With its famous one-piece fluorescent yellow, the Orb freebird is a reference in ski touring. Now designed with a thin, progressive rocker board that gives it a solid base and a very secure grip, it's the perfect companion for the vertical odyssey. Built for the mountain with a 90mm waist, lightweight and with very good skiability, it will accompany you in all your adventures, including the most radical ones like the steep slope.
Sportmania's opinion:
The Orb Freebird with rocker has become a reference in ski touring. Extremely grippy and secure, it provides excellent guarantees in steep slopes and on icy sections.
The Orb Freebird keeps a playful side that allows it to bounce on the support and thus vary the techniques. The Orb Freebird is slightly thinner and lighter than the Camox, and therefore keeps the ascent as an important criterion in the choice of the skier and for differences in altitude between 300 and 1'000 meters. Therefore, a low tech binding weighing less than 500g is recommended with the Orb Freebird in order to get the most out of this versatile ski.
