Advantages: Go anywhere do almost anything - on snow, of course!

...There I was wandering round the Ski Show at the NEC looking for my dream ski - Salomon's X-Scream Series - at a decent price. I found it several times over, but as usual, overpriced for what they were. Salomon's never seem to be bargains, in my experience. Then the boss of my favourite holiday company suggested looking at Rossignol's Bandit B2. According to him, the French ski shops loved them. Intrigued, I wandered around again looking for them. No luck. They didn't seem to be there. Disappointed, I went home and decided to look on the net for this mysterious ski. I didn't find much there, either. I began to wonder if they really existed. A week or two later, I bought a skiing magazine that had a review of all the upcoming 2004 skis.

Advantages: Durability, speed and control - Superb!!
Disadvantages: There's no snow!

...Rossignol have kept these bad boys pretty much the same for the past 2 seasons simply because there is nothing they could do to make them better! These skis are guaranteed fun, on or off-piest. I'm going to keep them for at least 10 years. Not quite as fast as my old school Rossignol 198's but then again Bandits are like paddles in comparison. The wide structure does help them cruise nicely over powder and still leaves you with a great degree of control on piested runs as well! Perfect ski for those of an intermediate or advanced level. Very hard to fault them but I would say they need tip guards as these do tend to get a little cut up. Not really a fault, just a good idea if you want to keep them looking as slick as they did when you bought them.... Read review

...that this situation will change in the near future. The rug is made of blue mesh fabric with sheepskin padding around the neck. It has blue trimming and straps. The mesh fabric makes the rug ‘breathable’ and lightweight enough to be worn under other blankets. It has cross-straps under the belly with both “touch and close” fastenings and a clasp around the chest to make it a secure fit. The rug comes in four sizes: 160cm (5’3”), 175cm (5’9”), 191cm (6’3”) and 198cm (6’6”). The recommended retail price is £390 for all sizes. Anyone who recognises the benefits of magnotherapy will realise that this is a very competitive price for such an article. Ecoflow also have a 90 day performance guarantee and a twelve month guarantee against faulty parts and workmanship. There is also a Customer Loyalty Scheme whereby the customer returns the old item... Read review
