"These were what I hoped for on my xcd set up. fast gliding skins. only downside is no glue in center strip and my skis are pretty skinny so I have to add glue to the center for my setup."
"These skins are the best skins I have ever owned or used. They go on and off the skies with ease, and the climbing tenacity on uphills is really great."
"The measurement and assembly process of the first skin nearly broke me. The repeated process of putting the skin on and pulling it off the skin was annoying. It took me forever to figure out the right tool to punch holes through the skin easily. My two tricks that sped up that process on the second skin: the skin is just 85% of your ski length and one of those small eyeglasses screwdrivers punched holes easily. The skins performed wonderfully at Owl’s Head when I finally got to test them out. They performed better than my friend’s teal Pomocas."
"Work well!"
"These are reliable skins. Additionally, building them out to fit my skis was very easy."
"Excellente!"
"Not the skins I wanted, but I needed skins and the ones I've always bought were out of stock."
"I like these so much I’m even considering getting another pair"
"Used a bunch- best tip and tail attachment system out there."
"Easy to trim, new system handy, shag seems to shed and wets out quickly. Feels delicate compared to BD’s mixed offerings, new tip attachment is a nice upgrade to the previous dyneema loop"
