Just for clarification, if BD offered a 130 mm skin (or if you went with some other brand that offered this size), you'd save a few bucks by trimming off a single mm from the 130s over trimming 11 mm from the 140s. But BD doesn't offer that size, and after much experimentation I'd recommend setting fire to any non-BD skin you own, because only BDs are worth standing on. Bite the bullet, buy the 140s, and get trimming! Whatever you do, DO NOT go with the 125s, as you'll get more slideback (especially on side hills) than you'll be able to stand.

These only come in one length - super long. Then you trim to fit. The variant options are width measurements. When sizing you should match this width to the fattest part of you ski (the tip dimensions). For the P4's, which are [181cm] 134 / 108 / 128mm, you should go with the 140's. These will give you the best fit. *Trimming tool is included.
