Hello,I am using a splitboard since three years. Everything works fine, but the skins. They are voile splitboard skins which were delivered with my prior khyber board. I hardly can climb without crampons - at moderately steep ascents on a hard, slightly frozen surface I have no sufficient traction. Can anyone recommend me better skins? Or am I just too lightweight (50 kilos)?Cheers,Genia

I've got a Burton 165 split board and use the really wide and as long BD skins. It takes some customizing but the work and I've never had any slipage problems.

It might be as simple as where your feet are placed during skinning. Ultimately the hair on the skins doesn't grip to icey surfaces, it needs the breakup of snow to allow the hairs to stand perpendicular to the ski.
