What ranges are available?

• Mohair/nylon blend: good compromise between grip and glide.
• Robust nylon: perfect for steep slopes and longevity.
• Pre-cut skins and skins to cut for custom skis.

How to choose?

To know how to choose your skins for touring, ask yourself these questions:

• Type of terrain (gentle or steep slope)?
• Frequency and length of outings?
• Desired weight and performance?

In short: prioritize mohair for glide, nylon for durability, and the mix for balance.

Cutting and techniques

For a perfect fit, learn to make technical cuttable skins. Here is the simple method:

• Place the skin, stick the adhesive side on the ski (without completely removing the protection).
• Trace the outline of the ski with a slightly felt pen.
• Cut leaving 2–3 mm of space on the edges, then gradually adjust.
• Cut the shape of the tail and tip in several small passes for a clean result.

Useful tools: sharp cutter, metal ruler, fine pliers, and fine sandpaper for final adjustment.

Simple and effective maintenance

• Clean the adhesive surface with warm water and mild soap. Avoid aggressive solvents.
• Air dry, away from direct sunlight.
• Store the skins with the adhesive protective fabric and skin roll to avoid dust.
• Renew the adhesive with a specific glue when adhesion decreases.
• Avoid applying wax on the adhesive part.
