Pros | Super light and compact, sticky glue, good grip/glide balance | Light, fast gliding, enough grip, optimized glue, universal tip and tail | Light, fast, compact | Light, fast gliding | Super light, good-enough grip and glide, low maintenance stick |
Cons | Moody tail clip, sticky glue | Mohair blend will wear out faster than all nylon, harder to find than other brands | Compromised grip, compromised durability | Durability concerns, limited grip | Moody adhesive, finicky tail clip |
Bottom Line | The snow contact surface is perfectly tuned, while the glue is especially tenacious and the tail clip is a little moody, at best | Climbing skins inherently strike compromises; winner of our top award, it balances competing demands better than any other | For skilled skinners and efficiency hounds on cold snow there are no better skins available | You get exceptional glide, but pay for that with durability, grip, and some icing resistance | Ultra light, low-maintenance, high performance skins for discerning users in specific applications |
