The Combat NATO is a very light and robust ski with steel edges and a 22mm sidecut.
Developed for the army and military use, the ski is designed both for steep and demanding terrain and for travelling at speed in varied conditions – something achieved through a combination of a moderate wax pocket, a sidecut of 22mm, and a balanced width, affording control and excellent floating properties on deeper snow
A ski for the trek and the swift descent.
Designed to withstand anything the mountain can offer, the binding area is reinforced with the alloy Titanal while the sole is milled for low friction at the attachment point of the NATO X-Skin – a 45mm climbing skin specially adapted for these skis.
There is also an opening at the back of the ski for the attachment of a short skin in extreme temperatures.
Combat is constructed to face any challenge the mountain has to offer.
Selecting length
Choosing the right length
Ski length is determined according to body weight and height. The table below is only a guide, however – experience, skill, terrain and individual needs can all influence your choice of length.
Generally speaking, moving through rugged terrain calls for shorter skis than the open mountain plateau. And for beginners, short skis are easier to control. If you’re mainly skiing along tracks, length isn’t the most crucial factor. For good float on deep snow, a slighter wider ski is useful. Lighter skiers might consider a shorter ski; heavier skiers a longer ski. Skiers with loads such as backpacks and sledges might consider a longer ski.
