Dynastar Omeglass S review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
We were surprised that Dynastar sent us an "Omeglass" for this category, as the line is usually reserved for slalom skis. Consequently we were relatively sceptical about its qualities, especially as we couldn’t try it before the test. Well, we were wrong and the Omeglass S proved to be an excellent ski!
This remarkably progressive ski quite simply adapts to the rider’s pace... Incredible! It’s an unquestionable success for Dynastar that have designed a ski which will delight OK to good skiers, especially those who enjoy skid turns and are looking for a lively, playful ski that can take them further towards carved turns and carving.
Review: Pros
- Great overall accessibility
- Instant and intuitive turn initiation
- A lively and playful ski
- Excellent grip for this category
- Comfortable
Review: Cons
- As its name suggests, this is a slalom type ski which is less comfortable in long turns

Manufacturer's remarks
Power adapted to the rider. As part of the Race Performance line, this ski is clearly designed for performance and pleasure on the groomers. With its new structure underpinned by the racing department’s know-how, the OMEGLASS S FLUID X is the most versatile ski.
With its intermediary radius of 14 m, its modern sidecuts and its flex adapted to most non racing riders, you will tame every type of turn on a ski that boasts Dynastar’s racing DNA.
