These skins work great for short skins in resorts and they work on my 130/111/120 pow skis. Its not the best for steep hills, but for how tiny they are they work great, they fit easily in my pocket.Basically if you are doing short low grade skin trips they work fine.

They are too skinny and they only cover the area under your foot, hence the name 'kicker' skin. A fat ski is kind of the wrong application for this type of skin.
