Im usually touring in ON3P BGs (twin tip) with G3 skins. I spent half a season constantly asking the person behind me to help re-attach the tail clip. Ive had to lash my skins on during an approach after they filled with snow b/c i finally let the skins drag unattached. (some people tour w/o tail clips after all, my experience is that doesn't work on rockered twin tips) The twin tip connector works perfectly. They easily slip onto the tails and provide a solid fit for the skins. I will say getting the old clips off and the twin tip connector on the skin tab was pretty awful.
A must for twin tips

My wife has these on her skins for Nordica La Nina's, which have a completely rounded off tail. These are perfect for the tail attachement and haven't popped off once mid-skin. Having two hooks keeps these anchored onto the tails even with a little side to side sliding. I was a little concerned that they would be harder to put on than the traditional tail hook attachment, but we haven't had any issues with the on/ off.
great attachment

super easy to switch the tail piece to use this great attachment. A must have for anyone touring with twin tips. holds much nicer than the standard clip does.
Only way to go!

Works Great!!!

These connectors work wonders. Easy to use, easy to adjust, and saves your top sheet. It was a bit hard to get the stock tail clips off of the skins, but other than that super easy to use.
I highly recommend these connectors.

would theses be needed with moments (square tips and tails)?
Sandy Brown

No unless your Moments have a significantly raised tail.
Great for Splitboards

I used this G3 connector kit and the Black Diamond STS kit to make a functional tail clip for splitboard skins.

Cool Gadgets, not necessary for semi-twins

I used these on a pair of BD Verdicts, but I realized they weren't any better than the regular clips - just a lot harder to put on and off in a hurry. But I can see that they would work great for a pair of big twins. They definitely do the job of staying put when you cinch them down nice and tight. Don't be afraid to stretch those skins!
No more stopping to adjust skins

If you have a pair of twin tips and skins, you need these. They work great and are easy to install.
Works as advertised

Worked perfectly well with my K2 WorkStinx. They have a rounded, upturned tail (not true twin-tip)--the G3 Connector holds skins on securely. Biggest issue was getting the original skin clips off my G3 skins--took a bit of muscle.

Great idea and it works with no hassels.I've been using these
on my short skins for my Tonics.You don't have to worry about
the tail connector coming off.Once secured they aren't moving.
Can these be used with some Black Diamond...

Can these be used with some Black Diamond Ascention skins?
Sandy Brown

Yes. They will fit the tails of the current BD skins. Enjoy!
These things are great for twin tips and splitboards

They are a must have for twin tip skis. I no longer have the tail slipping from side to side.
The only think that would make them better is a wider channel so I wouldn't have had to trim the fat part of the plastic tail.
Work great on Kuro's
Ron Mason
Member since
I had trouble finding a tip connector that were bomber for my Kuro's and ultimately found the holy grail right here with the G3 Tip connector's. They don't peel off when hitting the odd stump, tree or rock and they help set a good line when applying the skin.
Thinking about buying these. What skin...
MCSWIGS

Thinking about buying these. What skin size would I buy for 191cm twin tip skis with a tip with of 136mm?
Sandy Brown

For best grip, get the 130mm in a XL length.
