Merrell Women's Pulse Low X-Terrain

Advantages: Great Snap, Responsive and the lightest board on the market for women!
Disadvantages: non that l have found yet!

...this board is fast and responsive. I always thought is was all about the rider not the board but this taught me otherwise! Handles excellently and great over choppy terrain ideal for both park and piste. The edges are stain less steel which means that this is a very low maintenance board. The base is an infinate ride which means it is very durable. Due to the base being pre impregnated with wax there is a base ofr the first wax you do to build on. colour scheme is excellent but not too girly. Have rode this board for a week on varied terrain and found no problems with it. it cut into ice a treat and there wasn't that much chatter to be felt through the base. FIVE STARS!... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, quick to break in
Disadvantages: not waterproof, not breathable

...I work in a outdoor shop but I'm not a very outdoorsy person, I'm really fussy when it comes to footwear, and wouldn't really wear walking shoes or boots unless I really have to, Climbing a mountain for example. That was untill the Salomon expert lows came in delivery one day, walking shoes are normally bulky looking and not at all attractive but these are really nice, my ones are light grey,dark grey and black, they have mesh panels and suede panels with a rubber rand around the toe. The mesh panels are for breathabilitly, but they don't have a breathable or wickable lining, so my feet do get quite hot but a pair of wicking socks like coolmax normally sort that out, the downside of the mesh is that if it rains the water gets in easy as they don't have a waterproof lining, spraying them will make them resistant to water but stepping...
