As a concept, these are absolutely amazing. Skis and snowshoes in the same package and you can use your own shoes. These are the second OAC skis that I own (the other being the KAR 149). In use, I have noticed that these have a rather narrow purpose in the endgame and the conditions must be just right and not almost.
For light speeding in relatively flat forest terrains, these go very well. If there is a need to go up a slightly steeper hill, with a variable snow surface, the features run out.
I'm going to switch to splitboards, with which you can go up the hill and can also go down it relatively safely. These remain in storage, for occasional use in the forest.

Incredibly good for moving in the snow and for immersive conditions on ice. I myself am an active ice skater and I have to move a lot on the ice during the winter. I can't help but recommend these to everyone for moving in nature and on ice! The bandages are really sturdy and easy to use. It has many adjustment features and fits any kind of shoe. I personally use a lot of sliding snowshoes with the ice Eva boot, which is quite large. These shoes also go well with bandages!
Really nice skis, but the bindings are a bit flimsy. Yes, a traditional 75mm rat trap bandage for these and a low leather mono was an ace combination. Of course, the plus is the adjustability. For example, a size 44 felt lining fits the boots. Of course, you can't talk about durability then.

Tried it in the forest, in the field and on ice, in the forest there were small problems with the load capacity, but the snow was really soft in places and there was a lot of snow, otherwise they have worked very well for what they are intended for. The bindings are sometimes a little loose, especially in the forest where they rub against the branches and others, otherwise these worked fine.

After a couple of months and various trips, I still can't think of anything bad to say. They are wonderful tools for moving in the forest and fells. With these skis, you can have fun almost anywhere. Only with an icy wind they are not in their element, but I already knew that when I bought it and I didn't expect anything else. They feel high-quality and still make you sigh with delight at their appearance. I wish us many trips together!
