Get access to any mountain with a set of Black Diamond Skins this winter. The Ascension Nylon STS skins give the best grip for climbing, while still gliding with ease. This year's model comes improved on the traditional Ascension design with new printed plush material. The longer fibers grab the snow for better climbing but sit flatter for easier gliding.
Black Diamond's improved skins add a bit of silicone to their glue for easier pulling apart. The glue is also temperature and compression active allowing it to become more tacky in the cold. A lighter weight design with the continued durability of previous models, this year's Ascension keeps the dense backing to avoid twisting when at the top of the mountain with frozen fingers and a need for powder.
The patented STS adjustable tail provides 10 cm of length adjustment on these skins while the adjustable tip attachment fits a wide range of ski tip shapes. These skins come in a long length meant to be cut down to fit your ski.
These Black Diamond Ascension Skins come equipped and assembled with tail clip and all of the materials you will need to cut them down to fit to your ski. The tip attachment is included for self-assembly. All 2012 BD Skins also include a new and improved zip closer, durable nylon ripstop bag.

Black Diamond Ascension STS Skins Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
"I would buy this product again and agai
GOOD
Negative Reviews:
glue fails, tail strip breaks
the terrible: from dry Colorado snow to wet Canadian snow, glue looses it's stickiness quickly (3rd use), in wet snow pretty much no stick (except for residue it leaves on base of the skis), tail strip rips out at metal gusset easily (gusset gets lost on trail), after first swap from off to on the skis while on the trail, the glue is toast (even with all the tricks of keeping it clean, warmed in coat, etc). What happened to the BD glue? My old BD skins stick fine.
