Invaders starting to delam

[bigwhite.steeze]

is anyone haveing this problem yet? ive used mine a couple of days and huge chunks of the topsheet are starting to come off. i already have 2 chunks that are down to the core. it looks like line didnt really fix the problem because im sure once water gets into my core from the topsheet chipping theyll start delaminating for sure...and apparently huge chunks out of the flimsy topsheet isn't covered in the warranty.anyone got some suggestions to stop the dreaded invader delam?

epoxy the chunks to prevent water from getting to the core... or if you're cheap like me use some super glue or something else that will seal the core from the elements.

invaders delaming?????? I havent heard of such a thing.

they won't delam if water gets into the core, but they will lose their camber, but the chunks coming out of the topsheet is from you banging your skis together and that will happen on any ski, what happened to the skis is your fault not lines, so get some epoxy and fill the missing portions of the top sheet with it to prevent water from getting in

i dont think it is entirely my fault here. i skied on them for 2 days, and just from the edges and no other things, i have peices of the topsheet flaking and peeling off all the way down to the core. i have a pair of public enemys that have been ridden hard for 2 years and they hardly have any damage to the topsheet, just some scratches but no chunks out of them. in my opinion i think line needs to get on top of things and make a topsheet thats a little thicker and durable, because at the moment there skis are getting a worse and worse rep and just going downhill on their quality

 

[pbandj]

nope you've been crossing your tips, dull down your edges

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

yeah they got that the first and second days i used em...the park wasnt open so there was no use dulling my edges yet...still i dont know any other ski with this cheap of a topsheet that will rip apart as easily as these do...

u talkin bout last years or this years?

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

[Jay31]

[bigwhite.steeze]

yeah watch out dont hit them against anything and always have them in a ski bag

 

[Jay31]

ya thanks for letting us know bout the delaming so we can watch out for that

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

haha np i just hope it doesent start happening to your guys ones and its just a faulty pair....

 

[icywhite]

yea i hope so too i just got mine and skied twice nothin like that has happened yet

 

[titsLOL]

pictures would be interesting, sounds like normal chipping though.

 

[awsomecoolguy]

yup and your public enemys are heavyer and more exspensive and less flexible it's a trade off

 

[nothanks]

This years invaders are starting to delam...oh god. Oh God.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

sorry i dont have a camera right now, its at my friends condo.they havented delamed yet but im expecting it real soon once the water gets into my core. i dont think its normal chipping...if it is then damn im never buying another pair of line skis
