The G3 Expedition Climbing Skins give you great grip on snow during your backcountry tours, and the tip and tail connections fit securely, so you're not constantly slipping back and stopping to wrestle the skin-tails back on your skis. G3's new laminated tail reduces weight and drag while keeping the same dependable clip connection. The Expedition Climbing Skins' adhesive sticks to the base of your skis in all temperatures, and G3's waterproof finish keeps these skins dry and clump-free.
Bottom Line: Get a good ski-to-skin and skin-to-snow connection with G3's Expedition Climbing Skins.
Write your question here...i have a pair of twin tip k2 piste pipes 169 length 120mm tip 84mm waist 110mm tail WOULD THESE SKINS BE SUITABLE FOR A SKI OF THIS SIZE/TYPE? also can these be shipped to AUSTRALIA? CHEERS JAMES
You can get either the 110mm or 120mm skins, and trim them to fit to your needs. As for shipping, add it to your cart, and put in your postal code/ZIP and it will tell you shipping to Australia and costs.
i am getting the 2010 gotama and need to get skins for them. This will be my first pair of skins so im not sure what to get. I believe the skis are 186cm in length and 106 underfoot, what skins and size skins should i get?
You should get skins to just about 0-10mm NARROWER than the tip width of your ski. THat way when you trim them they are edge to edge fit providing the best performance. Length can be done to fit easily as well.
Pull them out of the box, stuck 'em on my ski's and pulled a sled over hill and dale in the Wind rivers for 6 day. Never had a problem even on the steepest hills. Clumped up once on a warm day. bomber.
I've had these for a season and change so far. They're starting to loose some adhesive in spots. They definately work well though. In retrospect, I do wish I'd gone lighter and gotten the Alpinist skins.
I know next to nothing about skins, this will be my first pair. I have the K2 Hippy stinx (130,97,118) so what width of skin should I get? Telemark.com says 120, and also the Hippy Stinx are twin, so will the tail attachment work/what kind of skins would be compatable with a twin tip ski?
This skin will work fine. I would say get a 120mm, then you have less to trim on the tip, but it is more important for you to be wall to wall with skins in the middle of the ski. The black diamond STS glidelites are also a great skin that would work well with a twin tip.
These are the first skins I've owned so I don't have a lot to compare them to, but I've found that the way the skin wraps back on itself around the front loop allows snow to work its way under the skin as you slide the ski forward. On a recent tour after about 4 hours of climbing the top foot or so of the skin was not attached to the ski and had snow packed underneath.
They are all pretty good, I've personally had experience with Black Diamond and I like them a lot. The Ascension's are a stiffer more burly skin and the Glidlite's are a lighter weight somewhat thinner skin. Both are great just depends on how much you are going to uses them and what you are looking for.
Just bought 2nd pair of these skins. like em a lot. Light, packable, good in spring warm/cold/warm/cold snowpacks...powder one minute, wet glop another. If youve experienced it you know what im talkin about. Ski with a lot of ppl w/ BD skins, etc..and these seem to stay the most glop free. They still ice up time to time but good. glide is good, and when skins are sopping wet, they tend to dry pretty quickly too.
overall a good purchase and come with a GREAT trimming tool if your gonna do it yourself.
I just picked up a pair of these, and no where in the instructions does it say anything about short term storage in the field. Should I fold each skin in half adhesion side in, or should I join each skin adhesion side in?
best option are skin savers - basically a nylon mesh half the length of the skin. You fold the skin in half with the mesh in between - they still stick together and are easy to pack away but are also easier to pull apart again and it supposedly saves the adhesive
By "short term storage," I assume you mean something like in the car on the way to the trailhead, and in your jacket or pack on the descent. For those situations, I fold and join each skin individually, in half, glue side to glue side. Joining two full-length skins together cleanly is very tricky, especially if it's windy or snow is blowing around. It's usually not worth the effort.
I really like these skins bc they dont stick together too much but stick on the skis very good. they also glide very well in the flats...not too heavy of a skin. which is good for packing but they may tear easily over rocks...but who skins on rocks anyway. good skins best priced that i found.
