Escapist Universal Climbing Skins

A climbing skin is a specialized piece of equipment used in backcountry skiing. It attaches to the bottom of skis and provides traction for ascending snowy slopes. The sticky side adheres to the ski, while the textured side grips the snow, allowing skiers to climb uphill without sliding back down.

The camming clip is an attachment mechanism that secures the climbing skin to the tail of the ski. Its camming action creates a tight fit, ensuring that the skin stays in place during use. This stability is crucial for maintaining performance and safety while skiing uphill.

The self-aligning tip attachment allows the front of the climbing skin to automatically adjust and fit snugly onto the ski's tip. This feature simplifies the attachment process, making it quicker and more secure, which is essential for effective climbing and preventing the skin from coming loose.

A trim tool is included with climbing skins to help users cut the skin to fit the specific shape and size of their skis. Since skis vary in width and shape, the trim tool ensures a perfect fit, maximizing the skin's performance and efficiency on the slopes.

Universal compatibility means that the climbing skin is designed to fit a wide range of ski types and sizes. This versatility allows many different skiers to use the same climbing skin without needing specialized versions, making it a practical choice for backcountry skiing enthusiasts.

While climbing skins are designed for universal compatibility, it's important to check the specifications of the skins to ensure they fit your specific ski model. Most climbing skins can accommodate various ski shapes and sizes, but confirming compatibility will help you achieve optimal performance.
