By Ranked #564 - Climbing Skins March 23, 2009

durable and grippy enough not to slide backwards on the skin track, even when you're following the BD crew on dawn patrol and they're going straight up the hill. What more could you want?

I've heard gripes about the tip loop but never had a problem with mine coming off. If you make sure the tip to clip length is adjusted short enough to clip on nice and tight, I don't think you'll have problems. I wrapped a rubberband around my skins right behind the tip loop to keep the folded back portion from coming undone. also found that a utility knife works much better than the included trimming tool, just be careful.
