Description

First up the mountain, first back to the lodge.

Skins should be easy to switch so you can get out and play. At least, that's the philosophy of the G3 Women's Alpinist elle Climbing Skins. The Elle’s RipStrip reduces skin to skin adhesion, removal from skis is quick and painless (as it should be).
  • Innovative tip connector features pivoting steel hands mounted on a low-profile crossbar so skins don't get ditched on the ascent
  • Direct tail strap lamination helps create a low-profile bond for optimized glide\
  • G3’s glue formula works exceptionally in all snow conditions

A decent skin for anyone that is looking to get into alpine touring! The tip clips are a must for those fat powder skis!

I bought these as a replacement for a pair of Alpinist skins that were too short. There were no Alpinist in the size I needed so decided to try these as the seemed to be exactly the same. They are the same, the tip and tail attachments work well and are easy to use. The skins glide and grip well and they are light and fold up small. I did have a bit of a problem with snow working its way under the skin and the glue doesn't seem very sticky. Also, the include trim tool works well, but appears to cause a bit of damage to the glue on the edges - be careful when cutting - I think this may be why I am getting snow in there.

It would be a stretch. You may have to shop elsewhere for the proper size. Or, you could wait until Backcountry gets more stock.

Will these skins fit the women's rossignol S7 (168cm)?

Yes & No. The recommended width/length would be a 130mm short. G3 makes this, but it looks like Backcountry is out. The G3 Alpinist skin (http://www.backcountry.com/g3-alpinist-climbing-skin) is the exact same skin (graphic change only) and they have some in that size.
Enjoy!

What is the width of these? Is the length adjustable so I can use them on all my back country skis?

They come in multiple widths and lengths to fit your skis. If you have skis that are very different in length and width, you'll need more than one pair of skins.

If you want a skin with greater adjustability, the Expedition (http://www.backcountry.com/g3-expedition-climbing-skin) is completely adjustable at the tip in addition to the 10cm at the tail. Width is another issue.

What are the pros and cons of having wall-to-wall skins vs straight skins

Wall-to-wall: Better grip, but heavier.
Straight: Lighter, easier to fold, but less grip.

Be careful on going with the upper end of the spectrum with lenght. I bought a xshort for a 160cm Gotback, and it was a good 6" shy of the end of the ski, so go with the biggest size you can for best coverage.
