Ski Line Honey Badger + bindings

► Wear and tear of our skis and snowboards

In order for you to find the best skiing companion according to your level and your desires, we have categorized the skis as follows according to the condition of the equipment:

• Quality A
• Quality B
• Grade C

In order to offer you a quality skiing experience, we have decided to be transparent with you by setting up these three categories, which allow you to be fully aware of the state of wear and tear of the equipment, so that there are no unpleasant surprises when you receive it.
For the classification of our equipment, we base ourselves on various criteria:

• The state of wear of the screen printing
• The state of wear of the sole and edges
• The state of wear of the fastener
• Year of manufacture

■ Quality A: Used equipment in good condition

Qualité A offers second-hand equipment in good general condition, well maintained and can be used for many seasons:

• The technical qualities and durability of the material are excellent
• Screen printing may also have some scratches and snags
• Second-hand bindings in good condition (checked by our skimens) but may have some scratches from use and somewhat discolored
• The sole is perfectly filled, structured and waxed. The edges are sharpened.

■ Quality B: Used equipment in good condition

The Quality B category has second-hand equipment in good condition, but with more pronounced wear marks (presence of scratches and snags):

• The technicality and durability of the material remain good despite an older aesthetic
• Presence of more pronounced scratches and snags on several areas of the screen print, especially at the tip and tail
• The binding can be scratched or discolored (always serviced by our skimen)
• The sole is perfectly filled, structured and waxed and the edges are sharpened, as for the material of Quality A
• Attractive price

■ Quality C: Equipment whose screen printing is degraded but still performs well

The Quality C category offers damaged equipment, whose screen printing is degraded but which remains skiable and efficient:

• The material having already been used for several seasons, the screen printing is damaged and shows more significant traces of wear such as scratches and snags, but this has no influence on its performance
• The binding (always serviced by our skimen) shows more signs of wear: discoloration, scratches, snags... It does not pose any danger to the user.
• The sole is perfectly filled, structured and waxed. The edges are also sharpened, just like the previous picks. Be careful: the equipment has already been used well, there is not much thickness left of the sole or edge that will allow for new maintenance.
