Just right for roaring in the forest. There's no basis for comparison with other brands and models, but no complaints.

Guaranteed Finnish quality. Been in heavy use for 7 years now and we'll be back next winter!

Good sliding snow skis. They've been used a lot. These are a compromise, but for the better. The skins work well in almost any weather. The same way as cross-country skis. Skis get dents when touring and some of the white plastic on the tips has come off. The plastic seems to be remarkably soft, so I guess it was intended as a sacrifice in these.

Very versatile when moving in fields, forests and on ice. Excellent glide even in +1 degree snow. Good grip properties too. Easy to use and sufficiently sturdy bindings. No complaints!

Nice games!

The initial impression is quite “plasticky”. I bought these for forest walks, but after just a couple of uses the plastic part on the back of the sole started to come off. I will file a complaint and have it repaired. There are also quite a few scratches on the sole after these couple of uses, so I wonder how they will hold up to use…

I've only been able to test them on hard, heavy snow, but so far they've felt really good. The notch at the front of the shoe should be wider, as I have big feet (size 46) I'll have to leave my warmest boots at home.

I have these at a cottage in Lapland, but I don't use them very much because I haven't figured out what kind of snow they would be good on yet. I usually use them on alpine or forest skis.

Exactly what I have been missing for a long time between touring, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in our low mountain range and for outdoor trips!!! Varuste with ordering, shipping etc. as always perfect!!!!!!👌

Great product, nice in powder, perfect for walking. Only one regret, that there are no shims for the climbs, but I will tinker with some.

No slipping, otherwise an ok ski.

Very good product Good sales site but very very slow delivery (about 3 weeks)

Worked as expected.

Easy-to-use bandages that glide well, keep the hairs in gentle ups and downs. The only small minus is the shallowness of the beak - it falls quite easily under the hang on steep descents.

— Show original

Handy length even in denser forest, good grip on covers and hairs.

Decent in deep snow but not as good as advertised in my opinion. Worthless when hardpacked, slopey.

— Show original

Great tricks for the guy who enjoys working in the forest and working in the forest.

— Show original

A few runs done. Clever in the forest in thick snow. Stays on the surface even in looser snow and can easily climb a slightly steeper snow slope. You can go downhill then it's a pretty calm ride, but you can't get everything if you don't have a removable hair. The resulting good track compacts appropriately and does not sink the next day, even when skiing on traditional skis. The bindings worked really well with different shoes as long as you can adjust them.

— Show original

Works in soft snow. The stock does not hold sideways at all.

— Show original

Inadequate connection threads but very interesting product

— Show original

A good set

— Show original

There have been great games there in the dense meticko rotation in the trees, and it has been quite a long day's journeys with these. On harder ones, it likes to slip a little too much to the sides.

— Show original

Better in fresh snow than on a hard surface. The round tip floats well, but makes it more difficult to control the ski on beaten trails.

— Show original

For the first time I wore my own skis on a ski run due to the bad season and it was really nice. Good and easy bindings and good skis.

— Show original

Nicely fitting and easily adjustable bandage. A good, big enough grip to be able to climb the slopes. The steel edge makes it easier to walk at intersections and hold sideways.

— Show original

These are especially nice to move around even in a dense forest when the weather is right! They slip on the spring coat. The ties come off easily from my own shoes, so I sometimes have to reattach them. I am happy with the sliding snowshoes, and that I chose these instead of the shorter model. These carry a 50 kg user well, but in some places the ski can sink into the snow (the ski is designed to lift off the snow easily).

— Show original

Truly superb, both uphill and downhill. Unless there are patches of ice.

— Show original

High-quality and smart. Especially good in dense forest, where traditional hunting skis are too long.

— Show original

Excellent on soft snow. Really enjoyable to slide and fall. It doesn't work as hard as a straight sliding snowshoe... sideways sliding, the edge doesn't like it. For those who want to go to the fells, preferably downhill skiing.

— Show original

Moves well in the forest with a 60 kg user without sinking.

— Show original

Tried up the hill today, complete satisfaction. Tried it on the black slope Stoh in Špindlerův Mlýn. The descent on the slope was more difficult because of the ice, but on untreated snow of 10/20 cm it was no problem, they held the feet quite well, but it would be good to think of something to fix the heel, but from on my side sufficient skis light and controllable up the hill without any problems and the use of one shoe.

— Show original

After all, the pullers work, I haven't been able to test them in soft powder snow yet, when I got the hankies. Easy to move, agile in turns and the fur base seems to hold pretty well on gentle climbs. The top ties could have slightly larger holes, could be locked with e.g. a thin "wire lock", so that it wouldn't go astray at the sausage roasting place?

The snow melted immediately after the purchase, but the cookies are still in the closet!

OAC Kar 149 snowshoes and EA 2.0 bindings work very well with Peltonen Metsä poles and Meindl Sölde boots. An excellent package for a winter forest trip.

— Show original

The previous generation OAC Kar 147 sliding snowshoes have 5 years of experience. Compared to them, the 149s are clearly lighter, and when the tip of the "ski" rises better than before over dead ends or unevenness, these are excellent "lylys". But unfortunately, similar strides have not been made in ties. The biggest and at the same time the only trouble comes from the loudness of the ties. I personally use two different types of footwear, with the others (hiking boots) the laces squeak with almost every kick, no matter how you adjust the laces. Other footwear do not have the same problem. The same problem does not occur with ties from a competing manufacturer. 5 stars for the straps and 3 stars for the bindings.

The bandages were easy to attach and easy to use.

They work best in closed air. Gliding a little too good; the highlands are a bit challenging to climb.

Exactly as I expected. Top Finnish product. The holding hairs work great!

— Show original

Excellent equipment for moving in the terrain. The ties work great and the shoes can be fastened securely and effortlessly.

— Show original

After much consideration, I ended up with KAR149 sliding snowshoes instead of hunting skis. A successful choice. Project a little over 60cm and progressing in open forest did not cause any problems. You don't need to harden your boots much when the sliding snowshoes are almost on the surface (my weight was approx. 90 kg with the equipment last time). You can't get everything, so steeper climbs should be taken sideways or on a serpentine. Worked very well in the lowlands. Controllable in the powder project and so far has never once started a project where it would have been bumped. No experience yet with a strong spirit, but the lack of lateral grip will probably cause challenges.

— Show original

A durable and functional product, the price-quality ratio is right.

— Show original

Good sliding snowshoes! It works really well even in thick hair. Lateral grip should be better when traveling on a harder surface. When driving on snowy and softer surfaces, these work great. I recommend!

— Show original

The licks work great, it was a good choice! However, there is room for improvement in the appearance of the bandages! A functional whole, I mainly ski on ice in suitable snow, they are convenient when you don't need separate skis and because of their size, they are easy to carry with you even on public transport!

— Show original

Very clever sliding snowshoes. Probably at its best with the stock, but now it's already gone on soft snow in Lapland. Good grip. Easy to use. Ties are easy to put on shoes. I personally use Sorel winter shoes, but Nokia winter boots also work well.

Absolutely lovely and agile even in varied terrain. Ties are easy as long as you understand.

REALLY GOOD IN SOFT SNOW.

The ties were easy to attach and easy to lock and unlock. Easy and relaxed exercise in the fields and in the forest.

Really good ones👌

The bandages should have pads. Now just plain rubber. Older versions are more comfortable when they have padding.

— Show original

My first sliding snowshoes, and after using a pair they work very well. Fits 165 cm tall, probably longer. Agile but balanced in the forest.

— Show original

I have been satisfied. At its best on soft snow.

— Show original

The set has been used a couple of times in snow (25 - 35 cm) in different terrains. In these conditions, they have been clearly lighter to use than snowshoes. They also don't sink as badly into the snow. Leg sliding is also a lighter exercise than lifting! The bindings have worked well with hiking boots. The lateral grip of the skis could perhaps be improved a little with some floor plan, otherwise OK.

— Show original

The snowshoes seem to work as expected. The bandages seem to work well even at a temperature of -25. The grip hairs work well, although in fresh powder snow the grip is understandably a little worse. As a small minus, when used in extreme cold, the shoes and bandages probably caused "coughing" as a contact effect. The directional stability was surprisingly good compared to the shape of the skis. These tools can be recommended for hunting, or otherwise for moving in difficult terrain.

— Show original

A package that works with the experience of a few uses. The ties were easy to install with the given instructions. I recommend!

👌🏼

— Show original

Really comfortable to ski, the carrying capacity is somehow enough even in soft snow. The skins even have a surprisingly good grip. Small cons: - Adjusting the bindings for different shoes is easy in principle, but reading the scale is almost impossible, which means you always have to count the steps in practice. - Some kind of sticker with such a hard glue that it is difficult to remove is stuck on the ski at the tip. And if you don't remove it, the sticker collects the snowball exactly where it should last.

The assembly is easy, the quality is good. I wanted to use it together with a Pulka for the climb to a hut (2087 m) and from there up a mountain (2,501 m) in the Swiss Alps: https://www.spitzmeilenhuette.ch/winter/zustieg Unfortunately, this type of snow ski boots is more suitable for flat, slightly hilly tundra terrain with fresh snow and not for steep, side-sloping and icy slopes on the ascent and descent. If there is a straight approach on a farm road that is not too steep, they would be suitable. From a slope of approx. 20° they are not suitable for rough/icy conditions. I slipped sideways or backwards. I then took them off, put on MSR snowshoes and carried the skis upstairs. With the mountain boots and bindings, I didn't dare go downhill, even in the snow conditions with a slope of around 20° - 30°, because I didn't have enough grip. I won't be returning it as there may still be an opportunity for flatter terrain. I would also try to build crampons ("Jääraudat") myself, adapt them from others or ask Varuste.net: Are there crampons (“Jääraudat”) for the OAC KAR149 + EA 2.0 bands?

— Show original

Get rid of the ski bag! Skis are good for going in the forest and even on a snowy road. Only the snow is an obstacle to speed. The skis carry surprisingly well even in snow, even though the guy has weight on the skis. The bandages are comfortable and easy to use. Fits many shoes.

Very funny! ☃️😀❄️

The delivery was fast, when inspecting the ties, a headache was caused by a screw that didn't want to go all the way to the bottom, after asking for tips, however, it turned out that with force, that's how it goes. It could be mentioned here in general that you should be rigid. Otherwise, really great spending games.

Based on a year's experience, good sliding snowshoes. Meindl Sölden shoes work well with ties.

They work well for personal use in the forest. Easy and good ties to use with different shoes.

A few kilometers of testing behind and mostly satisfied. The side grip is a big minus because it doesn't really seem to be there. I would have liked a bit more grip even on the uphills. But otherwise, nice vermeets for a closed project. The ties seem good and sturdy and easy to install.

— Show original

Beautiful skis in deep snow, very good föyt and the tip of the ski strives up towards the outside. Very happy

— Show original

I got sliding snowshoes for skiing in unpiste areas, and I thought that an angular and slightly longer ski would allow better sliding, skiing on a hard surface and some kind of possibility for downhill. However, it seems that sliding snowshoes are a bit like a Swiss link; all the features are there, but nowhere is it really good. However, it works to some extent and the investment is not too big...

— Show original

It's easy to get tested and requires learning, but practice makes a lumberjack, or whatever?

Based on a few uses, worked as expected. Considerably more agile than my old hunts. The bandages are easy to use.

A great product, easy to complete assembly and especially good in deep snow. Delivered in quick time too.

When I got the bindings properly adjusted, it worked like a model. Now, though, it's only freezing snow, so we're going deep in the forest.

A great package. In deeper powder, you could have bigger skis, but normally this size is enough.

— Show original

With the fixing screws of the tip part of the bindings, it took some time to get them in place, otherwise fixing the bindings was simple. The bindings were well adjusted for 37 shoes and the "skis" stay well and firmly on the feet. Tested now three times in nearby forests, it's easy to move around.

Agile, steel edges are quite useless.

Handy especially on soft snow, where the skis just sink into the project.

Absolutely top product, last winter's best means of movement in nature, what was it now to wait for the snow to come again, you wouldn't be able to go. I couldn't walk a meter with normal snowshoes after the OAC kar.

Great and high-quality sliding snowshoes! These 149cm long snowshoes work for a 167cm woman and a 180cm man.

There are high-quality sliding snowshoes. The glide is not very good, did the mass of the "skier" over 110 kg affect it? Next winter, the mass will be less than 100 kg and maybe the sliding will improve...

— Show original

A positive surprise! These are fun! Thanks to its convenient size, it is easy to take with you. Comfortable to use. They are well suited for pulling a box. They went better in closed than my friend's downhill skis. On ice and in really hard snow, it skids to the side, which is annoying. That is, if there is only uphill ahead, I wouldn't go with these. Below the fells, I think they work everywhere (except on snow-free ice).

— Show original

Really nice crampons, when there is even a little load-bearing layer under the snow. Maximum grip in the highlands. They travel comfortably inside the car. I haven't been able to try it in the immersion wood.

— Show original

Hey. I was able to ski Oac kar149 in the last challenging plus snow conditions and the skis seemed to be sturdy and pleasant. The only bad part was the bindings when the bindings didn't hold the shoe and many times the shoe came off the bindings☹️ Earlier skis were Altai Hok145 + X-trace bindings, so these bindings didn't have the problem of coming off in the middle of skiing.

— Show original

Skis are damn convenient! Compared to the old snow skis, going with the spring hang was the best thing a person can do with a pair of boots... recommendations from here if you are wondering if you can do anything with these....

— Show original

Functional skis in wet conditions, where they are surprisingly durable. The basic weakness of the ski model (also applies to other similar ones) is the lack of lateral grip, which disturbs on harder surfaces. With the Ahkio, the longitudinal grip also ends when the hill is steep (as with other types of skis), for which situations you would need the possibility to attach additional skins - now the blunt and wide tip does not allow the use of ready-made skins. A bigger concern is the EA 2.0 bindings, where the pursuit of lightness and quick adjustability (for rental companies?) has come before durability. The adjustment piece of the second binding came off and was lost in the downhill fall of the powder project. I think they will last in normal skiing positions, but I wouldn't dare go deep into the wilderness without spare parts.

— Show original

An ok product. The former ones were 160 cm and narrower, so it seemed more difficult to ski at first. Now in use with grandchildren and after training it started to run smoothly. I wouldn't change to these shorter ones myself.

After a few two-hour forest runs - I'm satisfied with the product. The skis are at their best in a tight fit, work both in the forest and in the field. Very handy in the forest when they are short (149) and the fur base holds quite well on climbs. These are not ski-style skis, as the name suggests, but they are great for slowly, enjoying progress! Commissioning was easy and quick. Likewise the use of bandages. Sievi's lumberjack safety shoes fit the bindings well, and I think that when skiing, the shoe/binding always felt like a sturdy combination.

— Show original

The best! The bandages are easy to install and use. The fur on the bottom holds and the skid works both in frozen snow and in slush. Exercising with these creates a feeling of freedom, you can cover even longer distances with a low heart rate. Fat burns and fitness improves.

— Show original

Easy deployment. The ties were pre-attached, so all you had to do was attach the rest of the parts without tools. The snowshoes were as expected, and worked well in both powder and slush. The snowshoes wear surprisingly well. You can't go hard with those, but it's much more comfortable to go than with normal snowshoes, and you can slide downhill. Steep uphills have to go either sideways or gently up, but otherwise the grips hold well.

— Show original

OAC Kar sliding snowshoes have been considered a classic of domestic sliding snowshoes. And according to my own experiences, no reason. The installation of the bandages is well-instructed and went smoothly. The first experience of sliding snowshoes on fresh snow was wonderful: a beautiful sunny day and a pristine hanky and complete silence. The equipment worked excellently and the ride was easy and stable. I recommend.

Good quality product. I had OAC XCD GT 160 in the test and they were really good. However, I ended up getting these slightly shorter and wider ones. The grip is good and the bearing capacity has been good even with the composition of this winter's snow. I dare to recommend it. User's measurements 187cm 89kg if someone compares to themselves and thinks about the functionality of these.

High-quality skis, the bindings can be adjusted well for footwear of different sizes. The sole works well in different snow conditions. The bindings sometimes creak when skiing, which is perhaps the only minus.

They have worked well in many different types of terrain and snow conditions. The hair provides good grip on uphill and downhill slopes. The ties are really quick to attach to the footwear and also to remove. Despite the steel decks, the hard bottom has little lateral grip. Not very good skiable/walking tracks on prepared tracks/tracks.

I have been very satisfied with the purchase. The OACs were already in heavy use, and there is nothing to complain about. The best thing is that you can go anywhere with them, you can find a quiet ski slope in every mountain. Previous experience has been with shorter, scale-based sliding snowshoes, and I warmly recommend this OAC model for its length and other features.

The installation of the ties was a bit difficult, I had to use a drill. The installation instructions are printed a little too small. After the initial difficulties, the sliding snowshoes were tested a couple of times, by 2 people, and found to work perfectly. I recommend.

— Show original

Great widgets. Good carrying capacity and stable to touch. In hard snow/ice, though, you can't get on top of the Kant and it drags sideways

— Show original

Having tested a few snow and sliding snowshoes, these are by far the best. Adjusting the bindings for several users or according to different shoes is very easy and fast. The metal edges support the slide and prevent it from sliding sideways, and the fur base provides enough grip, but still allows smooth sliding. It's hard to imagine that some user wouldn't be satisfied with these, if someone is considering a cheaper brand and between these, I recommend choosing these, the cheaper ones you will probably switch to these, however, when you get tired of the lack of these key features mentioned above. :)

— Show original

Snowshoes are a new acquaintance for me. In the past, I have moved in the forest with hunting skis, but I have found them clumsy, especially when going up and down. With sliding snowshoes, you can go up the slope nimbly, because the fur sole prevents sliding backwards very well. The descent is more controlled, because the sliding is slower due to the fur base. When moving sideways on a slope with sliding snowshoes, the problem was that it is easy to slip sideways, as there is no way to prevent sliding like on skis. For example, crossing a deep ditch was a challenge to get up the steep edge. It also took a while to realize that it is really a cross between hunting skis and snowshoes and the going is not the same as hunting skis, where e.g. cross-country skiing is more difficult. You had to get used to these, and realize their good features: they carry well in the snow, are agile to use, the installation and adjustment of the bindings was easy, it is possible to go uphill, they fit well in the car, and they look stylish. Being a native was absolutely decisive for me.

— Show original

Seems very good after the first try

— Show original

Now, after twenty kilometers in the woods, I can already tell firsthand how easy it is to go on hilly terrain and of course you can also get there on flat terrain. The grip is incredibly good and is enough for fairly steep climbs. Counting is also fun and easy, as long as there is even a few centimeters of snow. You can slide in every direction on the ice surface, but ice skates are for ice.

— Show original

It works well both in more immersive snow and when there is a little bit of soft snow on top of a hard base. On a completely hard surface, you tend to slide sideways and the edges don't bite very well. But for "snowshoe" use, as its name suggests, it works well and the going is smoother than with actual snowshoes, because there is still some skiability. There are also cross-country skiing features along the prepared piste for a leisurely ride. With short skis, turns go smoothly even in a dead end. Commissioning is easy, only one screw needs to be screwed. Quality product, good purchase.

— Show original

Are these good skis or snowshoes? I hope the bandages will last even in severe frosts.

— Show original

A great way to move in snowy terrain. Carry even in soft snow as well as hunting skis, but the shortness makes them more agile in dense terrain. On hard-packed snow, my skin slows down a bit, but on softer snow, you don't even notice it sliding. The bandages fit snugly and are easy to use. It is easy to go down small hills, but the shoe must then be reasonably supportive of the ankle.

— Show original

Online store with super fast delivery!! January weather, a freezing hanki with a bit of powder on top. OAC skis are particularly slippery. The material of the sole and the edge of the edge are not on the same level, so the ski does not have to be held sideways. I miss walking in the forest. The base of the hair does hold back well. I really had to go to the store to make sure I didn't have the wrong product. There were similar ones there too. Quite a difference to the Altai skis, which do not slip to the side.

Snowshoes that look like skis are snowshoes equipped with a sliding feature. These are nice to move around in the snow by skiing. On a hard surface, these slide equally well in every direction. In deep snow, these are good for day trips from one shelter to another. At the end of the trip, when you are tired, you can go down the hills. With basic snowshoes, it is necessary to walk down the hills as well. A nice addition to winter exercise. If you want snowshoe-like sliding snowshoes, you should take the shortest model. These are not skis. It's worth remembering. I recommend it for winter skiing trips. No monos needed.

After the first use, much more fun to use than normal snowshoes. The fur sole held up surprisingly well on the uphill, but the lateral grip in these is not so good. It's a suitable size to go even in a small pocket, longer versions might be more awkward to use.

These aren't skis, but you don't need a lot of speed when hunting with a vertical ear. Even in deep snow, the tip rises to the surface by itself. The edges are not very sharp, so you don't need to be particularly careful when walking with your dog.

The ties were easy to install. The back part of the tie could be a little higher, so that the shoe stays on better. The bandage must be tight to keep the shoe in place.

Works like sliding snowshoes should! On steep hills, these are not the first choice. Many people consider edged acanthus, I personally haven't really felt that I get an advantage from them compared to rimless models, but I still ended up with these. On the last trip, maybe I didn't sink as easily as a guy with a shorter model than these.

Yes, snowslides are just fun games in the forest. Yes, I definitely recommend it.

After long hunting skis, absolutely great equipment. Especially here in the south, where the forests are often dense. Good carrying properties and very agile to travel. There was a lot to learn in the beginning with the side grip, but you quickly got the hang of it. Going to winter time took a huge leap with these. The quality of the product seems to be excellent and the fur sole that got wet in a swamp ditch kept its grip surprisingly well until the end of the trip.

Functional sliding snowshoe. The new model has a steeper and slightly wider tip and a couple of centimeters more length. They are well suited for a 179cm/73kg lifter. The ties don't seem very durable. The screws should be tightened carefully so as not to jam. It's worth remembering that, despite the steel covers, snowshoes work poorly on the ski slope and skiing is a lift. At its best when moving in a closed forest. Varuste.net's order, delivery and payment process is quite efficient and fast.

Based on little experience, high-quality equipment.

Really decent-looking skis, but unfortunately the snow started before I could test it. Product support works (congested?) slowly.

— Show original

The ties are easy to use and quickly adjustable. About 20 cm in the sleet, progress is quite pleasant. On an uneven, hard-bottomed route, the slide shoe was more difficult to control. On closed descents, the tip of the ski easily dived into the soft snow. I believe that as experience accumulates, the control of sliding snowshoes will also improve. I've used hunting and snowshoes before, so these are somewhere in between. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Surprisingly durable and versatile for users of many sizes. I weigh almost a hundred kilos myself and my spouse is almost half lighter, they both work. The bandages are easy to use. For my taste, the skins brake maybe too much on the downhill, but there is enough grip on the uphill

Almost 8 years of good experience with domestic OAC Kar147 skis. These two centimeters longer seem to be of the same good quality. I especially appreciate the high-quality Finnish work on the skis. In my opinion, Chinese skis with scale bottoms from bargain stores are an unsustainable development and spoil the reputation of genuine fur-soled skis.

The material quality of the bandages is very hard plastic.

They were exactly as the description suggests. The package arrived quickly and the bandages were easy to attach. You can sink in soft snow, but going is easier with snowshoes. A pile of snow and a little snow on top of it, we're sure to be in perfect conditions! I was not bothered by the sound coming from the bindings when moving. The hair base should.

For twenty years, hunting skis and snowshoes have been used for adventures in a wide variety of terrains. With the now purchased snowshoes, it has been nice to ride for a month, you can turn easily even in the snow, and snowshoes don't sink as deep as snowshoes.

Games that work. The ties creak loudly.

— Show original

Overall a great product. Well designed from start to finish and works brilliantly for its purpose. If the terrain is uphill, these are the best possible for that use. In flat swampy terrain, traditional hunting skis are the fastest, but these are suitable for such a wide variety of terrain. The only small minus comes from the sensitive scratching of the soles, but it does not affect the practical operation in any way.

High-quality domestic skis. Ties new series, but I needed some good tips on what would be the best shoes for this use.

— Show original

All-around high-quality snowshoes that are at their best in the forest. With snowshoes, you can easily get to really challenging places, where normal skis have no business. It's worth investing in creams so that you can speed up your progress if necessary. Moving on snowshoes in open terrain is much slower than on skis. I recommend it for day hiking and max 10km one-time shoes. The bindings are good, but I was left wondering if, in terms of the slippage of the landings, it would be beneficial to have a quick shift in the front-back direction. Snowshoes are annoying to handle when transporting and storing. The straps that came with it are unnecessary and for packaging you would need decent fasteners to which you could also attach the poles.

They work well e.g. on a hare hunt while going around the fields. It should be used in summer weather Anti-icing agent in the skin.

A very good purchase! I think putting on the bandages wasn't difficult, even though the instructions weren't the best. In use, these are great, the other person was very clumsy with his snowshoes. In a dense forest, these are miserable, and if there is ice under the snow, Kant's deficiency hinders clearing the hills.

The snowshoes have worked well in the weather. The most surprisingly good grip when climbing even on icy slopes! With the help of these, I got a lot more freedom of movement in the winter. I am very satisfied <3

— Show original

Absolutely great boots for winter camping. It's also fine with a pack on the back and the grip of the climbing hair is good enough for uphills. I think it glides quite well even downhill. The ties have a really good feel and are of high quality. I haven't waxed the soles yet, when I haven't had to. There is no frost or protective snow stuck to the bottom of the ski yet. Really agile and work in the hilly and rocky terrains of the Pirkanmaa area. Of course, if you want skiing features, the longer model is definitely better.

The length is suitable for forest use. Sufficiently supports approx. 180cm and approx. 95kg user. In terms of directional stability, it loses to hunting, but in other usability it is superior.

— Show original

Good means of transport in the closed forest, between snowshoes and long skis. In general, you don't get tangled in rips, like on long cross-country skis. The grip of the hair is good, but the glide is by no means fast. I'm 185 cm tall, but I manage just fine with my wife's OAC 129 long skis. Bindings require a sturdy shoe.

Good and functional skis, the bindings are quick to adjust according to the shoe and hold well

The carrying capacity is not the best possible for a person weighing around 120 kg, but it does make it easier to move in the forest in the heart of winter. The ties were really easy to install and easy to use.

Good skis based on two uses. If the squealing of the ties could be removed, it would be 5 stars.

The sliding shoe works well, at the beginning the use is delicately ski-like, in which case the grip sole does not necessarily hold. When you correct this mistake and use the product on climbs like you would use snowshoes, the grip is 100%, especially on hard surfaces. At first, it may also feel strange in descents, because the slide is not like a ski, but it is a sliding shoe. When fresh, the product felt good and I think that getting used to it will only improve the user experience. The bandage was easy to assemble and worked well in use. When choosing the length of the product, I would personally follow the user's weight classification. Up until now I have gone either hunting or snowshoeing, these require a slightly different technique in order to be able to move very smoothly in the terrain, in my opinion. Good product.

I had been dreaming about the acquisitions for a long time and now I got them for myself as a Christmas present. Maybe I'll put Rottefella BC bindings on the next skis. This is how I could use Alpina skis in skiing. It works well with EA ties too.

— Show original

The skis are excellent, the bindings make noise when skiing and the binding levers are too small.

— Show original

High-quality equipment. I wonder if I somehow installed the straps incorrectly? Now, when there is less than 30cm of snow in the forests of southern Finland, there is still so much hay standing up through the window at Christmas time that I collect the baskets and chop the twigs on the back step. Skis are not very load-bearing in such soft snow, it's good to still go around rocks and stumps in the forest. Maybe there should have been a slightly longer version.

— Show original

It works well for the purpose for which it was purchased, i.e. for moving forward in a dead end. The grip is excellent, has not slipped. No problems with hair in freezing weather, it comes clean by wiping with a glove. There are already a couple of scratches on the bottom, I don't know if easy scratching will be a problem in the future. With a tamped base, it is better to keep the direction laterally than without a rim, but miracles are not achieved with a metal rim either. In icy places, I prefer to take these off and walk. A layer of soft snow is required for pleasant progress. Still nimble enough in length even for ryteks. Clearly higher quality finish and materials than cheaper competitors.

We bought two skis, the other of which was tested on a spring run in Lapland. The skis were comfortable to wear on soft snow, but on hard snow didn’t work so well. Even with rising hair, he got up in the fell as he dared to trust the grip. The skis looked good overall. We believe they will certainly perform better on fresh snow. The bandages were easy to install and good to use: they stuck to the shoes. However, discovering the technology required learning. According to Jänöjuss' descent, "He flew to the cinema with his skis."

Really good on foot, easy to move on. Holds reliably uphill and has enough glide, but not too much for such a slightly stiffer forest ranger. The final installation of the bandages would be easy, but I would have liked clear images of the left and right skis in the stacking instructions, so that putting the bandages in the right direction would have been smoother. Great product, I can recommend 👍

— Show original

High-quality skis. The toe of the bandage is rather narrow and does not fit all shoes. On hard surfaces, the skis will come to a standstill and the applications, for example, will be of little use. There could also be more glide. On the other hand, these are not actual skis, nor snowshoes, but in between. Despite the above disadvantages, the games are suitable for adventures in the middle of nature.

Order, deadline, delivery => perfect. Our first uses on hard snow, were scabrous, we think that a use in fresh and deep snow will delight us. On the straps of the bindings, the notches stop before you can properly tighten kicks that are not too "strong" and provide a passer-by to store the lanyard. Very satisfied with this discovery and the product. Good outings in Ski-Snowshoeing!

Based on a few runs, I am very happy with the skis. Well carrying 100+ pound men, especially if some kind of get below. The grip is excellent and as long as the weather doesn't rise much above zero, the bottom stays clean. In Plussakel, however, the snow in the deadlock seemed to clump into the holding area. On hard surfaces they slip sideways. The reason for choosing these instead of traditional forest skis was the transportability in a car, but the short length combined with the light weight has proved to be really convenient, for example, when crossing ditches and in denser forests. The bandages work great.

This product is already our family's second purchase. The previous ones (similar ones) have been in use for years and still work. Therefore, this was an easy buying decision. So they are durable and value for money skiers.

Very good and high quality product. My work with clients becomes spent almost daily. After all, it’s nice to be able to leave the backyard in the wilderness in the winter to enjoy the peace and quiet. As long as you remember to keep your hair clean and once in the winter, the skincare will come to the surface.

Completely satisfied with the purchase. Available weekly. Good load capacity, very good grip. Go up the walks and don't jump unnecessarily. On the bills, the pace is moderate or even non-existent (i.e. there really is grip in these), which suits me. Ties very deft to open.

Great games !!! 💫 There is nothing wrong with the smallness of your own foot. Even wider shoes had to be done ☺️😄😅 👍 So for me, the “adjustments” of ties at their smallest are not quite enough. However, there is no harm in going.

Works well, although getting in is still a bit challenging. Easy installation and commissioning

The OAC KAR snowshoe has worked really well. They do not get the side grip on hard surfaces, it is probably due to the soft-footed footwear. The load-bearing capacity is good and the grip on the coat is excellent. There should be more glide but probably the "driver's" live weight of more than 100kg will be affected.

These were the best shopping in a long time! Works great even in deeper snow. Even in uneven forest terrain, skis are just fine! On the plain heavy. Strong recommendation! Domesticity a big plus!

The trip folds well with these snow slides. The grip is excellent. I think the old bandage was more comfortable because of the padding.

It is a working invention. I have slid and enjoyed the freedom of the instrument. Two pairs of these slippers were purchased for our canteen. Several hours and kilometers have passed. In an open, open and dense forest, in a clearing open, in a swamp, the crossings of various ditches are sufficient for the facility to provide a setting for enjoyment. The nature of the invention provides unhurried enjoyment in a man-made environment created by the Creator. For user experience ... our own experience of how the tool works so far ... works on all snow and ice platforms, both uphill and downhill. However, it is best on small frosts and that the surface has a snow cover. The OAC KAR 147 UC sliding shoe with EA 2.0 binding works and I dare to recommend the product to anyone and those who have shown interest. Price seems to be a place for oneself to fall for the unworthy. Forget the money, get a slipper with a pair of ties to verify the accuracy described above.

Good experiences in going into a dead end and also in thin snow. Simple, easy ties to use.

High quality package. Immediately out of the box, notice the difference with the cheaper ones. Compared to snowshoeing, at least it makes more sense for itself - it offers a bit of “speed charm” in the downhill. Suitable for slow rushing, the shoe-bandage combination does not allow very wild cornering and edging - it may be due to your own abilities.

Behind several loops in hilly forest terrain. Snow about 30 - 40 cm. Fun games for day trips but the going is much heavier than with regular snowshoes. In steep places where snowshoeing would go smoothly, these gliding slippers will have to pick up a route and compete. I would prefer to take forest or mountain skis for the hike. In soft snow, the KAR 147 often plows under the snow and easily adheres to the shadows and branches. The tip is so gentle that it does not rise to the surface of the snow and the short ski does not bend enough. Grip is good both uphill and downhill. In the 90+ kg calculations, the man can get down, it is useless to imagine that you would go down with these. On the third run, the tip of the ski crashed into the rock and a piece came off the tip. The tricks of this Price Class should have a cover or reinforcement at the forefront once it is intended to be used as a snowshoe in the woods as well. Now it broke down unnecessarily easily. The bindings are good and easy to use and are suitable for a wide range of shoes.

Noni's first experiences are in the varied terrain 5.8km… Did it meet expectations, maybe 4/5 * Conditions: Lots of snow and powder on top of frost -10. ! With the adjustment of the bandages, it is worth taking the time and trying to make them really the right length. -In the open, you can immerse quite a lot more than with skis. -lots of snow / soft so the forest ski behaves better downhill + much lighter to walk than snowshoes + The butt is going really well + much better to lower a plowed / hard bottom hill than a hill ski In brief; the best solution for broken and seedling-rich terrain was a good purchase.

OAC Karit was a dream for many years. This winter the dream came true and it was worth all the expectation! I don’t know a more fun way to move around in the winter woods. I give five stars to OAC Kare himself. The use of bandages seems to require getting used to. The EA 2.0s are great bindings guaranteed, but the narrow bandage under the wide shoe feels overwhelming at times. I don’t know if there are wider ties of the same type, but I find myself considering them.

His skis could be a guide to guide him straight in the mouth. Good supportive bandages make it easier to cross ditches, for example. A slightly higher tip would lift the ski to the surface.

These slip-on shoes and ties are a functional and convenient "package" with forest poles. The footwear should be, for example, sturdy winter sneakers or similar. The bandages do not have softening parts, but they do not press on the feet and are easy to use. The sliding shoe works best in the snow. In a special condition with a frozen snow surface layer and snow beneath, the toe of the slipper was below the surface layer. Otherwise it will rise well to the surface of the snow. These can also be used to descend a hill and preferably just in the snow or at least so that there is a few centimeters of snow. OACt is easy to take in a car. Natural man.

After a short experiment, the set looks very functional. Good load even in soft snow, handy to rotate in dense forest, bindings worked well on Sorel's winter boots, very good grip. There should be even a little more glide, these are hard to slip on. On hard surfaces such as a sledge, the time is rather weak.

Based on a few trips, much more convenient than regular snowshoes.
