Zag H-95 review 2018

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

Tested a bit short this year (179 cm), the H-95 lost a few points but is still one of the best skis on the market in the AM front category. Its overall behavior is excellent. Off-piste, its agility, performance in crud and floatation in powder are remarkable. It’s an easy and enjoyable ski that steers with ease and requires little engagement. An "everyday ski" as one of the reviewers pointed out. On the groomed trails, its behavior is generally good. However, the reviewers felt that its performance was not quite up to last year's, probably explained by the difference in size. Intermediary to very good riders looking for easy freeriding will love this model. Heavier riders should definitely choose a larger size.

Review: Pros

  • An easy, user-friendly ski
  • Good grip
  • Great agility and rotation
  • Floatation in the powder
  • Excellent behaviour off-piste
  • Cuts through the crud

Review: Cons

  • Needs to be well positioned on the slopes as the tail is a bit stiff

Manufacturer's remarks

The ski was adopted by the Mont-Blanc Valley ski patrol looking for a working tool that’s comfortable, safe and efficient throughout the winter. Enjoy the luxury of not having to choose: link highly physical turns down steep slopes, float through powder in the forest or carve up the groomed trails... The H-95 can do it all!
