K2 Wayback 84

The Wayback 84 is a men's touring ski from the K2 brand.

The Wayback range offers excellent downhill performance, a grip worthy of the name and impressive stability in all snow conditions. This range also features Snowphobic hydrophobic top sheets, which prevent snow from sticking to the top of your skis, making your skis heavier. Ingenious! The Skin Grommets skin attachment system is very easy to use and ultra-reliable.

And this is thanks to Titanal Touring Technology, a construction combining a Paulownia Tour Lite wood core hand-selected for its lightness and lively behavior, with two layers of reinforcements composed of carbon and fiberglass. To top it all off, a Titanal plate mainly located at the center of the ski offers exceptional stability without weighing down the ski.
