Dynastar Glory 79 review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The ProSkiLab™ reviewers were divided over the Glory 59. Some of them loved it for its user-friendliness and its overall enjoyableness and satisfaction. Others were bothered by the rocker and the wide and flexible tip, and noted the lack of stability. We suggest you try it before buying.
Review: Pros
- Overall user-friendliness thanks to the rocker
- Feels like a shorter ski
- A ski that glides and ‘turns on its own’
- A wider ski for more enjoyable rides in all snow conditions
Review: Cons
- Some reviewers noted a lack of stability and precision due to the flexible tip and a rocker that was a bit too noticeable
