Colltex Mix: 65% mohair 35% polyamide, the addition of polyamide makes the Mix skin robust and resistant. Ideal for people who appreciate a good uphill hold in all temperature ranges.

2) The type of adhesive :

Standard glue: Traditional glue that made Colltex famous. A real layer of glue applied to the skin allows a perfect hold on the ski. This adhesive system is the most widely used today and has many years of experience. The glue can be changed by re-gluing the skin.

CT40: A silicone molecular glue, the CT 40 technology acts like hundreds of micro suction cups that press the skin against the ski. This allows use in all situations from -50°c to +50°c on wet or frozen snow. It is also a glue that allows easy skinning and peeling. Its suction cups can be reactivated with the CT40 liquid glue.

Whizzz: (without glue) Acrylic adhesive without glue last generation, the Whizzz allows a use without constraint. Skin and skin easily, no more need for netting or storage socks. The adhesive can be renewed thanks to the Whizzz tape solution.

Front hitch: Slingbar 70+: The Slingbar 70+ is a steel stirrup adjustable between 70 and 125 mm karge. Designed for very wide skis

Rear Hook: Camlock: The Camlock system is used at the back of the skin in addition to the glue and the front stirrup, to ensure an irreproachable hold by tension even over a long period of use or in extreme conditions. It can be adapted to all skis that have a heel with a rear hanger positioning plate.

4) The shape of the skin :

Straight skin: The straight skin is ideal for a straight or narrow ski that does not require a wider skin with a spatula than with a skate.

Cutting set: the cutting set allows you to have a custom-made skin. The skin is wider than the ski and must be cut by the user (material provided in the kit). It covers the whole ski whatever its geometry.

Easy fit cut : the new Easy fit Cut concept is based on the concept of the custom skin. A skin delivered already cut and assembled for your skis.
