Couloir magazine: "The
original gold standard for climbing skins, Ascension skins come with
a glue formula that has a superb reputation for longevity and a wide
temperature range of usefulness..." |
Ideal for attending
to today’s
skis that have a wide range of tail shapes, the STS System features
a one-touch, easy-to-tension camming tailpiece with a tough, stretchy
elastomer strap that provides 10 cm of length adjustment for use
with multiple pairs of skis. Ascension skins feature durable, hydrophobic
construction and offer tremendous durability and climbing security.
Our reversible tip loop fits a wide range of skis. |

Skiing magazine: "The
combination of a glueless strip running down the center, a braided-wire
tip loop in a protective sleeve, and a large metal tail clip makes
the Ascensions easy to slip on and off. Gripes: The nylon
skin stretches. Props: Bomber construction, excellent glue
adhesion, great glide. " |
These fixed-length
skins have achieved legendary status. They’re ultra-durable, hydrophobic and feature
our celebrated Gold Label glue for a reliable bond. Ascension skins
are constructed with robust laminate that eases high-wind handling.
Features include our reversible tip loop and a stainless steel ClipFix
camming lever that’s easy to use and keeps the skins under
a tight and secure tension, lap after lap.

Skiing magazine: "The
GlideLite's got the same glueless strip and tip loop as the Ascension,
but this lighter-weight skin features an adjustable tail hook - a
metal flipper attached to a rubber tensioner. Gripes: After
extensive use, the tensioner breaks down. Props: Easily
adjusts to different ski lengths." |
Super-packable, lightweight and durable,
our GlideLite skins have the same legendary hydrophobic and durable
plush as our Ascension Series, but are designed with a thinner and
more supple laminate construction, making them easier to fold and
fit inside a jacket pocket. The STS attachment system holds skins
firmly in place with a glove-friendly elastomer strap and one-step
camming tailpiece for simplicity and security. |

Skiing magazine:Tester's
Choice "Tenacious glue, an adjustable tail
similar to the GlideLite's, and good grip and glide set this
elephant-colored skin apart. Gripes: Full-coverage glue
combined with a wide ski does not make for quick and easy skin
removal. Props: Best overall; lightweight, excellent
grip and glide." |
G3's Expedition skins
include our patented, fool-proof Tip & Tail Connection System.This
system has become the most popular skin connector system on the
market. It's unique design works with any shape ski and allows
for hassle-free installation and removal while your skis are still
on! ...we changed the name and added our new laminated tail, but
these are the same G3 skins that have become required equipment
for backcountry skiers..." |

Skiing magazine: These
Swiss-made skins glided like Zambonis, and there were the
lightest of the bunch. A rigid wire loop and a plastic cam attached
to the adjustable tail make the Extremes easy to put on and off. Gripes:The
clue quickly lost adhesion during spring ascents. Props:They
had the best glide in the test." |
100% Mohair – absorbs
less moisture, so there is no or little wrinkling. Has very good
gliding properties. Come standard with Camlock Fixing System.
