Owner's Manual

Fat and shaped skis are here to stay, especially in the backcountry. But that extra surface area means wider skins. The catch: more weight and more bulk. That's why we've made our skins lighter and less bulky. This makes a big difference if you like to fold up your skins and keep them warm in your jacket between runs.

Sizing Information

Straight or shaped?
If you will use your skins for touring and weight and glide are of primary concern, a straight skin may be your best choice. If you climb a lot of vertical and your skis are considered “super-sidecut” (greater than 25mm difference between tip and waist), trimming your skins to fit the shape of your skis will give you more climbing performance.

For straight skins:
Subtract 4-6 mm from ski waist width.
For example, if your ski waist is 74mm, a 70mm skin will fit properly.

For trim-to-shape skins:
Subtract 6-10 mm from ski tip width.
For example, if your ski tip width is 108, choose a 100mm skin.


Skin widths available:
60mm
70mm
80mm
90mm
100mm
110mm
120mm
130mm
