Perfect Match for the Manaslu

Rating:*****

I must have owned and used a dozen pairs of climbing skins by now over the years -- but all from Black Diamond. I was a little nervous about using another brand. But with almost 100,000 vertical on these, I am happy to report that my fears were unfounded:
-- Glide is excellent, much better than Ascension nylon.
-- Grip has been fine, no problems.
-- In temps ranging from around 0F to around 40F, with multiple laps, no glue problems at all.
Caveats:
-- As you can from the temp range, these were used in midwinter snow only, so I don't know about grip on firm corn or glue performance in room temperature spring glop.
-- When new, many loose threads appear. This is probably annoying only to someone like me. But after snipping off a few after each outing with nail clippers, they stopped appearing anyway.
(Attached pic: the skins got me up to the top of this, and now the Manaslu skis will get me to the bottom!)

glide and slide

Rating:*****

These combo mohair/synthetic skins grip well and glide well.

I thought the tip attachment would have been finicky but I found it easy and smooth. I have always loved grabbing my tips to pull skins off, its easier than trying to grab your tails.

And not having to trim my skins. Easy
