Topsheet chipping

Post by Danielbroski »

So after riding my first pair of skis the topsheet began peeling and chipping along the edges of my skis. This happened on my volkls too so I'm not too worried, but it seems to be worse than what was happening on my volkls. Any ideas on how to prevent this on my next pair?

What material are you using?

Nylon seems the best top for no chipping. PBT chips like a mo fo.
winter is coming..

Ya, it's PBT. Would the isocap 8210 from snowboard materials be a better option?

Miller Studios has a great selection of stuff too. The nylon is great (might be the same as 8120, I can't remember).
