"Haven't had the chance to try them out yet, but looks great. Comes with the trimmer which is quite helpfull."
"I’m new to ski touring, but the traction of these skins are insane. I was going pretty straight up in some sections and not once did I break traction. They glide decent enough. Definitely great bang for the buck in my opinion."
"Great in crisp cold conditions and wet spring snow. No slip so far. Been loving the uphill again!"
"Just got the skins. It was very easy to set up and cut with the new tool provided. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Only thing that I would say is that I am quite disappointed that there are blemishes on the skins. I just assumed for the price, there would be no blemishes on the skins."
"Quality, I cut them to my Line Prophet 115's (Rotafella Freeride NTN) Hold and glide well on the fat ski! I work at Okemo,VT, this season, use after work often. Plan to take to Mt. Washington, NH, when the season is done here."
"Peau adhère bien, glisse bien aussi, colle super pour plusieurs transitions."
"I've had nothing by good experiences with these skins so far this season. It was a cinch to trim them with the tool they provided, the bag and skin savers are compact and easy to take up the hill, and the skins have the perfect balance of grip and glide for me. Love it. Would recommend these to anyone."
"I wanted to wait until I had a chance to use these a few times before reviewing them, and now that I have, I must say I am very impressed. The ideal mix of glide and grip, these are as good as I have had in skins. Super tacky out of the box, and easy to cut with the included cutter. Easy to put on and take off, and the quality holds up well. As mentioned above, the ability to glide and grip on the climbs is fantastic, and makes your uphill skins that much easier. Highly recommend."
"excellent, highly recommend"
"I went with the medium because it it fit my skis butni would have been better of taking the size up because the more surface you skin the better. So if yoy see the larger model fits your skis go with that one."
