jsut to be clear, Kaslte's are made in leased space in a head factory- nothing about Kastle is from Head; not even the presses. ? Head also had some real QC issues on a couple of thier skis, most noteably the Im82 which had some real delam issues. Gary's SS's also bascially decambered after less than 100 days on them. ?His 82's delamed as well.
Volkl has had mount point marking issues on several skis
Certain K2's were just crap.
and so on,,,,,
So, all that said, Phil isn't as much of an indie fan as I am. I like to support the small biz owner who has a real passion for the sport. I like where many are going and creating new products. they are more customer service focused by far and some are willing to modify their skis like On3p and Ski Logik to mention only a couple who will. ?Some of the indies do have QC problems for sure but for the most part, it's not that wide-spread and you would hear about it on TGR if this was epidemic. BTW- I consider Kaslte to really be an indie. They are not owned by a parent ski compnay (just a motorocycle compnsy) and don't produces thousands of pair so f skis. They really area very small company that has done extreemely well. ?
