Low Fat Climbing Skins

Super packable skins designed specifically for fat skis.

  • Lighter weight/more packable
  • Trimmable to fit all sidecuts
  • Durable hydrophobic synthetic material repels water, lasts longer
  • Deluxe style includes rubber tip and metal tail hook
  • Trim kit & storage sack included

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.

Skin Chart & Trimming Guidelines

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.
