The mohair insert grips beautifully on climbs and still glides smoothly on the flats. It’s short, stable, and forgiving—perfect for confidence-building days or relaxed tours where you’re just soaking up the scenery.""Who It’s ForBeginner to Intermediate Classic Skiers:Designed for recreational skiers and fitness-minded beginners who want an easy, reliable, low-maintenance setup.
