If you like bit smaller dose of adrenalin, you can slower the speed by leaning back and taking the ski of from the fall line. This makes BC access possible also for beginners and recreational skiers. By having the recessed, permanent skins you can forget grip wax problems and hassle with packing the skins. Skiing uphill with KAR is easy.

Redesigned for 2021, the new EA Universal Binding now comes in a lighter, higher-performing design, while still maintaining all of its original ease-of-use.

Featuring slimmer ratchet buckles, weight-saving straps, and a reengineered heel unit, the new EA Universal Binding is assembled entirely from parts made in the EU. Now, our binding feels even lighter on your feet, and all without sacrificing any long-term durability. In addition, we have also incorporated more spring power into the binding, allowing for both better stability and greater edge control.

Whether you enjoy the uphill workout, value the freedom of movement on the flats, or relish the thrill of the descent, the redesigned EA Universal Binding has improvements that every Skinbased™ enthusiast will appreciate.

The OAC EA Universal Binding is designed to work with a wide selection of flexible-soled shoes, eliminating the need for a dedicated pair or ski boots. Built entirely in the EU from the highest quality materials, the EA Binding will perform even in the harshest environments. The thick flexplate and powerful hinge mechanism provide a solid ski feel and offer excellent lateral stability. Compatible with a large range of shoe sizes and styles, the EA Universal Binding is suitable for most adult size boots. The base unit features a spring mechanism which doubles as an adjustment lever, allowing for in-the-field size adjustments, even while wearing gloves!

Suitable for shoes with sole length of 24-38 cm. The sole of the shoe must bend from the ball of the foot. 
Not suitable for ice climbing or mountaineering boots

The skis work great and are very handy in the woods. There has been a bit of wrestling with the bandages due to the fact that there is ice left between the bandages to loosen the bandage. Otherwise a working package.
