Sizing advice
It is important to choose the correct length hand width for you climbing skins so they fit your skis the correct way and give you grip where you need it. Besides that it is a waste of money to select a skin that is to wide because you will cut away a lot on the sides.

Choosing the correct width

  • Check the width of the tip of your skis. You can find this in the specs tabel on the product page of the ski or if you already have skis you can find this or simply measure the widest point.
  • Select a skin width that covers the width of the tip or is a little narrower. The skin may not be wider than the width of the tip. If the skin is more narrow make shure it is not more than 15 millimeters smaller.
  • Example: Your Salomon QST 99 in the length 181 is 138mm wide in the tip. A 140mm skin is to wide and a 120mm skin is to narrow. A good width is 130mm.

Choosing the correct length

  • Climbing skins are adjustable on the tails via a strap and all climbing skins are available in several lengths.
  • Select the length of your skin so that the length of your ski fits in the middle of the adjustment range of the skin.
  • Example: Your Salomon QST 99 is 181cm long. From the Contour Hybrid mix the correct size is 177-184cm. If the length of your skis are on the edge of two size ranges it is best to choose the shorter length because climbing skins will stretch out a little.

Hybrid Technology

Hybrid is the first-ever twin-layered adhesive technology for climbing skins. The upper layer sticks the skin firmly to the ski even at low temperatures and is removed with ease without leaving any residue on the ski base. The lower layer binds the upper layer of adhesive to the skin backing.

  • Perfect ski base adhesion, even in low temperatures.
  • Effortless skin removal from the ski
  • Maintenance-free - no need for regluing. Tackiness is restored by simply cleaning the adhesive with a conventional detergent.
  • Easy handling as the skins can be folded together.

Mix

The grip and glide layer of a Hybrid Mix skin consist of a combination of Mohair and Nylon material mixed in a ratio of 65% Mohair and 35% Nylon. This combination provides the perfect balance of durability, glide, and grip.


Trim To Fit
The skins come in a fixed but adjustable length range. The sidecut needs to be matched to your ski or board, which is easily done with the included trimming tool.
