Skins worked great on my K2 world piste

Rating:*****

They fit perfectly on my skis. Easy to adjust size. I walked straight up the mountain. The best Christmas present and my wife got all the information she neede from Backcountry's chat room before she purchased them. It was easy.

good work

Rating:****

the front attachemtnet is super great, I have had a few pairs of skins and these have by far the the best front attachement point. Just make sure that you do ti right, you only get one shot at it.

Great climbing skins especially with the Volkl Chopsticks. I bought last years pair of skins in 130mm for 173-180cm skis. They fit the Chopsticks perfectly. Then simply get some Marker Duke bindings and you're well set.

Love these mainly because of the tail attachment. Super quick and easy to use, won't fail even if your glue does! Just don't lose the little metal clip.

JusT bought my second pair ... these skins rock my backcountry box . Steep terrain just trust these babies and they'll take you there. Worth every penny.
