G3 Genuine Guide Gear Alpinist Skins

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?

The Alpinist Climbing skin is G3’s premium, lightweight high performance climbing skin. An innovative tip connector and laminated tail strap make the Alpinist secure and very easy to use, while a supple proprietary synthetic plush delivers fast glide and unwavering traction. The new RipStrip also reduces skin-to-skin adhesion making skins easier to pull apart. All G3 skin adhesive is temperature tolerant and non-toxic/solvent free.

Traction and reliability are the name of the game for Alpinist Skins from G3. Designed for easy use the Alpinist skin uses a synthetic surface for superior traction and dramatic weight reduction. They are then treated for waterproofness so they resist snow build up and hold up to day-in-day-out use. G3's improved tip and tail connectors keep these skins in place over the long haul and are easier to remove with gloves on.
