RokIzGud Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Does anyone have any information on Cassin's X Ice tools or know of any online reviews or threads? Anything would be helpful, I just can't find any info on them... Thanks! Quote
BigSky Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I climbed on the X-ice's one night just to try them out. They are not far removed from the Camp Awax, which I like. Call Prolite Gear in Bozeman at 1-406-582-0508 and ask for Brad, he climbed on them all last season and could give you a more comprehensive review. Quote
RokIzGud Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks a lot! I will definitely give him a call. Quote
mtnkid85 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Rok, did you ever get a chance to swing these or find anything more on them? I too am interested in them. Ive got the Awaxes- which I love, and it looks like all the little complaints I have about them have been fixed with these new Xices. Edited December 22, 2010 by mtnkid85 Quote
RokIzGud Posted December 26, 2010 Author Posted December 26, 2010 No I haven't. I have a brand new pair of them and im not sure if ill get to use them, if your interested in buying them let me know... Quote
mtnkid85 Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Rok, I sent you a PM. Just seeing if you got it. Â Thanks, Quote
Jon H Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I was out on some ice last week with EastCoastBastard and we ran into one of the local Camp-sponsored athletes. He had a pair of X-ices with him. Â I took a couple swings and they felt nice, very balanced, similar to the old Quark. I remarked that I didn't like how small the pommel/hand support was at the bottom of the shaft and he informed me that it was a common complaint and that a new modular grip (in addition to the 3 that are on the market now) will be coming out next year with a full pommel, much like on the current Cobra or Viper. He also had a prototype pick on the axe called the "All-Mountain" which he raved about (and said he didn't like the current pick offerings very much) and thought it should be in the US by next year as well. Â Hope this helps. Quote
mtnkid85 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks Jon. Looks like I should hold out one more year... I guess. I do like the idea of a larger pommel. Quote
EastCoastBastard Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Actually, Jon, I'm pretty sure those were the X-dry's that Ian was climbing on. Quote
