Me too, I associate Plake with K2, even though I am well aware that he works with ELan now and has been since a number of years, but...well Plake and K2 is an iconic image, engraved in my mind. I was going to put also Dalbello boots, and inded I did so, but as only one choice is allowed...had to give its due to K2. I also know that he now works with Roxa. of course.
