So everyone’s ready to go except for you who’s still trying to pull their skins apart. Switch out your pain-in-the-ass skins for the G3 Women’s Alpinist Elle Climbing Skins. The Elle’s RipStrip reduces skin to skin adhesion, so it’s quick and easy to pull these babies apart and off of your skis.

  • Innovative tip connector features pivoting (self-aligning) steel hands mounted on a curved, low-profile polyurethane crossbar, so the skin doesn't get kicked off as you ascend
  • Tail strap laminated directly into skin fabric creates a strong, low-profile bond that improves glide performance and reduces weight
  • Fast gliding plush fabric is lightweight and supple for enhanced performance
  • G3’s glue formula works exceptionally in all snow conditions

Bottom Line: Be the first one ready, instead of the last.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

If for some reason one or both of the steel hands on the tip

If for some reason one or both of the steel hands on the tip connector break are there replacement parts readily available?

Is it just the Alpinist elle that comes with the Ripstrip? Looking at pics of the Alpinist i can see what may be a Ripstip, or it might just be part of the color scheme. Just curious. Cheers.

Sizing is wrong for narrow tips.

I thought I had the perfect wall-to-wall fit for my 88-60-78 skis, but the clip slides right back.
These will not work unless tip is significantly wider than the skin.
Because the hooks pivot out, you must add the radius of each hook to the skin width to calculate the minimum ski tip width with which the skin can be used.
