I like em!

By Bryan Stern Ranked #151 - Climbing Skins January 31, 2011

I like these a lot so far. I like that they are flexible which allows me to fold them up more tightly in my bag. They definitely aren't as sticky as my BD skins, but I haven't had any trouble with them coming off my skis and it does make pulling them apart easier. I find the grip a little less strong than my BDs, but barely. The glide is definitely better. My only complains are with the tip and tail attachments and they are minor. I had to widen the tip connectors to fit onto my DPS's and I found that fairly difficult. The tail clip, while fine, can be a bit tricky in the cold as the rubber is harder. I definitely prefer the BD tail clips.
