Some tips for kicking ass with skins: If the skins will be dedicated to one pair of skis, sew the tip loop. Use a file to notch the tail of your ski so the sts clip can't slide off to the sides. When regluing, screw BD's advice of soaking glue up with paper: use the paper to protect your iron, get the glue hot over a section of skin, then use a metal scraper to remove glue like it was a hotwax job on your ski.

Can be sewn, but they now come with a screw-on clamping piece that works very well if you know they are going to be dedicated to 1 pair of skis. Folding still works of course
