Benchmark Uphill Traction. Staff-Tested Backcountry Durability.
These Black Diamond Skins set the gold standard for reliable uphill climbing grip, making steep skin tracks feel secure underfoot. Our staff have extensively used and tested these skins across local alpine terrain and found them to be super durable. Crafted from high-traction nylon plush, they provide maximum grip while maintaining an efficient forward glide. Equipped with pre-fixed tip hardware and an adjustable tail system, they deliver intuitive tensioning season after season.
Staff-Tested Durability: Rigorously used and field-tested by our crew to guarantee exceptional abrasion resistance and long-term reliability on cold alpine tours.
Durable Nylon Plush Material: Premium 100% nylon construction engineered to maximize climbing grip on steep terrain without sacrificing slide efficiency.
Patented STS Adjustable Tail System: Provides up to 10cm of length adjustment for easy tensioning and seamless fit adjustments across multiple skis in your quiver.
Low-Profile Tip Hardware: Redesigned tip wire prevents snow buildup underneath skin tips across modern ski tip geometries.
Pre-Cut Bikini-Style Tail: Streamlined tail shape cuts down overall weight and minimizes drag as you slide through fresh powder.
Time-Tested Cold-Weather Glue: BD Gold Label adhesive provides an unyielding grip to ski bases in freezing temperatures without leaving messy residue.
