Ascension Skins from Black Diamond are renowned for their grippy, high-traction performance on steep climbs. With the secure STS system, you have adjustability to change the skin's tension as conditions fluctuate. Approximately 5 cm of length adjustability also means you can use 1 pair of skins for multiple pairs of skis.
Features:
- Skin Tight System (STS) offers a broad range of adjustment so you'll only need one pair for most of the skis in your quiver
- Constructed from non-absorbent nylon with a hydrophobic treatment to increase water repellency and performance; adhesive back features a glueless strip to make removal easier in the field
- Swaged cable tip loop is super strong and fits a wide range of ski tip profiles
- There are 3 choices in sizing skins for your skis:
- Maximum climbing ability: size equal to or slightly less than the width of the ski tip; trim to fit with included trim tool
- Lightest & most compact (recommended only for skis with less than 20 mm sidecut): size approximately 5 mm (no more than 10 mm) narrower than width of the ski waist; no trimming necessary - just center them on the ski
- Best of both worlds: choose a skin about 10 mm narrower than the tip for skis with less than 20 mm sidecut, about 15 mm narrower for skis with 20 – 30 mm sidecut, about 20 mm narrower for skis with more than 30 mm sidecut. Then just trim them to fit with included trim tool.
