G3 Alpinist Climbing Skin

Item #GGG0182 | 140 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Graceful design

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #181 - Climbing Skins March 29, 2010

Best looking skin around. The tip attachment is the best I've seen for not dragging in the snow or having any buildup. Its so low-profile there is no resistance. Easily packable because they are so supple, but that could also be a problem because the thin plush doesn't grip as well as the thicker plush found on some skins (such as Black Diamonds).
