Climb well, glide poorly, stretch when wet

By Jacon Mayer Ranked #430 - Climbing Skins October 4, 2009

Previous reviewers got it right.

These skins stick like crazy and it's great. They don't glide that well. The glue is decent and holds up reasonably well (if you take care of it, obviously).

Downside: when they get wet, they stretch, and then the Clipfix system doesn't work too well because you can't tighten it down. Then the gobs start getting in between the skin and the ski, and that sucks.

Conclusion: good skin, Clipfix best for dry snow conditions.
