Whats the difference in all the different BD skins? Why is no width listed for the STS skins?

Black Diamond essentially makes two different models of Skins, the Ascension & the GlideLite.

The Ascension is a BD classic, featuring durable, hydrophobic construction and offer tremendous durability and climbing security.

Where GlideLites are designed to be Super-packable, lightweight and durable, these skins have the same hydrophobic and durable plush as the Ascension Series, but are designed with a thinner and more supple laminate construction, making them easier to fold and fit inside a jacket pocket.

Each model is offered with multiple clipping options (STS, Custom STS, Clipfix, Standard):

STS- easiest and most versatile system uses an elastomer strap for consistent attachment on a single pair of skis or easy adjustment to skis of differing lengths. Best suited for twin tips.

Custom STS- Pre-cut to match your ski lengths, these are a perfect match to a wide range of skis. Come with integrated tip loops and STS adjustable tails.

Clipfix- classic system for speedy and simple attachment via a stainless steel camming buckle to secure the skins. Ideal for skiers who want durability over adjustability.

Standard- A sewn tip loop for those who appreciate simplicity and light weight.
