Will it hurt if I fall while wearing the ski~mojo?
Falling while wearing the ski~mojo is usually no different than if you fell without one.. However, under certain circumstances: e.g. if you fall on the end of the upper telescopic rod, it may cause bruising (in the same way as if you fell on your keys if you had them in your pocket. There is a layer of Neoprene between your leg and the rod, which can usually be folded over and “doubled-up”; you may wish to add additional padding to fit between these rods and your legs to further help reduce the risk of bruising.
What guarantee do you get with the ski~mojo?
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions web page.
What is the weight of a ski~mojo?
The total weight of the whole kit is 2Kg.
What needs to be considered is the fact that when you are skiing the ski~mojo is supporting some of your weight rather than you carrying its weight.
How long does it take to fit the ski~mojo?
The initial fitting takes about 30 minutes to do the intial setting/adjustments as per the User Guide. Only one tool is required and that is a small Allen key that is supplied with the kit.
After that it will take very little time to put on and take off each day you ski. Simply put it on in your room before you put on your ski trousers (see fitting instructions for how to do this) then pull your ski trousers over the top and head down to the boot room to put on your ski boots. Once your ski boots are on then it’s a simple case of connecting the ski~mojos to the attachments on your ski boots.
Do I need any tools to fit the ski~mojo?
The only tool that is required is a small Allen Key that you receive with the kit. adjust to the spring tension to suit your weight.
Will it fit under my ski trousers?
The ski~mojo should fit comfortably under most ski trousers other than the tight-fitting “racing style” ski pants (or trousers that are tight around the hips or knees.
What do I need to put on my ski boots?
There is a clamp for each boot that sits on the back of the shell of the boot.
Once you are happy with the positioning, ideally you should fit the boot fittings permanently:- Drill a hole through the boot where the attachment was clamped and then screw it on to the boot using the Allen Key and a spanner (or pliers) to permanently fix the attachment. This permanent fitting is recommended, but optional; the clamp should work just as well, but is a little bulkier and could get knocked off.
We strongly recommend that you do not fit the attachments permanently until you have tested the set-up with the attachment clamped in position to start with, this way you are able to fine tune the position of the attachments, if required before committing to the permanent position.
Can I use the ski~mojo on hire boots?
Yes, the boot fitting that is supplied with the kit can be either permanent or temporary. It can therefore be clamped to the hire boot and then removed at the end of the hire period without causing any damage to the ski boot.
What do I do if I change my ski boots?
This is not a problem; simply remove the attachments from your old boots and re-fit on to your new boots.
Does the ski~mojo come in different sizes?
No the ski~mojo is one-size-fits-all. It has telescopic adjustments to fit your leg size. The Posture-Strap and Knee-Supports have Velcro adjustment so you easily adjust it to the correct setting for you.
The only choice that you need to make is which spring strength to select. There are two standard strength springs. The strength you select relates to your weight.
Gold springs are suitable for skiers weighing 75Kg to 120Kg
Silver springs are suitable for skiers weighing 55Kg to 85 Kg.
Blue springs are available by special order only and are suitable for skiers weighing under 55Kg.
WEARING THE SKI~MOJO
How do I go to the loo?
Undo the buckles on the elastic groin straps and disconnect the poppers on the top of the telescopic rods by pulling on the webbing tags: Then lift the Webbing Loops off the telescopic rods which will enable you to Lower the Posture-Strap.
Reverse the procedure to re-attach when ready.
Can I use it with my knee brace?
The ski~mojo fits over most knee braces depending on how bulky they are.
How do I get on the ski lift and sit down for lunch?
The ski~mojo can be switched on and off with the flick of a switch (actually two switches – one on each leg); you should always switch both switches on or off. i.e. don’t walk around or ski with one leg switched on and one switched off.
Whenever you take your skis off you should turn off the ski~mojo so you can then move around freely. With the ski~mojo switched off you can sit down, drive a car (take your ski boots off too!) and get on the ski lifts, in fact do almost everything as though the ski~mojo was not there.
The only time you really need to switch the ski~mojo off while you have you skis on, is before you ride a chair lift. Switch off while queuing for the chairlift, get on the chairlift as normal. If you forget to switch off before you get on a chair lift you may find riding the lift uncomfortable as your legs will be being pushed straight, simply switch off then, if you can, fully straighten your legs and the mojos will disengage.
Can I walk normally while wearing it?
As with the answer to “How do I get on the ski lift and sit down for lunch” – yes. All you need to do is turn off the ski~mojo and fully straighten your legs to disengage, then you can walk as normal. It is like you have not got it on.
Can I drive in it?
Yes, just turn off the ski~mojo and drive as normal. Just ensure that the ski~mojo neoprene Knee-Support straps are reasonably tight so there is no risk of it slipping down while driving (and make sure that you’re not wearing your ski boots).
How do I switch it on and off?
There is a switch halfway down the side of each leg. To turn the ski~mojo on/off just flick the switches on each leg and then once you straighten your leg(s) the ski~mojo will switch on or off, depending on what you selected.
Can I wear it outside my skiwear?
It is NOT recommended; but yes you can. However:-
There is more chance of the switches getting knocked accidentally.
The posture strap could potentially catch on chairlifts etc.
You cannot pull your ski trousers down over your ski boots (due to the attachment).
If snow gets into the mechanism it can get compacted/frozen and potentially jam the mechanism.
