Dynastar OMEGLASS WC Sltn R20 WC review 2014
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Effective and above all remarkable accessible and forgiving for a ski in this category, the Omeglass WC is an excellent choice for skiers of any level. A highly recommended product for very good to expert-level skiers who are looking for a Slalom ski but not necessarily a thoroughbred racer that wreaks havoc on their thighs on their first downhill run.
Review: Pros
- The Omeglass WC is an excellent Slalom ski. It's incredibly incisive and delivers remarkable performance, but its most outstanding feature is its ease of use. The progressive flex feature makes the ski particularly forgiving and accessible to a broad range of skiers who possess neither the physical capabilities nor the technical skills of competition skiers. It is also amazingly versatile, adapting easily to both easy-going and more aggressive handling styles.
Review: Cons
- On the other hand, the Omeglass WC's positive qualities are the source of its shortcomings. While more accessible, it is less suited to racing conditions than other skis in the same category. Our testers also found that it had a bit less rebound coming out of turns (which is not necessarily a drawback).
