G3 Genuine Guide Gear Alpinist Elle Skin

If you’re a guide in the backcountry, other people’s lives can depend on the gear that you choose. That’s why, in 1995, when G3 started making avalanche probes, they decided to hold every item they made to a higher standard. Will this piece of equipment improve the abilities and safety of professionals who live and work in the backcountry?

Our goal was to create a climbing skin that meets the unique needs of female skiers. We started with our revolutionary Alpinist climbing skin, developed the RipStrip and then added some style. The RipStrip reduces skin-to-skin adhesion, making the Alpinist elle easy to pull apart while reducing transition time.
