Alpinist+ Universal Climbing Skins

Climbing skins are specialized strips of material that attach to the bottom of skis to provide traction for uphill travel in backcountry skiing. They are typically made from nylon and feature a sticky side that adheres to the ski, allowing skiers to ascend slopes without sliding backward. This makes them essential for anyone looking to explore off-piste terrain.

PFC-free waterproofing is an environmentally friendly option that avoids harmful perfluorinated compounds, which are often used in water-resistant materials. Choosing PFC-free climbing skins helps protect the environment while still providing excellent moisture resistance, preventing water from being absorbed into the skin and maintaining performance in wet conditions.

The self-aligning tip attachment feature allows the front of the climbing skin to automatically align and attach securely to your ski. This design simplifies the process of putting on the skins, ensuring a snug fit that enhances traction while climbing. It saves time and effort, especially in cold or challenging conditions.

An adjustable tail attachment allows you to customize the fit of the climbing skin to different ski lengths. This ensures that the skin stays securely in place during use, which is crucial for effective climbing. A well-fitted skin prevents slippage and enhances your overall skiing experience.

The trim tool is designed to help you cut your climbing skins to the appropriate size for your specific skis. Since skis vary in length and width, using the trim tool allows you to customize the skins for a perfect fit. This ensures optimal performance and efficiency while climbing, making your backcountry adventures more enjoyable.

Climbing skins are primarily designed for backcountry skis, which are typically wider and have a specific profile for uphill travel. While you can use them on various ski types, it's essential to ensure that the skins are compatible with your ski's dimensions and shape for the best performance. Always check the specifications before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
