Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski

November 8, 2010

Write your question here...I read all the other Q/A's but I'm still a bit uncertain. I'm 5'8" and weigh only 140lbs. I am an avid, advanced telemarker and this'll be my 13th season at 50+ days/season. I have been on Atomic tele skis for the last 6 yrs and always love the way they ski, but I feel like I'm ready to change over to this S7 Pro Mancini Ski. I just don;t know what size to go with. I always like shorter skis that I can muscle around and just do with them whatever I please, and I've had no issues with shorter lengths and slimmer waistlines in deep powder. My current Atomics are 173cms. Do I go all the way up to 188cm in these or will I be better off with the 178cm length? Help?

Everyone else is correct in saying the length of the coat is too short. That wasn't my biggest problem with this coat, which I had to return for a refund. The worst part of the coat, in my mind, was the ill-advised decision to place the sticky/catchy side of the hook-and-loop on the same size of the front zipper as the nylon band that's meant to keep the zipper from catching on the jacket on its way up. Before I ever so much as put the coat on, the hook-and-loop was attaching itself to the nylon band, preventing the ability to zipper without first pulling the hook-and-loop apart from the nylon band. To make matters worse, the nylon band was pulling and becoming damaged worse each time the hook-and-loop was pulled off it. Due to this, the brand new coat was damaged before I ever put it on and was getting worse all the time. Had the hook-and-loop been attached to the coat in the opposite way, this would be solved but Mountain Hardware was more interested in telling me this is not a construction flaw and they have been making the coat this way for several years; there was nothing they could or would do to address the problem. Luckily, this site was much cooler about it than was Mt Hardware, and I was able to simply return the coat for a full refund. It's too bad, because I actually liked the coat but was unwilling to deal with the zippering/hook-and-loop issue each and every time I want to put the coat on, nor was I willing to accept a coat that continuously and increasingly damaged itself.
