Buying advice

When choosing ski skins, consider the balance between glide and grip needed for your typical terrain, the weight you’re willing to carry, and your budget. Pure mohair skins provide the best glide but are pricier and less durable, while hybrid mohair-nylon skins offer a good compromise. Ensure the skins fit your ski width and check the attachment system (screws vs. clips) for ease of use.
